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."

Okay all let me tell you a funny story about Anastasias...be sure to give them a good head count because we had our meet and greet there and I am a little um shall we say ultra organized about some stuff. Anywhoo....I called them a gave them a head count and said I would have 120 and ordered cakes and the guy told me I would be lucky to have 50. In fact, he bet me my dinner that I wouldn't have that many. I said, you know I am sure my people are coming...he said thats what they all say...lol...so as the day got closer I increased my number to 151 and he said no problem. Oh it was a problem...lol we had 167 show up and they had to literally close the place to normal traffic...we fille the restaurant, the bar, the private room....everything...so except them to be a little gun shy about the count. I posted the count and people's names per division every day in the regular chat...if that helps. Have fun...Anastasia's is great and tell the manager Lynne from November said hi...he will probably faint...lol!!

Hi Proudmom,
I found your post about Anastastia's, but I think that you should make it a discussion so that others find it too. I didn't get a message, I just saw it here on the comment wall, but comments get buried easily. Just an idea. AND thanks so much for organizing!!!
