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."

Splash...remember this Roasted Pear is in Brooklyn Park, not Apple Valley! Wouldn't want you to go to the wrong one! If you are planning to attend, please make sure that you RSVP to the Discussion above.
Carol...As far as I know, they are going to try to seat us in that private section just to the right when you come in!!

I am glad you are explaining the mice thing because I thought you were talking about mice in the restaurant. I was seriously wondering why you all wanted to go back...!
I am hoping to come this weekend.

Carol...It is so nice that you have to explain the "mice" thing so many times. LOL But if the ladies weren't at the luncheon last month, they have no idea what it was all about. Way too many laughs and chuckles while we were having lunch!!! LOL Aren't you glad you didn't mention rats or snakes?? LOL

Sorry that you won't be able to come, MN Mom...
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year...and a wonderful time with the wedding. It is such a special time!
(And again, the Roasted Pear does not have mice...it was outside in a parking lot ...and in my garage...)

Sorry I won't be able to make it up there. Things are really busy here with my Minnesota Sno Flakes, and the fast approaching Jan wedding date for my sailor and his beautiful bride. Maybe when all settles down after Jan 1 I can get to a gathering again. Facebook.. Minnesota Moms of Sailors has a Jan date picked out too I think. I've been to the Roasted Pear in Apple Valley some time back that was a really nice place with good food and also NO mice....Have fun ladies.
