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."

Mary, if you'll edit the calendar, I'll send out the message to move to Westmont. I apologize for stepping on toes--I don't mean to take over, but Debi, Navy Mom, really wants us to meet her son. Her husband even offered to fly her in from Pittsburgh! I'm so excited about meeting all of you tonight!

Mary, how about sending a message to everyone in the group? Santino's mom Debi was trying to contact Laura yesterday, but I don't know if Laura got the message.

I just received a message from Santino's mom with the following message. What do you think we should do?
Just talked to Santino.He just got back from Mazatlan so this is all real FAST. The Glen Ellyn Tap House is being run by the franchise now so he suggests you go to the Westmont Tap House only 8 miles difference. He would still meet you if you want in Glen Ellyn BUT at Westmont he can arrange for your comps.(would be WELL worth it to you) In any case, let me know so I can arrange for him to meet you

woo-hoo-- things changed! I talked to my son, and he said, "I'll go have dinner with the Navy moms!" How can I let him go and not me? So I called my husband and asked if he'd leave work early and go with me. He said sure--so I think you'll end up meeting all of us!

I know I'm not going to make it--three hour drive. I hope you have a great time and agree to meet again later in the spring. I checked to look at distances for my son--I thought maybe I could get him to meet you. I'll suggest it, but it's an hour's drive from Zion, too, and his first full day of duty at GL. I really want to meet Santino who owns Tap House. He's been somewhere warm, but his mom was going to call him and let him know as soon as he got back that the Chicago Moms are coming in.
