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."

White Castles for Graduation?
One of our fellow moms - just pointed out they have White Castles in Chicago!! Do you think this might be considered a "really good meal" for our new sailors?!!
Seriously, we live in the South and it is a treat to go up north and have a White Castle! But what I'm really looking for is recommendations for eating out that weekend.
I hear Chicago Pizza is a must try...any others?

Most popular forum on N4M site, That is why I was freaking out today we went from 20 posts to 230 in a few hours over at pre-buds. Those poor pre-bud moms are flipping out wondering what the heck has happened.

Got to be something really serious sounding so that everyone wants to check it out!!! It is a shame I work with teenages - I can't get on this site at work - (good thing) - we would still be adding integers - "here do another worksheet - I don't care if you've already done it - do it again"
