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."

Might be along drive for Nancy ;-) but I look forward to seeing you again Neese. We might even get a chance to talk a bit! So hard when there is large groups.

I need to look at a map and see how he is traveling karla but if he is coming thru GA and needs a resting spot or dinner - please let me know.

Got to spend some time with some of my favorite FC moms this weekend. GA had it's first gathering...Nancy, Neese and Mary. Okay, Nancy doesn't live in GA but has family in town so we were able to induct her as an honorary Georgian!

Intel - since we formerly lived in N. California...it's very possible that I was indeed thinking of Half Moon Bay :-D.
Heather ---- can't believe it's time to see Scott off already! Enjoy your evening together.
Karla - wishing Ryan safe travels this week. How long of a drive is it for them?

Oh Marsher - you are SO right! It is Full Moon Cafe. Almost looks like a truck stop from the outside but the food, prices and service are great. Owned by a greek family, they also own Flannigans around the corner. We did our PIR gathering at Full Moon as well they gave us the back room and it was fabulous for what we needed.
I love a good breakfast - so we seem to end up at Full Moon every chance we can and now...I learn about Wildberry!

Is it on base or ? I think we tried the Half Moon Cafe and always go back for more!

Hoppi - what a wonderful outing for you and your hubby. So glad that the Navy is making an investment in the marriages. A good marriage can make such a difference in a good sailor! Now, no fighting with your hubby Hoppi!! LOL
Kathy J's Mom - okay...I've been to GL twice in the past year...what's Wildberry?! I hear what you are saying - every Sailor you just want to ask...
On Election Day this year, I went to the polls and there was a Sailor in his dress blues...there is not a Naval base for hours near us - I almost mobbed the poor sailor! He was with his parents and had been home on leave but was flying back that day so he wanted to vote at home and then was heading to the airport.

We had a wonderful luncheon here in GA today for the Navy families in the area -almost as many "proud dads" as there were moms! I got to have lunch with two of our FC moms and we met a new ET mother as well. Photo soon!

You are right on both counts - he doesn't use his gloves much and he really takes good care of this items!!
