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."

Sounds like a great weekend of fun - hope the weather is wonderful.
My GF's son arrive late yesterday evening.
Little Ezekiel Thomas Armstrong is here. He is 20 inces long, 6 poounds and 12.4 oz. But he is in the NICU. Not sure of all the details of why the little guy is there, but a statement of " he was inside too long", was given. SGF is confident that she will be holding him this evening and she and he be able to come home this Labor Day. :)
I still have Sue and her granddaughter in my thoughts and a candle lit.
Please keep sharing on how the situations is going.
Had something funny happen here. For the last few days I have heard this "Rap-a-Tap" sound outside my window and on the side of the hourse. Found the sound - the Woodpecker is back.. As soon as I find my bird book and the camera, I'll share whick wood pecker speicies he is.
Eveyone have a good day.
