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."

If you an on coming definitely I need to know. If you message me ill keep you updated that way too and we can exchange email addresses. U will tell you where we meet at 9am that as we draw closer. This is a go now. Wear anything that represents military or patriotic or navy blue and white or navy Nd gold or red white and blue. Also bring poster size photo of son or daughter. Put their name. Where hometown is. And where they are stationed or deployed. If you want to contribute one bag of candy for us to pass out is great but up to you.

Ok it will be nice to meet some other parents of Navy members. I miss getting to talk to my daughter all the time and most of my friends don't understand what it is like to not be able to talk to your child everyday especially when they are underway.

Sounds good Mom27. I put you down and I'm going to send you a friend request so I can keep you updated as we draw nearer...

I am not far from Mason. I live in IN just over the OH state line. I would be able to march and be honored to.
