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."

Hi there. We had ours on 8/26 and it was very nice I thought. We were a small group of around 50-60 and met in the lounge area. If there is going to be more than that I would suggest giving them a call to let them know so they can plan on maybe using the banquet room for more space. Have fun..it will be a blast getting to put names and faces together. We made a cheat sheet for everyone to kinda know names and we tried doing different things to help our division group stand out to find each other better like glow bracelets or certain color ribbon. Congrats to all of your upcoming Sailors and Good Luck at BS21!

Maureen - can you see all the RVSP's to the Event for this M&G on the Event page? Or can only I see it because I created it?? Lots of people have responded there (right hand column of this website). I turned off all email notifications because I'm too active on too many groups! So let me know by sending me a personal message - thanks! Sobe (Lisa)

thought I'd mention that my parents will not be there, it will just be me, if I get to come! I want to, I just get so horribly tired at night since I'm preggers, so we'll see! But I am hoping to be there, so just 1 from here, instead of 3.
