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
Welcome tnmom50. Hope you find a another mom with sailor at that base soon. If you have any questions - ask. Usually one of us have an answer. All our sailors go through many of the same situations.
blondie, i remember my mom telling stories of sisters helping each other with hair washing and using home made soap too. Yup - daughter like mom. How wonderful. Sending positive thoughts their way for all to work out well and safe.
Weather - 50 today !!!! Wow - BUT what wind! 50 mph winds and on the news was many videos of overturned semis. I don't think anyone was hurt - just frustrated they turned over on their sides.
Other than that my Grandson is running circles around me. He has just learned to open teh backdoor! AND the lilttle chair he liked to sit in - well, he learned it is a great way to climb up onto the TV table and touch the TV screen. I am no longer going gray- I am going shocking white!
Wish all a fun - happy - weekend hugs

anyone sailor in atsugi

We are having a strange up and down weather pattern, from cold enough for snow to near 60! High winds right now, kept me awake all night, the big trees across the street "talk" in the wind.
Blondie, glad your arm is improving. Do you like ginger tea? It really helps my joints.
I think I am healing, but I am annoyed I can only shower now and then, because if my appliance gets wet, it falls off, can't have that. I have long hair and it only gets washed every four days. The beauty school I went to closed, so I have to find a new place to get it trimmed and washed. Bah.

Hi just checking. I have seen no chatter. So I was wondering if anyone was talking or if again - I am not receiving messages.

HI
Happy Heart Day all
Welcome aboard LisaG :). Your sailor wll enjoy Sasebo. My sailor did. So much to do too. So glad AntiM and Kim were on to share information with you. And yes, please take you ID along to teh airport. Your sailor can ask for a pass for you so you can sit with him at eh gate. It is so nice to have that extra time. One question - does your sailor have his civilain pass port? If not - help him get one. YES, it is a good idea that he has one. It will enable him to travel in countries when on leave and to get home if there is an emergency. Keep us posted when he arrives there We all like to send positive thoughts for a safe adn fun voyage to Japan.
KIm - you over did again. Sorry you are ill. We JUST got over being contagious here. Hope you can take it easy and heal quickly. would love to see some pic of you sweet grandson. He must be growing.
It is snowing today, but by Friday it will be 54. I believe we are starting that roller coaster ride of "Spring is Coming" to back to Winter saying " No Way! ".
Need to get along. I have to write a small critic of a scouting event I was at on Saturday. Wish all sweet dreams hugs
