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."

Springfield or KC are okay for meet and greet for me--1.5 hours vs 2 hours depending upon location! Now if I can fit it in my schedule...

I'm also in KC. Is there a group that meets in our area?

It's been awhile since I have been on! Hi NavyMom417! I am in Christian County. Specifically, Nixa. My son is home for a 2 week leave between A school and his first duty station. We have several moms here in Nixa and are trying to work on a M&G. We've had a few things going on the past few months have had to put it off. After Caleb leaves, I will put one together and perhaps we can meet in Springfield. Hope all you ladies have a fantastic day!

We have been quiet! No news must mean good news! How many of us are in southwest Missouri? Are there enough of us to have a get together? I'm in Barton County--south of KC ?

Hello MO. Sure is quiet here these days.
Sure has been great weather in my parts. We have missed almost all the rain. Big cracks in the yard.
Hope you, your families and Sailors are all doing great!
