OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Admin... Talks about PIR Dinner on 4/24 etc...

Hi Everyone!

I had a WONDERFUL time last night meeting many our N4M members and their families. :) Heh, it was great to talk to them in "real time". I woke up at 6:30 this morning... the same time they arriving to see their kids- I look forward to reading how it went!

And for those who clicked in to say hi- and watched us... THANK YOU- (and sorry about the freeze issues! lol- and when I had to turn my computer on it's side to get a disk out!) Please forgive me for not taking MORE photos (heh, I think I was talking the entire time). We will have some video up... early next week *fingers crossed*

Thanks again to Mary- the super party planner and her hubby- to setting up the event!

So, quick FYI... The defualt photo is going to be changing... to a woman - but it will only alter the NEW members that join us.

And, I'm in the windy city for the rest of the weekend... I hope to run in to some more familes and sailors! (I'll talke photos if I do!)

If you are on this weekend- please help me introduce new members... and keep it civil on the forums and blogs.

Hope you enjoy this beautiful spring weekend. Be back on Monday.

Sincerely, Catherine

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on April 25, 2008 at 3:45pm: Hi all! It was an awesome PIR!!! Tears, tears, tears! But what a good looking Sailor we have!!! Absolutely LOVED meeting everyone last night! As you all suspected Catherine is a sweetie! And we just loved that ya'll were able to see us on the live feed...of course I'm a tad scared what we looked like but it was all good! Would not have changed a thing! The Full Moon worked out well, way TOO much food, good prices and good service. Okay...Nick just called and he is checked into A school so we are off to pick him up and ...he does have the weekend off!!! Perhaps we will go find that White Castle!!!
