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."

Heh heh, I'm thinking of a major event in GL where all of this started. Can you imagine thousands of mom's decending on RTC? But then again, we might scare the RDC's so bad they would tuck the recruits in at night and read them a bedtime story. That wouldn't make them strong, confident sailors. lol

Well . . . Arizona is having a potluck in the Phoenix area on the 8th . . .
We just go ahead and plan our own stuff instead of waiting on NFM to get around to us . . . LOL:)!
Seriously . . . who's up for a potluck in Tucson - January 24th, 2009? I'm thinking we may need to meet at a park with the way we've been growing . . . and the weather should be BEAUTIFUL:)! Come on down . . .

It would be a good idea to get hometown N4M "recruits"...then you could have representation throughout the USA....There will be lots of local Veteran's Day events around the country that could have have N4M tables or even just people there to spread the word about N4M...I know in our town the traveling Vietnam Veterans Wall will be in town...there will also be programs held at lots of schools....Just a thought....maybe some thing could come of it by next years Veterans Day...
