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."

Comment by Blondie on January 6, 2017 at 4:14pm: Dang it's COLD! was in the negatives, hit a high of 11 today but with the wind chill still feels like -14. Tomorrow suppose to hit 13 but tonight negatives again. Yes, I got my coveralls out, parka, boots, scarf, gloves can barely move. LOL

T-Lynn how's the Captain doing? (hehehe) di he have an injury?

Maggs, how exhausting. Know we are with you in Spirit. Hugs.

Comment by maggs on January 4, 2017 at 4:51pm: Still on this side of the pond. Sometimes things become overwhelming. We were at Hubbies Chemo, and Dr visit. His leg is swollen, so we had to go for a Doppler scan, but, thankfully, got the all clear. Came home and looked at booking my flight, as I go the funeral information. The airline I wanted has increased their fare, It was now over double the price. So I had to go with another airline. This is a no frills one. and you have to pay for everything. But it is much cheaper, and faster than the other one. I will have to leave earlier than planned, and come back later. Will miss my grandbabies birth, but have the children going with hubby to his chemo. Daughter and her Fiance set up skype, so I can be with them while the baby is on its way. Set up messenger for hubby, so he can keep in contact with me while I am away. Just need to pair down my suitcase, and try to remember I can wash clothes while I am there.

Comment by T-Lynn on January 4, 2017 at 12:26pm: HI

Love the poem !!!!!

And the prayer is cute and dear.

Good to see you Drama ! How things going for you? Any chance of hearing you are in a play?

Miss - HI :). How's things for you too?

When I can share, I do have some gossip. BUT I cannot share at all. And no - not going to be a grandma again.

Can share :):

So far,no more biting at day care or falling down and getting black eyes. Knock On Wood.

Plans are moving for his 2nd birthday - dinosaur theme.

Hubby's eye is doing some better . AS long as he remembers to wear that patch! The problem, there is a blood vessel that closed up and not supplying blood to the muscle holding the eye to move back and forth/ up and down. So now it is weak and his eye drupes down. So he sees double. He is hoping to hear from his doc for a blood test his eye doc wants. But the eye doc did say this problems heals on its own - takes three months - so looks like I have a Pirate for a hubby. Maybe I should get him to dress up as Captain Jack Sparrow. Arrk! Just remembered - he will be prepared for Pirate Day. anyone knows when that is?

I do know that today is Spaghetti Day! Darn - we had that last night.

Anyone hear from Maggs? Just wanting to hear she is doing better.

Wish all a great day hugs
