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."

Okay- I just talked to Rachel (who is in PR) and sweet LynnDear... They have a great spot... I think they will on soon! They just have to wait for the cameras to come around. I guess there was an earlier scan... (but I missed it!)
And the girls have already talked merideth... and yes... pat, pat was held by her. The ladies are having a blast. :D It was fun to hear Lynn Dears voice!

Joyce- I think there is a early scan of them- but I think it was around 9:30ish (when they start talking about the easy party for outside). You see them behind a segment. :) They are wearing ther N4M shirts- and holding signs of their sailors- Super cute. CC

I'm in Tucson, just watched all 3 hours, they showed the crowd quite a bit. I recognized Brenda right off, but not too sure of the others. They get the most coverage when they start the BBQ segment outdoors. Brenda and the rest of them are directly behind the hosts, and if you look carefully you can see the N4M banner. I also could see all the pictures of their sailors!! Especially Brenda, because she was in the front row and holding up two pictures!! If you recorded it, go look at that segment (I think it was in the 2nd hour). They are famous now!! We should ask for autographs!!

I know the ladies have taken a bunch... but I think most of them are still in NYC until Sat/Sun. I am sure the will post them. As for video... I dunno- I will check with my team today to see how we can get our hands on something. CC
