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."

Very funny Sheryl!! Yes, you are a bit too far west for a day trip + packing party since it would take all day to get there. Another time? Did you notice that I added my real name? People getting too confused -- am I NYPD, Proud or Donna?? lol I like your new name - a lot.

Am I too West now Proud ??? It would be standing room only but think the drive out is too far this time :) I will have to wait till SC unless John is prepared to host at the office here in Niagara ....

Anyone interested in a packing party in April?? It is probably time we start thinking about having one.
Is there someone who would like to be the hostess this time around? It is simple and easy.
How about trying to move a bit to the west? Would that be doable?

Oh, while it benefits the Red Sox Foundation it is to honor wounded servicemen and women. I guess thinking of Special Hugs and all we packed up has anything that honors them on my 'radar'!!
Did everyone who wanted to get the addy of the injured EOD Sailor to send a card get his address? If not send me an email, not a PM, and I'll get it to you.

Today I caught a commercial by the Red Sox for a "Run/Walk to Home" on either May 20 or 21. Has anyone seen it? I thought I'd like to aim to do that after my knee is replaced. Then I thought, who better than MA Navy Moms to participate!! We can do it together?! Anyone know anything or can figure out the Sox website and find this info?? I've just spent almost 30 min. and couldn't find anything. It benefits the Red Sox Foundation if that helps. Anyone, in better shape than me, interested in doing it?

My goodness Sheryl!! You have really been busy.
When I got home I found out that Matthew's deployment has been extended into June!! NOT the news I wanted to hear ... I've been "patiently" (???) waiting for the message to send no more mail and I get this crummy message instead. The only good thing is that things can and do often change!
