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."

Carol, we got ALOT of rain w/some pea-sized hail. No really strong winds, fortunately. Funnel cloud about 2 mi from us which blew over a power pole (power out 5 hrs last night). 1 tornado 15 mi north of us & 1 unconfirmed tornado 12 mi east of us.

Angie I can meet in Bloomington, I am orginally from there. A Saturday would be fine but, I could not meet until later in the day as I work on Saturdays until 12:30. I am off on Sundays and Mondays. I work for the Secretary of State. Sue lives in Bloomington maybe she could meet with us , also there are several others in the Bloomington / Peoria area. I would need to know several weeks ahead as I go to Great Lakes often to see my son.

Angie and Pam--send me some info, figure who can be the contact person to post a discussion and the event. I can then send out a better email. Do you want one right now that just says something like "looking for Moms and familes who want to participate in a meet and greet in the Bloomington area? If so, start a discussion above so I can direct people to it.
Hugs
