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."

Jeana - sorry you can't make it but perfectly understandable. Keeping up with kids schedules is a full time job in itself! Congratulations to the new Sailor! Woo Hoo! Good luck to him in "A" school.
Sounds like there definitely needs to be another M&G in the future so we can all meet the ones who can't make it this Saturday. As a mother of boys I'm always up for a "Girls Day Out"!
Good Morning Ladies!
So sorry to have to send my regrets at this late date. My daughter has a volleyball tournament in Illinois on Saturday, which I didn't realize when I rsvp'd. I'm so sad about this. My son graduated 2 weeks ago and the ceremony was amazing! He's settling in to his A school in Meridian Mississippi. Apparently, life DOES get better after boot, ha! If you all are on Facebook, I'd love to have you as friends. My name is Jeana Smith Arbuckle. Look for me! Also, dfroe64, I also live in O'Fallon! I'm wondering if we have a mutual friend named Carla Cutler? She called me last weekend and told me of a friend of hers son was leaving for boot camp. If so, what a small world! Ladies, let's plan another lunch date soon, please???
Oh No Proud2. I am so sorry you are hurting!! We will just have to plan another one when you can attend!! Keep us posted please!!
Proud2baNavyMom--Oh no! Sorry about you hurting your foot, and so seriously too. Take care of yourself. We'll miss you. Hope to meet you next time around.
