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."

Spammers UGH!!!!
I had to take a two day Xmas vacation to see the fam. Didn't realize that in my brief absence, this lovely site would become a spam haven! Not what we want here ladies! I am feverishly banning them as quickly as I can, but if you'd like to help me catch them quicker, here's how you can help:
1) Message me as soon as you see one.
2) Make sure to include their user name, not the comments so much. Once I ban a person by name, all their comments disappear, so the name is… Continue

My Cousin's O'Hare Airport Story
My trip was quite eventful getting out there. I'm surprised you hadn't heard, as Dick was having lots of fun! I made it to O'Hare with no difficulties, but my flight from there to CR was cancelled. No crew showed up (or not enough, at least) to… Continue

A Sailor's Christmas
Sailors stood watch while others were dreaming.
They lived in a crowd with racks tight and small,
in a 80-man berthing, cramped one and all.
I had come down the stack with presents to give,
And to see inside just who might perhaps live.
I looked all about, a strange sight did I see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stockings were hung, shined boots close at… Continue

Reflections of a Blackshoe
(Ret)
I like the Navy.
I like standing on the bridge wing at sunrise with salt
spray in my face and clean ocean winds whipping in from the four
quarters of the globe -the ship beneath me feeling like a living thing
as her engines drive her through the sea.
I like the sounds of the Navy - the pierc ing trill of the
boatswains pipe, the syncopated clangor of the ship's bell on… Continue

Christmas in the Navy ... The Great Christmas Road Trip
I had spent my first Christmas in the Navy in bootcamp. We did get to open cards and the chow hall served a nice feast. Pretty boring day. However, my next Christmas was in Great Lakes while I was still in A school. I was a petty officer third class by then; this is when the ET schools awarded the crow at ten weeks. I decide to fly home for Christmas. I knew my parents weren't there, Dad was still working in Saudi and… Continue

Thanksgiving at Goose Creek, Nukes
It was the usual turkey, ham, potatoes, corn, stuffing, and family creamed onions. However, to share your sailor's time was precious.
Thanks for the memories and thanks to the villas for a great place to stay.
