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."

Just a quick note to let you know that Johanna is willing to host a packing party for us. October's adoption is underway already. Because of family commitments I'm not able to work on an adoption this month, if someone else wants to do it just speak up!! It is short notice, however.
I was thinking perhaps we could get involved in the November adoption which will be the Christmas adoption. Anyone have any thoughts or opinions about this?
We haven't done a Christmas one in a very long time. It might be a fun time to get together -- before Thanksgiving & the busy-ness catches us.
Please let me know who is in. Thanks.

Hi Moms!
Just wanted to let you know that this group has been on a sort of hiatus for a number of years. We mostly have been keeping connected thru FB, but we want to get our group together again.
And, to all you "previous" Moms (notice I didn't say 'older'), I hope you will decide to become active again! I've missed seeing you all very much, but I have so appreciated the support you've given me over the past 3+ years. They certainly haven't been easy; in fact, I can truthfully say they have been the hardest ever in my entire life. Not even losing my Daddy and then Mom within weeks of each other has come close to the pain of losing my husband. So thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Navy Mom,
Thanks so much for the response! Mine is still in prototype and I am just waiting it out. I appreciate the help and support, believe me. I hate the thought of him being gone. I know where he is now, so it's not so bad. That's great they will be home. I am sure it is hard for you. I am here as well. I wish we could put out there for all of us to meet somewhere and have drinks or dinner? If I make something do you think people will come?

Hi Nick's mom,
Thank you for the welcome. My oldest son is a Senior Sonar Tech stationed in WA. My youngest is a Corpsmen stationed again in NC.
