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."

We're going to have our next Ky Navy Mom's get-together weekend at Cumberland Falls State Park.  It is their moonbow weekend, so if we have clear skies, we'll get to view the rare moonbow at the falls.

 

We will be just 30 miles from the 1st KFC restaurant and cafe.  We could make a trip there for lunch on Saturday to tour the museaum and eat at the very first KFC!

 

Cumberland Falls is breath-taking, so I kow we'll enjoy the view there and the restaurant at the lodge has great Kentucky food. 

 

Hopefully we will be adding new Ky Navy Moms to our special tablecloth we started at our last weekend together.  Everyone should bring photos and information to share about their family member that is in the Navy.

 

Please let us know if you are attending so we'll know how many beds will be needed and so we can work out carpooling details.

Sorry, but due to the lack of interest in this get-together, I have decided to cancel our reservations.  We will not be getting together for this weekend, but hopefully we can get a lunch together planned some Saturday or Sunday later in the spring.
That's too bad, sounded like fun... another time sounds good.
