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."

Hey, I am new to the group and was wondering if there are any Navy Moms near Tuscalosa,AL

I would like to attend the get together on Sept. 11th. I have no idea where PF Changs is so if I could get directions that would be so great.

Thank you Karla and Stephsmom! I hope I can make the lunch and meet everyone.

PF Chang's is an excellent choice. Fleming's is also great but it is a little pricey.

Hi Everyone, Nic started classes last Monday, very excited, doing great so far. He really looks good in the pics that he sends me, and that makes me happy.

Thanks Francine, Nic is much improved, says he is getting really tired of cleaning. He classes up on Monday and is glad things are beginning to move forward. My son-in-law deployed to desert today, he is pilot in Air Force, my daughter is in California with their five children. God Bless All our Military and their families .....

Thanks Francine, Nic has a couple of weeks before ASchool starts, so plenty of time to feel better. I know the warm weather and sunshine will help too. I will pass the info along.

Nic's PIR was 3/12/10, very exciting. I am officially a Sailor Mom. He called me from Charleston, SC sick, fever, chills. Please keep him in your prayers that he recuperates quickly.
