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."

Meet & Greet 12/2/10
I have been asked to coordinate & help plan a Meet & Greet for families of 12/3/10 PIR sailors. Any and all input is greatly appreciated. I will be emailing my nephew who is a naval reserve officer for possible locations close to the base that we could meet at the evening before graduation. Hope to see all of you there:)

I'm hoping to get into town early enough Thursday 12/2 to attend a meet & greet. Is everybody just planning on attending the one at the Ramada, or are we doing a N4M's one?

Aggie, I'm going to contact the Ramada to find out when they need #s for the Meet & Greet there on 12/2. It would be nice if we had a good showing there from N4Ms. LaLa Ribbon Queen makes some beautiful ribbons for Navy graduates...I'll try to post a picture & info how to order them from her in a little bit.

I will be at the Ramada and would love the N4Ms to be there as well. I, of course, could head out to another location but we might just want to keep it to one location??
