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! I hope everyone has a lovely and safe holiday weekend! Whatever you may be doing (BBQ’s anyone?) I hope it’s a great one for you, your friends, and family.
So… I am going to be MIA until Wednesday. My hubby and I are celebrating our very first wedding anniversary (which falls on Tuesday). I can’t believe it’s already here!
So, you know- don’t break anything while I’m away pretty please (lol). But if strange bugs happen… (http://help.ning.com/?page_id=18). Also… if you have tech Q’s…(http://help.ning.com/)
I know you ladies (and gentlemen) can keep it civil while I’m away.(right? right!) I don’t have back up to help me approve photos, videos, etc. (Hehe- I am one woman admin show). If you happen to be on, feel free to help me greet new members! And don’t forget that dinner is in the freezer (cook for 30 minutes on 350 degrees) and the emergency numbers are by the phone (jk).
I thought I add these links for fun. (Just incase you wanted to know more about this great holiday)

Oh. I almost forgot… if you want to order your N4M swag this weekend… I got this e-mail from one of the vendors: 15% of the net sale price will be deducted when the net sale price is greater than $65 and the coupon code MEMORIALSALE is applied at checkout. For most products, the net sale price is the price of the product (excluding shipping and taxes). For Zazzle Custom Stamps, the net sale price is the difference between the price of the Zazzle Custom Stamps (excluding shipping and taxes) and the face value of the postage. Offer is valid from May 23, 2008 at 11:59am PDT through May 26, 2008 at 11:59pm PDT. This promotional offer may not combine with any other Zazzle promotional or discount offers.
Okay. I like you all. Everybody love Everybody (Pretty Please). Happy Memorial Day!
Sincerely, your admin, Catherine
