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."

Brentsmom, As much as we would love your company, I hope you get to go see your son.
Golden Corral is good for me. There is a very small chance that I will be going to Meridian MS to see my son that weekend but like I said very small.
I'm putting Nov. 12th on my calendar - doesn't matter to me where it is at, I enjoy meeting the new families and seeing all of our old ones too.
There are always dads there so don't let that stop any of the hubbies or children that want to join in. Although I suspect the kids are usually bored listening to all of the adults chit chat!
Shadowczrn - you have the BEST reason not to be there!!!
Once the location is determined it would be good if it was posted under "Events" and then we can do rsvps, most restaurants are going to want a head count of sorts before the lunch. If there is a place that has a separate area or enclosed room - it makes for a nice gathering spot because then we can really visit with everyone.
See y'all soon!
I will not be able to make it on Nov.12th. We will still be in GL for our son's PIR!
Have fun ladies!
