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."

My husband, daughter and I will be there....along with my SR's girlfriend who is coming with us.
The Meet & Greet is a lot of fun. A great opportunity to meet everyone, and it's very casual/laid back atmosphere. Babies and Grandparents will be there- very family oriented. There are alcoholic beverages for those who may "need one" :)
We are decorating our door (SRs GF and sister have that project to keep them busy) but we are staying at Candlewood Suites in Waukegan. Our son will be flying out, so only hours with him :(
Getting excited now and feel like I need to get busy :)

Please tell me I am not the only one who is having a hard time keeping track of everyone.....I know it's the names we use on this site. I feel like I am forgetting so easily, and probably repeating myself to some of you, so my apologies. I am on the FB PIR groups as well, so makes it even more confusing for me. I know we will have name tags at the Meet & Greet, so could we maybe put our "Navy 4 Moms" names on those also? LOL. How are we ever going to know who is who? I think it's quite comical. Maybe we should all wear a neon yellow scarf or something ? LOL Something to easily identify ourselves from the rest of the group who isn't on here.

I was wondering the sme thing Nuke&SnipesMom. I just joined the Facebook PIR group yesterday so maybe we could all connect that way somehow. I like the yellow scarf idea.
