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."

Event Type: Special Atlanta Area Navy For Moms & Dads Dinner with RADM Michael Yurina
Organized by: Diane R
Event Description:
As part of the Atlanta Navy Week (Oct. 11-17, 2010) celebrations, we are excited to schedule a dinner for the Navy for Moms, Dads, new Recruits and their Parents with RADM Michael Yurina, and other Navy officers representing the Navy Recruting Office, a USS Georgia sailor, and a Navy Diver. This will be your opportunity to have your questions answered by a diverse panel of Navy Officers.
The dinner is set for Scalini’s Italian Restaurant and you can order off their Early Dinner Specials ($9.95 plus drinks, tax and tip) or their regular menu. The restaurant will provide individual/family checks for us.
If you plan on attending the dinner, please RSVP directly to me via email including your name and number of people attending. We are limited to 70 attendees. Also, to show how proud we are of our sons and daughters in the Navy - or soon joining the Navy - I will be putting together a slideshow of pictures of our sailors. If you’d like to have your sailor included, please attach your favorite digital (“JPG” version) picture of your sailor in uniform in the email. Also include: his/her full name and rank, current location (base or ship name) and ONE sentence describing what s/he is doing. Please make sure you provide parents’ first and last names and town/state so I can list you as “Proud Parents are...”.
I look forward to seeing you there!

Hi Becky,
You're my first official response! Please encourage anyone you can to attend (current and future parents). I have to get at least 50 (that's what I promised the restaurant) but no more than 75 (that's the max on the room). I am excited and nervous about planning this event (largest one that isn't a family gathering). I'm just sorry that Mary will be out of town that week. But, she's been quite helpful in ideas and how-tos. I really like the picture of Kyle in front of the Navy plane. He has the cutest smile! He must be really happy. See you soon.
