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."

Tallmama....We figures something was wrong when you didn't show. Hope your headace is better.
Yea, the busy boy was cute. He couldn't get over that we were a bunch of mom's with kids in the Navy and non of us knew each other than the common bond of the Navy. He thought was pretty cool.

Oh, man, now I'm even more upset with myself for missing this great event! Cute bus boy and look at these lovely ladies. It looks like you guys had a blast -- and I missed pastries. Darned that migraine headache I had on Sunday. I hope I can meet all of you some time soon. I'm off to PIR in a few weeks, and I hope to have pictures and stories to share. I think the next meet and greet is the same weekend I'm in Chicago, so I'll miss you guys there, too. Have a wonderful week all of you.

Just got home - we missed a few faces (and wish mine looked better in these photos). Thank you for picking such a great place Paymaster. I hope that more can join us - and sorry for those that we missed. Thank you Donna for posting the pictures. We are expecting rain tomorrow so now I have to help the one man remodel crew put everything under tarps (stove, trash compactor, dishwasher). YIPEE - it will be well worth the work when the floor is in place :-} ~~s
