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."

OK Everyone, it is time to get some chatter going in here!!  Let's start planning a time to get together for a late lunch or early dinner.  I miss all of you and I'd love to meet the new moms, especially Navymassmomship13div313 (see below).  We are in need of some fun time!  BIG TIME!!  So who's in????

I'll start looking for a place to meet where we can order what we want and get separate checks.  Do you want to meet someplace near the Outlets or maybe the outside walking mall at Patriot Place?  Then anyone who would like to shop could meet and do that before or after.

Shall we include spouses or make this a total girls' night out (or afternoon or brunch or whatever).

Who is in?  Let's hear from some people in the next week or so!!!  Come on girls, let's get moving before summer comes and everyone goes in different directions...

Anyone interested in helping me send a MA clambake to the sailors on the USS William P. Lawrence?  We are going to have to improvise since fresh wouldn't make it.  But it could still be fun.  I'm thinking canned clam 'chowda', crackers, corn (guess it will have to be canned), and anything else we can come up with.  We are also shipping some decorations that they can use around the ship to celebrate the 4th of July.  Sun glasses, beach toys, etc.  Also postcards from MA that they can use as placecards in the galley.  Anyone want in with me??  Send me a message or just leave a comment here.  Take care everyone!

Miss you Johanna!  I hope we can get together again even though we are now missing Sheryl!!!  MAS would still like to help sponsor a homecoming for you know who.  We should talk sometime soon.  Take care girl, I know you have many adventures! :)
