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."

FOR NAVY WEEK, WE'VE GOT SAILORS!
The AUGUST Westies Dinner occurs during Navy Week. The fleet is in, and we'll be hosting sailors. So, we'll gather at Charbono's Restaurant in Avon (charbonos.com) in their large, private dining room. Since our guests will be in uniform, let's have a one-time dress code of nice casual.
Encourage husbands and guests to come with you!
Social time: 5:30pm
Seating: 6:00pm
Also, I thought it'd be nice if each of us could pay for one sailor's meal, in addition to our own. If this is a problem, please message me privately and I will make other arrangements.
AS SOON AS YOU CAN, PLEASE RSVP BY CLICKING AUG 15 ON THE EVENT CALENDAR IN THE RIGHT-HAND COLUMN. It's most helpful to know early how many will be attending.
Thanks! k.
