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."

Hello all New Jersey members!

A few of us that are in the Philadelphia area are going to have lunch on Saturday October 5th at 1:00 PM in King of Prussia at

Bahama Breeze

320 Goddard Blvd

King of Prussia, PA 19406

Phone number for the restaurant is 610-491-9822 if anyone wants any other info.

If you are in the area or just feel like heading to King of Prussia for a shopping spree, please join us! the more the merrier

They do not take reservations but I called and spoke with them and we can call that morning and give them a head count so they can be ready. So kindly respond here or message me so I can call with a good number. Please let any other Navy Moms you might know who may want to join but aren't on here.

We are a fun group and would love for you to join us!

Comment by 2xMilitaryMom on September 25, 2013 at 10:34am: Thank you beans7469. We are suppose to leave Wednesday night and drive thru the night. We hope to get to our hotel mid-afternoon and rest. We also want to go to a meet & greet Thursday night.

Comment by beans7469 on September 25, 2013 at 10:11am: i drove home from PIR 8/2012. It did take 13 hours, that was with about 4 short stops( 10-20 mins). But, my fiance was driving a little over the speed limit. :/ We flew out, then rented a car upon arrival and drove it back to NJ. The rates for renting are higher to only go one way. If you take your own vehicle and don't mind long rides, I think you will be fine. And, of course, PIR is worth every minute and dollar spent! It is amazing!!!! Enjoy!

Comment by 2xMilitaryMom on September 25, 2013 at 9:27am: Has anyone from south jersey driven to PIR. How long is the drive? I mapped it out on Google maps, it says 13 hours but my mother-in-law is telling me it will take us 16 hours.

Comment by JerseyPeach on September 23, 2013 at 3:47pm: Hey there ladies!

We actually have an active group on Facebook.....and we would love for you to join!
