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."

Pittsburgh Get Together
I would love to set up a Get Together for the area. I am thinking about the Cranberry Twp area because it is where the major highways cross. I-79 and the turnpike both have exits here.
I would like to hear from anyone interested in meeting up sometime in August. Any and all ideas are welcome.
The Get Together is now planned for August 27th at Monte Cello's on Rt 19 in Cranberry Twp. I'll post directions from north and south, this weekend.
Directions. From the north. Take I-79 south to the Cranberry (RT 228) exit. Take west exit to RT 19. Rt 19 is the first right turn, so stay in the far right lane and turn right (going north). At the 3rd light, turn left onto Brandt. The shopping center is on your left. Monte Cello's
From the south on the Turnpike. Take Cranberry exit and follow signs to Rt 19 north. At the 5th light (not counting the light at the exit) , turn left at Brandt. The shopping center is on your left.
From the south on I-79. Take the 2nd Cranberry exit, the right hand exit onto RT 228. Turn left onto Rt 228 going west. At the 2nd light, turn right onto Rt 19. At the third light turn left on to Brandt. The shopping center in on your left.
If anyone has any questions about these directions please let me know.

OMG Kelly! what a GREAT idea :)
Like the last time we were in Pgh, we stayed in a motel with a bunch of guys from the USS Requin that were having a reunion....THEY WERE awesome and boy, did they know how to "party" for Older gents!! :)
We all went to a Pirate game on Thurs, Bars, poolside, etc. on Sat & Sun!!! AWESOME weekend!!!
Anyway...not saying that I'm a real party animal in my "old" age....but I would LOVE to hang out & have fun poolside with fruity drinks and conversation with my "fellow" Navy Moms!! (and families)! COUNT ME IN!!!

How does Sat, Aug. 20th sound. I need to be able to find a restaurant that can give a small group some place where we can all be together. So, here are the choices. Italian, chinese buffet and Quaker Steak and Lube. If none of those work for us, I can keep looking.
If anyone knows a Mom or Moms in Ohio, please invite them. We are only about half an hour from the Ohio border. Well, now I need your input before I start to post the numbers of those who are planning to come.
