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."

Hello everyone, Hey Will and Hoppi. Can you tell me if there is any truth to the rumor that they shut down the Franklin because of mold? My son said he thought the heater next to his bed had mold in it and I told him it was probably dirt built up. If it was mold it would explain his being ill for that last week he was in there. Thanks, Bill

Good nite all, hope you each stay warm and dry!
Will, thanks for being such a good sport. Honestly, any fingers I "point" at anyone, I have 4 pointing back at myself. I hold the world's record at being clumsy, so NOTHING that any of you do could top mine! Please do find rest, and sure will pray that tomorrow it will be better and work itself out. At least now you have a great excuse for sitting back and watching the sailors work on the mural some more! Sounds like it won't be 'outdoor' kind of weather anyway!

Roni....PS Chicago isn't ready for us just YET!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO~~~

Yes, I think a Scotch on the rocks will help (at least sleep better!) for tonite, it's tomorrow that I am still feeling for you, Will! Even Aspirin? Allergic to that too? You need an anti-inflammatory, as the little "Boo Boo" that Chris so eloquently put it (?!! Funny Chris!) is not so painful in the "Boo" part, its the swelling of the tissue (aka muscle) around it that is gonna be the culprit! Wait, this is also no ploy for your wife to do a little "waiting on you" is it?! She is going to be worried about you too. As for tomorrow, we have alot of willow trees done this way, they say helps alot with pain (if you place a pencil size branch between teeth and bite down...{{{Tee Hee Hee}}}

I'm ready...when will you be here, Roni???? Might be best to pick me up first, then head on down to Natalie's and on out from there???? lol lol lol If you are waiting for me to fill my jukebox, you may have a long wait. I gotta be in just the right frame of mind to do that kind of stuff.....lol
