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."

Event Description
Hey metro Detroit area Moms,
Well, what do you moms think? Perhaps we can start connecting with the other moms/wives/girlfriends from our area and plan a mid March get together at Nello's Diner in Royal Oak.
I think spring would be more agreeable for all. Let me know how you feel about Sunday, March 15th from 2-4pm.
Our last meeting we all decided to come wearing our favorite NAVY graphic/ or colored tops so maybe if you guys feel like it we can do it again and get some great photo OPs!!
Also, if you'd like to bring your camera and your photos of your sailors too!! Looking forward to meeting all of you!!
