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."

Hi
I'm not going to live this down, am I?
Ok fine. New call sign: " Naked here" or "Naked Flamingo" Now I have to find a new picture.
Oh Blondie - so close for a hug. Wow. And now that's an idea. Navy Pam Mom - sorry: "Naked Navy Pan Mom" meet up at Gettysburg. Oh I can just see this meet up. Especially everyone reading our T-Shirts and wondering just what branch of the Navy we are.
Glad everyone is laughing - that is the BEST medicine.
Hey, Kim I have already been sending Reiki Energy your families way. Now I will add the details. Had a feeling Monday night. Please keep us posted. Hugs
Ok Drama - its your turn. So new refrigerator make it in? Did your cats have strange expressions on their faces, because of how you were dressed or NOT? You know I have a hard time believing pets would have strange looks on their faces. They have been around us so long - they know us and would just ignore us. But Drama, we do want to know.
Granddaughter has had her first - total - toddler tantrum. I mean - screaming until she turned red - fist shaking - stomping and standing in her chair screaming "No No NO !" It lasted a full 5 minutes. When she stood up in her chair - it still being her high chair - I naturally being a Yaya - took her gentle down. Well, she in turned stepped - HARD - on my bladder! You guessed it. I have showered - doing laundry and now I am staying in my area. going to put on the TV or read something and eat the chocolate chip cookies Emma and I baked today.
Believe it or not - its in the low 60's here. Its as if Spring stopped and Summer doesn't want to come and its Autumn.
Ladies - enjoy your evening.. hugs

Thanks for the prayers everyone. The MRI showed that it was a stroke and not a tumor. The neurologist came in briefly and said that she was waiting on more results (echo on heart and arteries) to find out what caused it. An hour later, the nurse said he was released to go home. What?!? Release paper said to call GP and make followup appointment with neurologist in a month. It is a small local hospital. I am calling today to get a copy of the MRI, phoning GP and seeing if we can get a 2nd opinion from a more major stroke hospital.
I do love the laughs on here. It is the best medicine when feeling stressed.

The T-shirt should read Naked Pan Moms.
I live 1 hr and 22 minutes from Hershey. You all have to tell me if/when you are going1
Blondie, you took 270 north from D.C. and hung a right at Frederick, MD to take 15 north to Gettysburg. 15 north and hang a right at Harrisburg on to Hershey. My youngest lives in Frederick close to that intersection. I believe Maggs lives about 30 minutes east of that area. Gettysburg was the only Japan moms meet.
Please say a prayer for my husband. I just got home from the hospital. I took him to emergency and they are keeping him overnight. The CT Scan shows a mass in his brain with swelling. MRI will be tomorrow morning. I know the drill from my sons brain cancer.
