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."

I can handle 1-3"!
gvnavydad~ did the hotel say anything to you about having to have your son sign for your room since we had to put them in their names. Someone said that at the navy lodge, we had to have them come in and to that. Is that right?

Good morning everyone, we made it to Waukegan. After a very long 18-hour drive that included a snowstorm in Kentucky, we arrived at 4pm central time. We were dead tired so just now getting back on N4Ms. I am praying for everyone traveling today. It is 21 degrees here with light snow; they are calling for 1-3 inches here today. Lord let everyone have safe hassle free travel today. Looking forward to meeting, everyone tonight be safe!

Just got back from the continental breakfast. There were several parents here already talking about their kids. No one mentioned the Navy for Moms website, so we just sat quietly and tried to wake up with our coffee. Hurry up everyone--get here already!!!!
Babygirl and Hawkeye--so relieved for you! I meant to write that yesterday and kept missing it!
**Please all, be safe**
