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."

Funny you should ask that NausetMom!!! Johanna & I were chatting yesterday and she has graciously offered to host a Mom lunch or dinner at her home in mid-August. Exact date and time to follow.
So, everyone what would work best - dinner, perhaps on a week evening or lunch on a Saturday?
Johanna lives off 495 south/southwest from Boston. (I can never remember if 495 runs north/south or east/west!)
We're very excited that we are going to get to be together soon and hope that you all are too!!

Hey Donna,
I am well and glad to see that you are as wonderful as ever. I have been in Upstate NY a lot this summer and will be leaving for Greece soon and then Aruba after I get back, then back to lots of tennis and then back to Europe in the fall.
Nice to see you all keeping in touch, hope I see you all soon!

@Donna, I'm home most of this week, (traveling next week) give me a call. We just had a small "Fun - Raiser last night :) Five Guys Burgers and Fries donated 15% of their sales to our organization for the night & we raffled off a set of Red Sox tickets. We had a great time!

@ Darlene, yes, yes, yes!!! Since Molly's paid the MA fee for us I think we should do something, anything to take advantage of it. Any thoughts you think we could manage? I know you travel, so give me a call when you are able.
@ EVERYONE - Back in April I thought we should plan a fun time - do lunch, or early dinner. I would still like to do this. Anyone interested?? I'll be glad to make some calls and see if I can find us a place that will give us a room for ourselves (free, of course) and we can go from there. Still want to include your husbands? (I can handle that, really. Well, I think I really can. I will give it a good Navy try!) Let's get some chatter going!
