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."

My son wants to try to get on one of those boarding teams, too. He just wants to do anything exciting, translation dangerous....he won't be happy until he's doing something he thinks is exciting!
April 2nd is this weekend already!

Marybeth...I will be going to Tampa/Largo also! there are quite a few moms from the Tampa area that say they are attending and some or maybe just one is driving up from Miami. I do know that Dana has been in touch with Holiday Inn suites and got a Military rate, if anyone is thinking of coming and does NOT want to make that drive in one day!..I plan on spending the weekend over there with Molly & Dana and doing some NAVY mom "partying" after the packing party! (wink wink) so we are planning some FUN outside packing boxes, So we would LOVE for everyone to join us! Are you up for some "partying"??? Jackie I do know life is a bit insane, I for one totally understand were you are at! ....
hope to see you all!
love to you Jackie! xooxox

NAS is out on the Westside--I am not familiar with what restaurants are out there. There's alot out there, though....he shouldn't have a problem finding something good! Dave & Busters is fun, but not close by.
