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."

There is a Naval and Marine Reserve Training Center on Amnicola Highway in Chattanooga. There is also a Coast Guard boat docked near the Chickamauga Dam. The Tennessee River winds through town. There is even a Junior Cadet Navy program that meets at the Reserve Training Center which I checked out for my teenage sons. -

That is the same week as the Riverbend Festival in Chattanooga. Will the flight simulator be at Riverbend-seems like it was last year? If these things are at Riverbend then people will need a pin to get in-won't they? Also if coming from out of town, hotels can get crowded during that week but its a lot of fun and there are many activities going on down at the river front.

Navy week is not the same as Fleet week, there will not be Blue Angels nor will there be ships...darn. But the Navy band will be playing as part of the Riverbend Festival on both Saturday and Sunday. In talking with the LT that is coordinating the details, Navy week in more of an outreach event and there are not alot of public outings planned. They are more hands on - please go to navyweeks.org for more specifics.
HOWEVER...the MCPON Rick West will be in Chattanooga and has invited the families to join him for dinner on Thursday, June 11th @ 6 pm. Dinner will be in Chattanooga and we would love to see as many of you as possible. It is important that we have a head count for planning purposes, please go to "EVENTS" and let us know if you will be able to come for dinner and how many will be with you. I will be driving in from North Atlanta and hope to bring a few of the GA moms with me. -
