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."

Back on January 14th I had written that the "Everybody's Birthday" was going to be on April 21st. It is still on! I was going to write it up on the Discussion Forum tomorrow, but I guess I better write it up today!! Sounds as though we might have a small group! Cozy....we should get a lot of catching up done!! I plan on having it at Perkins in Roseville. Hope that works out.

Are we still doing April 21st "Everybody's Birthday?" I know there's a group on facebook getting together that day also but I'd go to this since I knew about this first.

Let's try March 3rd or the 10th. One of those should work for somebody!! Hopefully everyone will be done with the flu and the horrible cold that has been going 'round. Had mine, so I am good to go!! Never been so sick in years.

Haven't been on here in awhile again. Glad to see I didn't miss a lunch get together. Should we try for something before the 4/21??

ok, JJ will do. FYI - there is a get together this Saturday January 20 at 2:00 p.m. at the Green Mill in Shoreview. This is another military group that has all branches but a LOT of Navy moms if you're (or anyone else reading this) is interested. I did go to a gathering of theirs last fall and most of the moms were Navy with a couple of Army and Air Force as well.
Anyone reading this, let me know if you are interested. They would like a number to get a general idea for a reservation.

I am keeping my schedule W I D E open! Just let me know so I can make arrangements for someone to be here with my mom. Judy remember that Everybody's Birthday is coming up in April. It will be on the 21st, so keep that date open. No excuse for not attending since now you know what day it is!! I think it is the 6th Annual (or is it the 7th?) LOL
