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."

My nephew is getting married on June 26th other than that I'm good for any date.

Oh Mary that stinks! Work dramas can be sooooo draining!
The fourth weekend of June would work for me. Paula what does your crazy schedule look like in June? I know you listed off so much wedding stuff you had my head spinning. I have a wedding out of town on the 19th but you are right...we will never get a date everyone can make. I am still going to the White Sox on June 2 for Navy night which is a Tuesday night if anyone wants to join let me know we have to put in a ticket order by May 10 or 12th. Oakbrook is fine with me but since you and I are new we should check with the group - they try to rotate all over the Chicagoland area and I don't know what area is next.
I got to have breakfast with my son this morning! Then we went to Nex and shopped. Got a new Navy mom shirt...that makes four.

I got all excited it was my last one but I still have this crap to go through before I feel better but I am luckier than so many. I will be ready to party in June and I want to meet you all.
Chicago mom's would that mean Oak Brook as a middle place to meet? I am good any weekend in June except the 12th and 13th, should we pick a Sat or Sun? Let's do this every one here is so nice. Paula
