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."

51 signed up for Thursday, April 24th dinner - Will you be joining us?
I have reserved a room for dinner on Thursday evening, April 24th @ 7 pm at the Full Moon Restaurant which is just down the street from the base.
The website for the restaurant is - www.fullmoonopen24hours.com
If you would like to join us for dinner, please posted your name and head count with your ship and division # on this forum and I will try to keep a running total to submit to the restaurant the week before. We are hoping to make name tags (no promises) by screen name and division so everyone will know they have been chatting with.
Look forward to meeting everyone!

Mary- This is a great idea and it so cool that you took the initiative to reserve the room. I would love to go, but I doubt that we will be into GL until very late, it is almost a 14 hour drive from here and I know that there will be stops made since we have 2 other kids and my in laws riding with us... If it was just my husband and myself it would be a straight through trip. If things change I will let you know. I am planning on wearing my grey t-shirt that says "Proud Navy Mom" and the rest of the family (at least the kids) will have their's on too.

Understand April, it is a 12 + hour drive for us so we bit the bullet and are flying in. I think it's going to be just my husband and I as our daughter is 4 hours away in college and is going into finals that week. Nick's girlfriend is trying to fly in from Philly but she also has finals that week and may want to go see him once he is settled into bootcamp.
Having thought about what I'm wearing yet - understand that you will see every kind of attire. I think a Proud Navy Mom shirt is appropriate for the event! I bet there will be alot of them out there.
