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'm three hours away, so I'm not sure I'll make it. I let the Navy Mom whose son owns Tap House know, so she can "warn" him!

Thursday the 5th in Glen Ellyn. Meet at 5pm, order at 5:30 so everyone can make it. Does someone want to make rsvp's? and for how many? under navy mom's?

Let's narrow it down to Westmont or Glen Ellyn. What time is the earliest anyone can make it? I thought we could meet 30 minutes before the last person so we can meet and greet and we can wait to order until all are gathered. Sound good?

I don't know if this will help, but one of my Navy Mom friends has a son who owns the Tap House Grills. She says to let Santino know anytime I want to show up and he'll treat Navy Moms well. His sister is on the Roosevelt.

OK how is February 2, 4 or 5 work for everyone. Dinner? What time? If those dates don't work then I would havet o go into February 18, 23 or 26. These are just a few dates that work for me but we can always choose something else. I thought dinner would be better because we will have more time to chat.
