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.

Hi Kelly- Thanks. I can imagine what you are saying..I get all choked up just talking to my husband about my son's graduation...and how proud I am of him...I've always admired his character, but to know that others noticed just makes me all the more proud of him, thus emotional when I think about it....:).
Hope all goes well and you see your son on schedule. When did he graduation?

I'll be sending out more information on or about Aug 1st. The restaurant will need a number by the middle of Aug. So, I thought I'd wait for a while.

I just thought I'd check in and let you know that we are still on for Aug 27th. It looks like we will be at a restaurant called Monte Cello's in Cranberry Twp.

Monte Cello's is definitely a Mom and Pop type place. Although they have great pizza, they have a wide and varied menu to choose from. They are also very affordable. Its got a diner feel in a comfortable restaurant.
