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."

This MUST stop so we can have our packing party in SW IL on Sun. Feb 13th. I'm about ready to break out some hula music, grass skirts and leis so we can positively vibe in some sunshine and good weather. And, trust me, you do not want to see me in a grass skirt--lol

Comment by T-Lynn on February 3, 2011 at 3:11pm: Hi

Thanks - that hat is over 20 years old. It is Australian sheep and can be washed in teh washer ! It is so warm, but it does have one draw back - It is teh hat that created the term - Hat Hair.

Weather update - here itis negative 11 and windchill of negative 23. But the birds are eating at full speed and singning Spring songs - werid.

Hubby and I were back out in it this morning. City plows finaly came back to plow the street and nautrally plowed in the end of all the driveways. With the temps - the snow mounds now piled higher than my hips - froze to solid masses. So I had to break up the mounds with a digging shovel - so teh snow blower could munch away at the snow.

I'll be napping for the rest of the day

All be safe and warm and Happy Lunar or Chinese New Year :)
