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."

Best student he' s ever had(highest grade %) she is so Happy. LOL some things never change. She has gotten baby brain...meaning she thinks she's loosing her mind. LOL lost her keys for 2 days, they looked Everywhere and then again, I gave every idea including laundry, fridge...she found them in a coat she swears she hadn't wore for 3 years! You ask her a question and she zones out. it's quit funny

Old man Winter has come to stay. last 2 weeks, Winter Storm Advisory, then Windchill Advisory, then wind, rain, freezing, more snow...repeat. Hubby never home, lots of furnaces and wells (water freezing) my work goes either way, elderly calling off not wanting to be outside, we don't want them out! but then a lot of injuries....Dr. M's middle daughter was in and out of ER wed. they transferred her to Children's Hospital 2 hour away so it's been a mess here! But I'm holding it together. Feel so much better knowing I can get back on here!

Hugs to all. Stay safe and warm!
