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."

I am so excited to see you all the 20th!
moms and dads and brothers and sisters and friends and whoever...sorry no pets this time...will work on a 'bark and sniff' for next summer...
this is what got me going-http://navyformoms.ning.com/group/connecticut-navy-moms/forum/topic...
because my Sailor said he didnt need a care package (he is in C school) and I just wanted to put a smile on a Sailors face...if you are interested in bringing a donation to send on to the Connecticut packing party that is great! I will bring boxes to pack - if you have a things already to go and didnt know where to send them ---
Here's the address to send your donation. They must be received by Oct 28 since the packing will be on November 2nd.
National Association of Naval Veterans Port 5,

I have been thinking about our get together and not many places can accommodate 20 guests. I know Denneys could. Does this sound ok? Or there is a really big Chinese place that could...I can think of a couple more places if these are not favorable to all :)

Anyone in Western New York? (more west of Syracuse and Rochester)... More like the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area?

My son left for boot camp from Syracuse last Thursday. Just received my KIB, and it had three other names that traveled with him to boot camp. Anybody else's child fly out that day?

Thank you all so much for wanting to meet!
