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."

Hi moms!
chi'sMom and I had a nice lunch this past Sat. in Garner! Let's plan on having another lunch in the Raleigh/Cary/Garner area in July, sometime after the 4th!
Any suggestions on when and where?

Hi chi's Mom,
I'm sorry that I am just now seeing your note. Yes, let's go ahead and eat this Saturday and I like the idea of moms getting together monthly. Let's send private messages on Navy 4 Moms about the details of where and when.

I would love to but I will be at the beach this weekend. My husband and I are renewing our wedding vows the week of the 4th and I am going down this week to make final preps. You ladies don't wait on me! I can catch a lunch or dinner with you all another day. Maybe we could make it a monthly thing or quarterly.

chi's Mom, I am interested in meeting at a restaurant in Garner this coming Sat. I am just waiting to hear back from AMESteelesMom to see if she could join in also.
