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."

Ok for me here in Southeastern area would be great, of course anyone from anywhere iswelcome!
Let's find a date in Sept. My kids are all grown and will be gone. My Sailor is headed west as we type and his older brother took a new job in Asheville, NC and will be gone at the end of the month so no school shopping or lists. Bittersweet. I am pretty flexible on the weekends.

I am just north of Johnson Park (Armstrong right?) I am not working so it is pretty easy for me to get together just about anytime or day. To mom2nw, I would be happy to drive up to Milwaukee, I live so close most of the time I go to Miwaukee when I am out and about anyways. If you would like to private message me we can exchange phone numbers and work something out. I know I would really like this...thanks for your replies!!

I'd go for a M&G in southeastern wisconsin...I'm just north of Milwaukee. I think there is a Racine/Kenosha group on N4M.

I have not been here in a while now, but it sounds as if there are lots of meet and greets for us in the surrounding Milwaukee area. I love to get together with other moms with someone in the Navy. I am in Caledonia, which is right between Racine and Milwaukee. If anyone would like to get together even if it is just to chat...I would love to chat back...Kim

Well Ladies, as of last Friday I'm the new Navy mom of a wonderful young Sailor! Our daughter flew in from Maryland, where our son-in-law is stationed and we headed for Great Lakes to see our son’s PIR. The graduation ceremony was impressive and I went through several tissues. Lucky for us he stays at Great Lakes for A and C school. I see more trips to Chicago in our near future!
