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, NCNarrator. Did you see below that we're planning a get-together at the Lanada Rd. IHOP in Greensboro (near Wendover & I-40)? Looks like it will be at 11:00 am on Saturday, March 30th. Hope you can join us!
Everyone, I just noticed last night that that will be Easter weekend. It's not a problem for me, but I hope it doesn't interfere with others' plans.
percussionvalentine, at least the days are getting a little longer, and Daylight-Saving Time starts in a couple of weeks, so by the 30th we'll have a little more daylight for driving at the end of the day, thank goodness!

NCNarrator, So sorry for your son. Push ups almost caused my son to be put on hold at GL. He kept coming up 1 or 2 short every time. A couple of the guys in his division really kept after him though so he actually got his requirement plus 4 extra. I think that is the hard part of his job is sitting behind a desk 8-14 hrs a day now...sooo out of shape! lol
I'm getting psyched to meet everyone. Have a good day!

Hi everyone! I haven't been on in a while - my job schedule is a little crazy. My son missed Phasing up to Phase II by one pushup. He's disappointed, and exhausted since he's doing extra PT to get ready to try it again.
What's everyone else up to?

11 works for me as well.

11:00 am is good for me, too. Is everybody else okay with that?

percussionvalentine, a time has not been set yet, 11:00am sounds ok for me too. This time I will bring my tablet and show you pics my DIL has taken in Japan and the next time you can show pictures from the more southern area of the island.

The official street address is 1101 Lanada Rd, Greensboro. You can get to it from Wendover or Stanley Rd.
What time suits everyone? Either before or after the lunchtime rush would probably be best.

lol Chris. I was kind of hoping that once I got near Wendover, my GPS would just pick it up for me. :-) A time would be very helpful since I will be driving about an hour and a half.

March 30, what time? and would you please post the address of the IHOP? With my luck, there are two and I will show up at the wrong one! So excited

battlebuddy, sorry about your grandma, but hurray! you heard from your son!
March 30 sounds good. Did I read that IHOP in GSO is on Wendover?
