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."

All that matters is those two young women are on their way home to their families and not political pawns for the N Koreans! I'm sure Bill Clinton knows his name and stature did it, they just wanted someone they viewed as important showing up...even after they said his wife was frumpy!!

Oh and I posted some pictures of the dogs.. and my Army son.. just waiting for them to be approved.. I was looking at them and realized I could see his last name so I had to delete black out the last name and re-submit not sure if you can see them yet or not but they are on my page...

Barbara we were so angry when my son showed up with his pittie.. We swore the minute that kid left for basic we were re-homing her.. but then she wormed her big block head into our hearts.. LOL I was a pit o phobe.. and just knew that when we slept at night she was plotting our demise.. haha but when the day came she wasnt going.. she had earned her place in the family... she has one issue that is annoying.. she's OCD about licking but other than that she's my baby... They really have a unique personality.. and she's so tenacious I do obedience with her and we just started some agility training.. she loves working hard and I love the result.. she sleeps :)

I'm thinking of it as a doggie retirement home. And my Rosie was used to Boomer being old and more laid back, she'd be still the young dog, and more in charge. I love those old faces with the white on them, such grace and goodness. Totally house trained, no chewing up the place...and big barks for strangers.

Joni yes but I also look at it as giving him a good home for the last few years of his life.. living in a shelter is such a lonely way to die...
