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 ladies and gentlemen, all I want here is an rsvp. 

 

On the right side of this page is a calendar, go to March 17th and you will see the event....add your name and how many will be attending

 

Let me know how many in your party will be attending this. 

I will update this with more information as needed. 

 

This is courtesty to the Ramada Inn to let them know how many of us to expect.  It is not solely a N4M's M&G but for all families   It is from 6- 8 pm and you dont have to be a guest of the hotel to attend

Here is some info about the Meet and Greet:

The Ramada does the M&G regardless, they are not connected with the Navy, they just do it as a service and I’m sure for the extra income and PR.

It is the night before PIR from 6-8pm in the bar. It is free for everyone. Many PIR groups call and ask to move it to another room...the bar gets dark and loud after a while. Also, many PIR groups go to the Ramada then plan to meet elsewhere for dinner…Anastasias, Flannigans.

There will be many there who have never heard of N4M's.(gasp)

The Ramada will have heavy appetizers, 2 coupons for free drinks if you are a guest. You do not have to be a guest to attend. There will be a lady at the door filling out name tags. It is a lot of fun and a great way to start the weekend.

Many groups bring their own beverages (to save $$)

Some find the Ramada to have a smell, some weren’t happy with their room. I was there in Jan 2010 and it was fine. I had a blast at the M&G.

I'll be there. Put me down for 1 or 2, don't know for sure yet if I'm bringing anyone.
