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."

Middle Tennessee Area?
Hi,
I'm looking for new Navy moms from the Nashville/Middle TN area. Son is a DEPPER and leaves for boot camp end of June 2013. Would like to make some new friends close to me that are going through the same stages and emotions.

Count me in on Saturday August 24 at Blackstone, If you had 61 views, does that mean we could potentially have 120 people (moms and dads)? WOW! May need a stadium

I have no problem with guests attending. I think it will depend on if any men are there if my hubby comes or not.

Since we all go through this together, let's keep the invite open to moms, dads, girlfriends, and wives/husbands. The more Navy families the better. :) At least that's my thoughts.

Hi there fellow Navy Moms. I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. Our next meeting is November 9th at 11:30 AM. We will be meeting at the Flying Saucer in downtown Nashville. It's located just behind the Union Station Hotel. For those not familiar with the area. From Broadway, turn at the light between the Union Station Hotel and the Frist Art Museum. The Flying Saucer is located in the last section of the building just behind the Union Station. Parking is available just behind there. Hope to see you soon. Message me or respond here so I can keep up with the head count. Thanks.
