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."

News from here, My lyme disease is active and I have mono, no wonder I'm so tires. Fibro is acting up, could be the lyme, stress or weather, who knows! I've gotten into mold somewhere ….my kidneys are not at 100% but improving, my heart is staying steady. My potassium has improved :) But I'm still a hot mess! LOL I still plan on flying next Saturday, we shall see.

Belated Happy Birthday JayDee and to your sailor daughter as well!
Loving the cooler fall type weather here, we've actually had days in the 70's! Hey Spyder, are you still in WA? Bet you loved getting out of the heat during the last days of summer!
No pirate ship in my front yard again this year my friends (I'm having Halloween withdrawls lol). Instead I'm starting to pack my suitcase and prepare for the birth of our grandson!!!
Happy October everyone!
