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."

Barnstable. It would be great for the three if us to go together. Let's definitely make it a plan, Nauset Mom.

Navymomx2 that would be great to share a ride- where does Kathy live?

Hello, ladies! Sorry I have been so absent lately. Going nuts between working and trying to get it together to head to Chicago for my sons PIR on Wednesday, July 3! It's crazy because he still hasn't received his orders for A school, and probably won't until the day before PIR, so I don't know how long I need my hotel for, travel plans aren't confirmed...nothing! Taking deep breaths and just focusing on getting us to Waukegan safely and on time. Just keep swimming!
Anyways, ranting complete, I would LOVE to get together with you all on 8/31. My nest will be empty by then, as my youngest, my daughter will be leaving for Great Lakes on 8/20. Also, I am inviting another mom into our group who is new to N4M. Kathy is also from Cape Cod and her son is also set to PIR on 7/3. Hopefully, she and I can ride up together.
NausetMom: do you want to ride with me as well?
Talk to you all after I return from IL. Cheers!

Hi Ellen and welcome! I'm happy to meet you. Of course, you absolutely are included in this group ... no need to worry about that. I can't believe you are from N. Attleboro, I'm from Plainville - just a couple of miles from the town line.
Maybe we can travel to Johanna's together? I'll send you a friend request so that we can exchange phone #s and email addys in a private setting as opposed to an open site.
Really looking forward to meeting you!!

Hi Folks, I'm new to the Mass group. I would love to meet with you. It would be a short ride up 495 from North Attleboro. I guess we've made national news lately!!!I'd be more than happy to make a dessert or anything you may need. I hope I can be included in the group. Thanks so much. Ellen
