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."

Good to know about -  "Moms Club of Portsmouth/Western Branch" on meetup.com.  Link:  http://www.meetup.com/PortsmouthMomsClub/  Here's a screenshot...next event is August 1.

From the website:  "We are MOMS Club of Portsmouth/Western Branch and North Suffolk. We are a branch of the International MOMS Club®, a non-profit organization for at-home mothers including stay-at-home as well as working moms. The MOMS Club exists to give you the opportunity to share activities with other mothers and children. It’s a fantastic way to meet people for yourself and for your children! We get together for activities in our neighborhood, play dates in our homes, having picnics at local parks, book club, and much more. We also have events just for the ladies, like moms night-out, movies, dinner, and anything else that sounds fun. There is no obligation to come to any particular event, but the more involved you are the more you benefit from the group!

Our chapter has a Monthly General Meeting while enjoying good food, activities for the children, and a guest speaker on occasion. Other activities include:

Park and Beach DaysPlaydatesMoms Night Out/InHoliday PartiesCoffee BreakBook ClubSwap MeetMuseum, Zoo, Bounce House, and Farm OutingsVarious charity events throughout the year 

If you are interested in joining the group there is a $20 annual membership fee, and once you join you will gain access to our MOMS Club Private Facebook Page and information about members-only events."

Can anyone tell me anything about Norwich Manor in Norfolk Crossing?  We are moving to the area and don't know much about it.  Any info would be a big help!

Does anyone know how long the check in process is for a hospital corpsman that has just arrived? Trying to see when my fiancé can take leave. I heard he can't ask for persmission until he finishes the check in process.

I live in Hampton it is sort of removed from navy life but still close! I live in Trail Creek Townhomes it is a gated community with a gym pool business center and laundry facilities if you don't want.to rent a washer dryer for your home. It is very close to just about everything you need! Plus right around the corner from Langley AFB as well
