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."

JANUARY gathering
January 19th at 1:pm at Poor Richards Common House UNLESS the suggestion of having a brunch that same day ( I know ther is a Perkins at the jct of 494 and France) at around 9:30-10ish would be something different we would like to try. What are your thought ?

I probably won't be able to make it this time. My oldest son's fiance invited me to go to a wedding fair with her in Mankato and it is from 10-3pm.

I'm not a morning person either. Saturday is the one day I can sleep in, so I would prefer lunch.

Dawn welcome and Congratulations to your son. The MN Navy mom gathering we are planning for Sat the 19th would be at Poor Richards Commonhouse very near the intersection of 494 and Highway 100 or Normandale. Would love to meet you there. I am hoping there will be 3 of us from Mankato area. I can get the address if you need it.

Hi Ladies, I know that Jill will ride with me from Mankato, but if no one is meeting us at Poor Richards, we could save our gas for a day when you all can meet us up there. What are your thoughts on tomorrow? Is everyone busy? Do we pick a saturday in a week or two?

I vote for picking another Saturday. We will be in Charleston from 1/25 to 2/4, but 2/9 or 2/16 works for me.

I also think a change of date would be better. I can't suggest one, but will see if the next date can work for me. Don't waste your gas girls. :)

I was thinking of probably going, but if most aren't we could do it another time.

Ok lets choose a February date. 9th or 16th or 23rd could work for me. What day is best for the rest of you ladies?
