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."

Praying for your Mom.
Never heard that you catch a falling leaf for Halloween. The way they've been coming down it should be no problem if the rain hasn't wiped them all out.
And yes, give your Mom another birthday hug from me. I do miss my Mom.

Hi ladies :).
I'll be off for a couple of days. Busy with Halloween and Mom's 89 Birthday - which is on Halloween. But today Mom test results came back and she does has cancer in the uterus. It is a non agressive type and she is seeing a speicalist on November the 4th.. Then Mom will know how she will receive help in getting rid of this cancer. She is doing fine. And I am busy with crank duty - pies - cakes - cookies. Some friends are coming tomorrow to celebrate. EVeryone Celelbrate too it's Halloween!
Catch a falling Autumn leaf on Halloween. If you do - prosperity will come to your home all year long. :) Good Luck and Happy Halloween. Tlynn
