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 and Greet 11/4 New Info. Are you Coming??
After listening to everyone's ideas and input from recent Meet and Greets it seems like the best option for the Meet and Greet is Anastasias. The last three PIR groups have been wholly unsatisfied with the Meet and Greet at the Ramada Inn. The room is smoky, dark, and dank. The staff is rude and just no helpful. They seem to just assume the Meet and Greet will be there. When I called there to ask about details, they wouldn't even speak to me just told me how it would be and that the Meet and Greet was always held there and that N4Moms had set it up. I wanted to say, "hello wrong answer". So, in the next couple days I will be putting up information about two options either appetizers at one firm price, or order off the menu. We can decide. I think for some people who are simply watching their budget being able to come and order a drink or soft drink or dessert (lol) should be an option to consider. So let's start a discussion and I'll post addn. information.
GOSH I AM A DINGBAT SOMETIMES - 6:00 - 8:00 PM. THIS GIVES EVERYONE TIME TO GET BACK TO THEIR ROOMS AND TRY TO REST BEFORE THE BIG EVENT....UH HUH YEAH RIGHT!!!

So sorry I haven't been keeping up with this group--sounds like I might be too late to RSVP? If we can still get in, I would say "party of four" for us--if I've missed the boat, my own fault, my bad.
