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."

Kayleigh and Gloria are gone from here now, but I think this applies to your friend, Yamilet Peterson. How do you know her? Has she written you something? There are many more moms that you could be friends with that are real people.
We are staying at the Navy Lodge on Thurs. night is there anyone else staying there?
And are you saying that everyone in ship 13 div 157 is a grad and go and will not be leaving until Sat.? We only booked one night may have to add another. I too have not heard anything from my son other than the quick call saying he was there and the box with the form letter. But he has a GF so we may not be his first call, or if we are it will be short.

If Your Username appears to contain your last name or your email address you may want to change it AND your web address (URL) above so they do not include your last name or your email address to keep everyone safer. See http://www.navyformoms.com/group/newmomsstophere/forum/topics/if-your-user-name-contains to tell you how to do BOTH. Blessings to you and yours.
Just want to be sure you know about Navy Week over by St Louis Union Station and to save the week of Sept 6-12. Last year the Navy band rocked and the place was packed!
