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."

Checking to see who is planning to come to lunch tomorrow in Garner at 1pm?  I see one person for sure going, please let us know so we can get enough seats, ect.  Don't want to leave anyone out.  And do we want to go at 1pm or maybe noon? 

 

thanks

Is there still a group going to lunch tomorrow at 1P in Garner? Just checking.  In case there's not, I'll "force" myself to a nice Mexican lunch while I'm in the area.  ;-))

We are actually supposed to take some furniture to my son in Norfolk, if it doesn't rain.  If it does rain, I'd love to come.  Sorry I can't be more definitive than that!

Comment by chi's Mom on July 15, 2014 at 10:23am

If there is anyone here interested in meeting for lunch this coming Saturday, please let me know.  I want to get a head count to be sure there is an interest this month in meeting.  It is the summer and I know schedules are busy with vacations and such.  thanks so much everyone!

MomThatLovesHerSon sent out a invite for this coming Saturday/July 19 at 1pm for Navy Mom's to meet up.  We were thinking about the Greek Restaurant in Garner?  How many of you are planning to go? 

Comment by chi's Mom on July 2, 2014 at 8:01am

MomThatLovesHerSon, that sounds great to meet July 19th for lunch!   Hope to meet up with more Mom's soon. 

Have a happy 4th of July!

Hi NC Moms,

Let's go ahead and set a date of Sat. July 19 for lunch. How does that sound with everyone?

chi's Mom had suggested a Mom and Pop Greek restaurant in Garner off Timber drive. She shared their web address: http://www.alexanderscuisine.com/

That' sounds good to me. Does this sound good to y'all?

Comment by chi's Mom on June 25, 2014 at 7:16am

Those interested in getting together in the Raleigh area for lunch sometime in July, please comment here. I had a great time meeting MomthatlovesherSon this past Saturday.  Also, I did join the facebook page that Adam'sProudMom told us about called Navy Moms of the Carolinas.  There was a Mom on that page interested in meeting other Moms in the Raleigh area too.  Hope everyone is having a great week and looking forward to getting a date/place together for those interested to meet.  Take care!
