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

 Wow - a drunk driver again. I should not be surprised. Just wish somehow a better way could be given to punish only that person. Good to hear that liberty is restored.

Weather  is just plain weird! Saturday - so hot - I thought the sidewalk would melt. Then Sunday - so cold - I almost wanted the heat on!  today - started off cool and so nice. Even had a nice little rain. Right after the rain - it was humid in seconds and 30 minutes later the air had to go on. Nothing but dead air.

Riker had his first hair cut on Sunday. Daddy and Riker always go to the store for Sunday morning donuts. Well, a lady told Nic what a sweet little girl he has. That did it. So that afternoon - hair cut. But daddy just had to take an envelope to collect the hair.. I was hoping my dil would have posted a pic - but so far I have not seen one to share.

Yes, - got alot done - but our to do list still is a bit long. But I do feel - hubby and I will get it done before summer's end.

CONGRATS to Maggs' Hubby !!! Beating teh odds. So happy to hear the good news. Now how is Angel?

Well, I have some pics to share. Wish all a great week  hugs

Yay, that's good.

I found the official announcement.  Hopefully no one makes any mistakes or is foolish!

I got a Facebook update that the restriction to base has been lifted but not the use of alcohol. 

Comment by DREW7062 on June 7, 2016 at 1:22pm
Tytulip40- right on don't punish thousands I feel that's wrong but again just my opinion.
Comment by tytulip40 on June 7, 2016 at 10:28am

I drilled it into my son's head while growing up to be responsible, don't put yourself into situations you can not get out of, and to be aware and educated on the consequences of his actions - Anti M, you are on to something, just my opinion, but grab and address the issue at it's core, hit it head on - not punish thousands. Educate and help them.
