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."

Maybe u could try again..... Packing Party in February. It's on the 15th and 16th this year... Lots of Navy Mons come from out of state for the event. Just a thought. Or maybe someother time......... Dana is ahead of the Packing party in Largo Florida. I would like to get together with some of the moms if they would like to meet.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas & Happy New Year. Did any of you get to meet up in November? My work was very busy and just could not make it on the days everyone had planned to meet.

Any one going to the Orlando Packing Party on April 14? They have not said where it is being held at yet. I sent her a message to ask her personally if they have a place yet. Just wanted to know if anyone was interested to ride up with me. I'm thinking about going maybe......
Dana do u know anything about how big it is or where it is being held at?
