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."

I have not been on in a while.  Would love to meet up. I'm in the Thumb. Ann arbor is 2 hrs from me.

Camsproudmom, welcome.  I am from the Sterling Heights area.

New to the group just wanted to say hi.
Comment by Lorraine on April 15, 2014 at 3:33pm

Let's have a meet up in Ann Arbor on Saturday April 26th. I'm leaning toward Zingerman's Roadhouse off exit 172 for a meeting place unless someone else has another preference. Do we want to meet in late morning (11) or early afternoon (1)? Regina, Colleen and I, possibly Michimom are hoping to attend. If we don't get much response from the east side, we may move it to Lansing. Let us hear from you.

Comment by Michimom (MM Nuke Mom) on April 11, 2014 at 5:35pm

I know the 19th is bad for me, but I'll check on the 26th.  I have some friends who live in Ann Arbor--I'll ask them for suggestions.

Comment by LoriM (div 337--Kevin's submom) on April 11, 2014 at 9:39am

I can't do either date.  Hopefully, another time.  A2 is about an hour from my house so not too bad for a drive. Have fun everyone who goes.

Comment by Island Mom on April 11, 2014 at 9:16am

Sorry I will be missing the get together would of enjoyed meeting some Michigan mom's..especially since I live 10 mins from A2. Moved yesterday to Canada for the summer leaving only to go to son's grad from bc on May 2. Hope you all have fun.

Comment by Regina on April 11, 2014 at 8:11am

I would be up for meeting in Ann Arbor, I can do either day.

Just let me know the time and place. 

Comment by Colleen on April 10, 2014 at 7:08pm

I'm with Lorraine, I couldn't take the UP's snow. 

Can't do the 19th - birthday weekend - going out to eat.  I'll have to see if Dunesmom can go so we can carpool on the 26th and I'll have to check my social agenda!

Comment by Lorraine on April 10, 2014 at 6:54pm

Marianne, I'm glad I live in southern Michigan in the winter. We love traveling north in the summer and plan to take several Michigan trips this year now that Dave is retired, but I don't want to see snow in April!

Well, how about Saturday April 19th or 26th for a get together? Let's try Ann Arbor - exact location to be determined. How many are willing to meet in AA?
