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."

Pittsburgh Get Together
I would love to set up a Get Together for the area. I am thinking about the Cranberry Twp area because it is where the major highways cross. I-79 and the turnpike both have exits here.
I would like to hear from anyone interested in meeting up sometime in August. Any and all ideas are welcome.
The Get Together is now planned for August 27th at Monte Cello's on Rt 19 in Cranberry Twp. I'll post directions from north and south, this weekend.
Directions. From the north. Take I-79 south to the Cranberry (RT 228) exit. Take west exit to RT 19. Rt 19 is the first right turn, so stay in the far right lane and turn right (going north). At the 3rd light, turn left onto Brandt. The shopping center is on your left. Monte Cello's
From the south on the Turnpike. Take Cranberry exit and follow signs to Rt 19 north. At the 5th light (not counting the light at the exit) , turn left at Brandt. The shopping center is on your left.
From the south on I-79. Take the 2nd Cranberry exit, the right hand exit onto RT 228. Turn left onto Rt 228 going west. At the 2nd light, turn right onto Rt 19. At the third light turn left on to Brandt. The shopping center in on your left.
If anyone has any questions about these directions please let me know.

Yes, it is on Rt 19. It is 4 lights north of the Rt 79 and Turnpike exits. Those lights are really close together, so its not far at all.
It has good variety of food and a lot of parking. I'll post driving instructions the week before the August date.

Hi Diane....

LL - Are we all going to get messaged with the details or more to come...? Thanks ~ Mo

I will be posting all the details around the 1st of August. The restaurant wants the number of guests from me, but not until Aug. I think that way we will have a better idea of who can come. I'll also post the directions to the restaurant then. Right now I-79 has a lot of construction and I'm hoping the get it done by later this summer.

welcome to the new navy moms that had sailors just graduated from boot. i get all teary eyed when i think back to when my son was still in boot, and now hes on a short deployment, but by the grace of god i will see him on august 19.
just a heads up im kinda of a emotional person when it come to meeting other navy moms and hearing bout there sailors. so if i get to crying dont take it personally, just a warning.
