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."

thank for the info, Simply.
On a similar note, my uncle is going on an Honor Flight next weekend--WWII vets get to fly to Washington DC to see the WWII memorial and other sites for the day---and our family is going to be at the "Welcome Home" at the airport. I'm sure there won't be a dry eye in the house.
I wanted to wish all of my new found Wisconsin Navy Moms the most wonderful Mother's Day...our houses may be a little more empty this day, but our hearts are no less full. Keep your chin up. I am blessed to know such a bunch of supportive and kind people. thank you ~ Linda

Mary, I've attached the article from the Milwaukee Journal below. Yes, my family was also so very disappointed! We knew nothing about this event, until a friend of that is a WWI reenactor told us about it.
If any of you go, please stop by the WWI base & talk to Rob L. He will get you SO EXCITED about history, it is amazing!!! He really should have been a teacher!! Also if anyone likes to read history, he does have a few published books, e-mail me & I will pass along his info. :)

By the way if any of you are interested. There is an amazing event coming up the first weekend in June, a weekend of ALL MILITARY. It is called Reclaiming Our Heritage; it is on the VA grounds in Milwaukee, right behind Miller Park. There will be reenacters there from Revolutionary War to Present/current serving. On Saturday morning there is an amazing parade that is almost completely military & last year there was even 900 companys from RTC Great Lakes, that my son got to talk to before he went in. :) It is free & will happen rain or shine; but this is the last year of this event. :( Here is the website.

Sorry, I have not been on much lately. Things are starting to get a little crazy here, with our vow renewal coming up!!! Great News: 1 week from today my son will be heading for home on leave!!!! Happy belated Mother's Day!!! A late gift I will gladly take!!! :)
Yes, God Bless our Navy Seals & all our Military!!! As far as a M&G, Point or Rapids would work for me too. Just give me the date, I will do my best to make it. We are looking at spending some time in MD in July, with our son. But if I'm home I will come.

Kris, thanks for do this. I'd be willing to drive anywhere in the state...I'm just north of Milwaukee. Mid July sounds great.

Hello, I'd be willing to try & arrange a meet & greet for us WI moms. Last time the talk was to meet in Madison...is this still the best option for people? Otherwise we could pick a spot in the state that would be about the same driving distance for almost everyone. How long would people want to be together - afternoon & evening, etc? I think we need to set a date & go from there - then people can plan. Middle of July? Please give me some firm ideas & I'll go from there. thank you
