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. I have been MIA at the hospital with my grandma she is 84 and my Mom needs help lots. She is in begining stages of demintia. I love the names. Triad Moms or CNC. I got a phone call finally from my Son. :-) Yeah... I am pretty flexible so whatever date works for everyone is good for me too.

Triad Moms is great!

I like Triad Moms. I was thinking of that before I saw your comment, Mary. We include the greater Triad area, but it's short and to the point. Any other suggestions?

Chris, I am out of the area, but what about Triad Moms, or CNC (Central NC) Moms, or Rockin Moms? lol

Adam'sPM, Mary, Christa, battlebuddy, beachbum ,motheroftwo-I see Wilmington area Moms use SE NC NFSD title for their get togethers. Can anyone think of a catchy name so we can distinguish our get togethers as well? Seems like a great idea?

Adam'sPM- Any of these is fantastic, so excited to meet everyone!

Hi all, the next SE NC Navy Family Support Dinner is Friday, March 15th, 6:30 at the Olive Garden on Market Street in Wilmington.
Let me know if you are able to make this event! Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

I think all those dates work for me.

So how about March 30th or April 13th or 20th?
Christa, battlebuddy, beachbum, motheroftwo (and anybody else who's interested): What works for you?
