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."

Oh hi everyone - I will be at the Roasted Pear JJ on the 15th. St.Cloud is just too far to drive if there is another luncheon going on in the Twin Cities. Hopefully we can resolve the issue of "double booking" as there are good reasons for some of us not to be on Facebook Navy groups. Thanks in advance for posting any get togethers on here as well.

I guess I can not read what is on Facebook since I am NOT and WILL NOT be on that site. If the Facebook people are NOT willing to post on Navy for Moms Site when they post on their site, then this matter of "double booking" will never be resolved. It should be the responsiblity of the person that posts on Facebook to post it on this site at the same time.

I think the fb has already posted a gathering for the 15th of November a little closer to St Cloud. I will double check on that.

For anyone that is on Facebook, can someone please post the Nov 15th get together there a well? I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Hope to see a lot of the Navy Moms there. Otherwise, I will be eating by myself! Please RSVP

It was a fun time with good food and visiting. Thanks JJ for posting the picture. Look for and mark your calendars for a November gathering somewhere, the 3rd Saturday of the month. We also had a little discussion as to putting together a list of what cities we are located in. I am believing for your foot to be totally healed soon JJ. It was great to see old friends, and meet new ones.

Looking forward to seeing all who can make the luncheon tomorrow at Poor Richards Commonhouse. I am bringing Kelli with me, and we need to make a stop at the Edina Art Center before lunch but still plan to be there close to 11:00.
