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."

White Castles for Graduation?
One of our fellow moms - just pointed out they have White Castles in Chicago!! Do you think this might be considered a "really good meal" for our new sailors?!!
Seriously, we live in the South and it is a treat to go up north and have a White Castle! But what I'm really looking for is recommendations for eating out that weekend.
I hear Chicago Pizza is a must try...any others?

I thought that you were quiet today. I have my own office, and just turn off my screen inbetween patients, then if I have time, peek in NFM. Now, my office staff noticed my increase use of computer and closed doors. She walked in and said MISS LYNN, are you watching pornography?????? So I showed her My Birthday page.

I was married for 12 years before I had children. My twins were only 15 months when I was 38. How did you get so wise, so young. I am still evolving. After the hurricane Katrina, I lived in a FEMA trailer for a while with my husband and 2 youngest sons. 8 feet by 40 feet. The week our home was finished, I went out to get the newspaper , fell down the stairs and broke my back. After surgery and rehab.... kind of had time to reflect a bit.

I think I was always old in my brain. Something makes me feel like each and everyday could be it. I worked the Oklahoma bombing clean up then a large flood in grand forks nd and a couple of other disasters before I said enough. Now I can wear my heart on my sleave :)

broken back....icky...I had a small break in my neck, one of the reason's I went back to Germany for a while. I fell down 3 steps, and got put in a halo for 4 or 5 months..Try brest feeding with one of those..lol...I refused sugery as there was very little nerve damamge, a little saggy in the face, left arm weekness. When I went to Germany, we did some injections of stuff, acupuncture, and a couple of other things...and of course everything is made in nummy calcium rich cream sauce. Would never ever know it happened except for the trach scar and little spasms in my hand every now and then.

We sound like medical miracles. My first pregnancy, my son was 10lbs and cut off the blood supply in my hip. I had to have hip surgery after the c/s. I was on crutches for one year. He and I walked about 1 year later on the same week. On the 2nd delivery, I aspirated and had to be on a respiratory very briefly. On the twins my c/s incision broke open and I had to have corrective abdominal surgery, then breast feed them, then 1995, I had gangrene of the intestines and had surgery. I was doing well, until I broke my back in 2006. They did this surgery with concrete, holding the bones together that worked. I am being careful now.
Why did you go to Germany for treatment? -
