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."

They are inducing Britt tomorrow morning. Hoping it goes quick and easy from there! This past week has been a long one for her.

J was given the ok to come home in January for a visit! YEAH! Among the other things we'll do while he's here is have him checked out by a DR here for his feet/legs and the staph infection. I can't wait to see his handsome face and have him meet his new little niece!

I'll update later...but know that you all are seldom far from my thoughts and prayers. BE BLESSED TODAY!

Comment by barbara10/08 on November 29, 2011 at 1:55am: Well, it's Tuesday here now so it can start getting better now:)

Hope Connor is ok, poor baby. I always hated when mine got shots.

Funny you should mention scratch offs- hubby & I were shopping today & he stops at a lottery machine. I bought two $1.00 tickets & he bought one.   I said, Oh shoot, I should have let you go first-the third one always wins! Sure enough, he won $20. lol.

Jeffiner, love the game idea of passing the mystery bag during the reading of the story. It sounds like a lot of fun.

T-Lynn, how nice your son let you know he was thinking of you and wishing you were all together in New Orleans.   That is one nice sailor :)

Val- wow, 25 IS a lot of employees to buy for!    Wish I could add to the ideas, can only think of the homemade chocolates. Not hard and not too expensive.

I was disappointed to see I missed a Hallmark movie Sunday- anyone get to see it? I just love the commercials too. My favorite Christmas one was the one with the puppies.

Really gotta get to bed-don't know how it got to be so late!

Comment by jeffiner-desert-wind on November 29, 2011 at 12:34am: Keep your eyes straight lol you need to see where you are going so don't you go getting hurt or tripping over Shark or someone....like don't add to our Monday.
Poor Josie our corgie looks so pathetic with a big orange co-flex bandage on her short little leg. I should add some blue to be in the BSU colors. ;)
