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."

Dinner with MCPON WEST in Chattanooga -
MCPON West on Thursday, June 11th @ 5 pm.
We will be dining @
Sugar's Ribs
2450 15th Avenue
Chattanooga, TN 37404
(423) 826-1199
sugarsribs.com
The restaurant is casual, the prices are reasonable, the food reviews sound great! It is easy access from the freeway. They have an upstair room that we will be utilizing and a balcony that overlooks Chattanooga. It sounds wonderful!
It sounds like we will have about 20 or so dining that evening and we are looking forward to meeting everyone. If you have not had a chance to RSVP, please go to the events page for June 11th and post if are attending - how many should we add to the guest list. Please try to do so by Tuesday so we can finalize the headcount for the restaurant and MCPON West's office.
Thank you!

Mary, I'm trying to re-arrange my schedule so I can attend this dinner. So, for now, please add me to the list of attendees. If it doesn't work out that I can attend, I'll notify you asap; otherwise, I'll be there. Probably will drive by myself as I'd like to go visit some friends in TN while I'm that close to their home. Thanks. Barbara (I'll check it out on the events page too)
