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."

That would be good Darsete. I know there is a couple of restaurants there and they added a few kiddie rides. I haven't been there in a little while.
As soon as we have more Moms sign up we will take a vote on what location would be a good place to meet.
We want to be fair to all and switch out on locations...oops, gotta go now!!

Thanks Lisa G, the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine is another good place to meet.
In Anaheim area there is Downtown Disney, The Block in Orange.
In Corona, Tom's Farm..
Tom's Farm might be a good location for one mom coming up from north SD. Just take the 15 north all the way up.

Thanks tricia1031 but we also did that for the first one. :-)

I've heard of the group BeLikeTheMoon but never attended yet. Sounds like fun for the 4th but normally don't go out anywhere. I'll let you know sometime later. Thanks.

Welcome to all new Moms!!
Who would like to plan the next Get Together?
Yes, we should go ahead and plan one.
Just as long it's a central location for everybody.
We did have the last one in Los Angeles area near the coast and I thought maybe we should switch out every other turn and plan something more inland next time.
The location doesn't matter to me I'll go in whatever direction it might be at.
We could start a new LINK Up Above for the Second Meet n Greet to find out where everybody would be coming from before we decide on the location.

I haven't heard anything from Jaye. Can anybody contact her? Do you all think it might be okay to go ahead and plan an event? It's time for another get together!

If you need help just let me know and I'll help.

We had a great turn out back on March 1st! We met at a restaurant in Long Beach area. There is a photo up above under First Meet and Greet link. The mom who was to plan the next one probably got too busy and may have forgotten about planning the next one. I know there is quite a few of us who would like to plan another get together. We need to plan a central location since we are all spread out. There are some who live more inland from the coast. Hope we all can arrange something real soon.

I missed the last one and would love to get together with everyone. I don't know where everyone met last time but if it was North then maybe south this time or vice versa. What kind of turnout did they have last time? We could plan off that.
