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 am sorry Laura! I was actually planning on going, Good thing I logged in this am to see what time and that it was canceled. :( I think the 11 am hour may have done it. Besides a packing party, I have never seen us gather that early. LOL. We are much more an afternoon and evening bunch.
So I officially have a 3rd class Petty Officer! And it looks like on Facebook that Becky posted hers is now a 2nd class Petty Officer!
Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Appears that I will have to reschedule the Saturday morning "Meet & Greet" at the Olive Garden.
I think that I was the only one showing up at 11:00. Since people will look at me funny if I am sitting there talking to myself, I will reschedule. Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Mother's Day all! I got to see my son for days last weekend for my daugher-in-laws graduation from Eastern. It was amazing to get four days straight of uninterupted time with him and his wife! We got everything packed up from her place and this weekend they began their cross country trek from Chicago to WA. They called this am from South Dakota. Hope you all enjoy your day whether it is with or without your kids!
