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."

Thank you all for welcoming me to your group.I will plan to attend your next get together. My son is in Groton, he just got there and I think he will be there for awhile. I will be going to the Al's in Altamonte to get my T shirts and bumper stickers.

The area is fine (in the daytime). Nah, really it's not that bad. They've built up around there. We live pretty close, in Belle Isle on the lake and I travel that area a lot. I've gone in there several times and they're always nice and very helpful too, plus they keep giving me a 10% discount because I told them my son is in the military.

Thank you so much. I will try your suggestions. My son will be home after Christmas and I hope that I will then be able to purchase from the Nex.I will also try Al's Army Navy store.

Hello all. Or, Nesper, if you're near the Orlando International airport and don't have your sailor with you to buy from the Nex (you can't make any purchases there without them there) there is also an army/navy shop on Orange Blossom trail near Lancaster.

Diane, Mary and Shirley thanks for all you gals did in organizing the goodies to be donated and the get together. It was a little tight quarters there but nice all the same. I really really appreciate that you're there to take the helm on organizing stuff and making it always such a success. I can't wait to see pictures. Hey, how about one of these times we do a pot luck somewhere where no costs are involved? I think that would be as much, if not more , fun than spending money to eat each time. Like a park or something. We have a couple of nice parks near Belle Isle where I live and close to Jennifer too. We also have a woman's club. I know they charge, but who knows maybe for that they'd rent it for free-ya never know.
