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 can meet this Saturday/June 21 for lunch. We can meet at a chain restaurant like Chili's at White Oak. Or there is a Mom and PoP Greek restarant off Timber Drive that has excellent food too. http://www.alexanderscuisine.com/
I am open for anything that is decided by all.

Just let me know. I am available on Saturdays, Sundays - Days. Mon, Tues, Thurs - Evenings. I will be out of town the week of the 4th. How exciting! My son has been in for almost 4 years and I have never done a meet-up with other moms. Looking forward to it!

Hi chi's Mom and AMESteelesMom,
We could meet at a restaurant in Garner? Would y'all be interested in that?

I live in Garner as well. My son is an AME2 with the VAW-126 based in Norfolk., He just returned not too long ago from a 9 month deployment on the Truman. I don't get to post much but read posts through email. I'd love for all that could meet, to do so!

I am in the triangle area and would love to meet! Live in Garner and work in Raleigh near Cary. My daughter is stationed on the USS John C Stennis out in Bremerton, WA.
