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."

Hey, Mary we are planning to come, but it looks like we may be one of the late arrivals! We do not arrive to O'Hare till about 5:10pm so I am thinking we will not make it our hotel till around 7pm. But, we will be hungry so we will check in and then come straight on! I am so excited to meet everyone! It will be myself, my husband, (Keith), my daughter (Addy), and Byron's girlfriend (Carissa.) Can't wait!

Wonderful Cathy, I will add you to the list. Your plane is right behind ours - we land at 4:45 and then go over to Hertz to pick up a car.
We just checked into our hotel on line and will see it after dinner!

Hey Molly, wouldn't it be fun just to be there to see everyone having such a good time. Remember ladies early night as Friday morning comes mighty early and no one to sleep in do they. This pregame party will be better than the Super Bowl's was. Only this time no ads. I wonder if the Moms know Anchors Aweigh? Better practice. Good luck and thoroughly enjoy yourselves. I will watch my PIR DVD again tonight and tomorrow and think of you all on Friday seeing it firsthand.

thank you Jeanine - we will be singing something...not sure if it will be Anchors Aweigh or not!

Anyone know the address of Harpo Studios in Chicago. The way this N4M thing has exploded perhaps Oprah might come if someone invited her. Hey Molly you got that address or number? Give it to Catherine and see what comes of it. She would be better than local TV plus we could get a national plug for our LITTLE site. Teehee!! Boy would our sailors be impressed let alone the Navy. I can see the rolling eyes right now.

You know what is funny- this is the second Oprah mention on the site. :D
