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."

Hello Ladies!
Not been on in a while; that's what finishing up spring term of college and crashing a computer will do to you (let that be a lesson)!
I do intend to be at the meetup on the 3rd. I don't currently have anything on my calendar for that day, so count me in! I'll be driving down from Omer (northeast of Standish) that morning, and I'm not much of a shopper, so I'll see you all for lunch. Hope you bring your appetites!

Ladies,
I plan on coming. Are any dads going if so my husband will come, if not he will stay home.

Glad you can come! Dads are welcome. Perhaps this will spur someone else to say they're bringing their "other." The more the merrier.

If my husband doesn't have to work Saturday, I hope he will come. Slim chance he will be off, but I'm hoping...

I have been toying with meeting up with you all in Frankenmuth. I haven't been on here much since my son got home from deployment in 2010. He is deployed again (a week ago Monday they pulled out) so I decided to go out of my comfort zone and meet you guys. I will be coming down Saturday morning....I live up by Mackinaw City.

Hi, Tammy, Looking forward to meeting you. This is out of my comfort zone too as it is over 3 hours from my home, but I think we need to have some meet ups move farther north to engage more Michigan moms. See you Saturday.

Tammy - Wish I would have know. I was in the Soo last weekend. Ended having to drive my husband to Pellston to catch a flight home. If I would have known, maybe we could have met!

Oh for sure~ I work in St. Ignace and I live about 15 miles from the Pellston airport! Next time get in touch...we could do lunch at the airport or something!

I will be at DaVinci's Saturday. Looking forward to meeting everyone!
