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."

I hope Shark doesn't get jealous of frog and tortise with an attitude.
Anti-M I am only 40 miles up the road from Jackpot...Four Jacks has the best prime rib!
Poor puppy! We always worry obout ours when they sneak in the garbage this time of the year. My little corgi just rippes her claw off chasing one of our cats. Had to put her in the bath tub-she was bleeding so badly. Cleaned and rnsed her up and got her bandaged then clean the white carpet. Oxy clean works.

Comment by T-Lynn on November 28, 2011 at 11:59pm: Bleeding? From where he was given the shot?

Eggs in mac and cheese - new to me too

Comment by Anti M on November 28, 2011 at 8:11pm: I've been smacking my head against the wall with some of the GFs who think they are smarter than the Navy when it comes to liberty rules. Sometimes you just have to walk away for a while, yeah.

Soup and loved ones sound great. Have a relaxing evening and a restful night!

I just paid a guy to look at the furnace and clean the flame sensor. Now I know how to do it myself!

Lol we have all been there and go back from time to time @ least I do.....Patience....they will figure it out AND still come here to cry to us on occasion, Just like I do... but thats why we are ALL here :) I LOVE this group of Moms !!!!! Thanks to all of you for being here for me !!!

Comment by Anti M on November 28, 2011 at 7:39pm: Blondie, we rarely play the lottery, but if hubby is in Idaho and has time, he spends a buck or two for giggles. We won $3 once. Woohoo!!!! The money goes to the schools, so that isn't so bad. We call it the bad math tax, because some folks sink a lot of money into tickets!

Comment by jeffiner-desert-wind on November 28, 2011 at 7:20pm: A cool game with mystery bags like from the dollar tree would be reading the "noght before christmas" pass tbw bags right for every time christmas is said and pass to the left everytime st nck is said. You can use any christmas story just make sure there are a couple words repeated through the story. The more repeated the more fun!

Comment by T-Lynn on November 28, 2011 at 2:08pm: Had to share this too. This is my older son's head set for broadcasting. Note the design. Still a kid at heart :)
