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."

All:
A Gold Olympus camera was misplaced at Homecoming. If someone discovered or discovers a camera that isn't his or her own, you are asked to immediately e-mail ussgridley@gmail.com and/or gridleyfrg@gmail.com. Please, there are irreplaceable photos on the camera from today's event! It was accidentally placed into a bag that was not the owner's bag.
Thank you so much.

Navy4Moms:
There will be a silver ink pad and a flag stamp available for N4M folks to add to their name-tag on the pier. Look for the blue FRG canopy!

I will be there on Friday morning.
Does anyone know what dock?

Reminder: If you are in-town and would like to join the FRG for the meet n' greet tomorrow(!) at 3:30 p.m. then they must receive your RSVP before 6 p.m. (Pacific Time) today!

Some photos from Tiger Cruise have been posted on the GRIDLEY's facebook page and may also be linked via the FRG Facebook profile. Looks like fun!

Yes, having ready-to-wear labels would be great. Who could print and give them to FRG in time for Friday morning?
-
-
AC: We could print out 25 of the "navy4moms" part of your file onto adhesive labels and make available at the FRG name-tag spot for folks to add-on to the standard labels the FRG would provide. What do you think?

Dear all,
this is what I think, see attachment NAVY4MOMS.doc

Dear all,
what about wearing a badge/name tag for Navy4moms members, so we can recognize each other on Friday at the dock (whatever it will be)? We might put together a simple N4M logo, print it and use one of those plastic insert (generally used at conferences). Any other ideas?

I expect that an e-mail with specifics will be released around noon on Thursday with the details of near-the-pier activities. MWNM is right, there will be some "wait time" and it will be fun to pass those last minutes with you all!
I would imagine that the FRG table would be a handy spot to stop by (of the vendors) in search of family members; usually, they have adhesive name tags available, too.
If you all would like a "N4M" spot, I'm sure that could be arranged, too. There will be a canopy with refreshments/chairs...maybe there??
