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."

Hi, I'm in Richmond just about in the middle of the state, so nowhere is too far. Unless it'd be up in International Falls or something. :) I'd love to go to a meet and greet. Let me know if you need help. Thanks.

Hi, I am new to this site and I am interested in "meeting" as you suggested. I think it would be wonderful to meet others that are in the area and have a family member in the Navy. Maybe a VFW or American Legion location would work out for a group get together. With the Minnesota weather, an outside location might not work out so well, unless the location had a covered area. Minnesota weather....don't you just love it? 75 one day, 40 the next!! LOL Please let me know time, place and date.

Hi all -
here is what I would like at this point. I would like your first name, your sailor's first name, and where you are located. I think the idea of a vfw or american legion would be good - just because we have to support our military.
I would also like to know if Friday night, or Saturday day, or Saturday night would work out better for everyone.
Thanks!
