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."

Sherrill - it was such a pleasure. Casa Tina's it is. Probably in February. We will keep in touch.
Husbands is also A great idea. Mine was a little dejected and had not eaten lunch when I got home yesterday, he was in his big chair watching Pirates of the Caribbean. It is only the 4th time he has seen it. Actually, he was probably enjoying a moment alone.

That was fun - I am so glad we met so now we will get a better idea of the person we are speaking with on this site. Let's keep in touch and do it again soon, adding a few new people and changing venue each time. Maybe even breakfast and maybe family too.

This was from our lunch at the Vinoy Spa resort today for lunch. Was a fun time glad I went and meet some of the newer Navy moms. Food was good and our server was a Navy gal! That was extra special :)

To everyone going to the VINOY - please park in the undercover parking next to the hotel on the northeast side of it and take a ticket. When you come in the waitress will validate free parking for the whole day so you don't have to pay to park. I just found this out. Sorry!
