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."

Well the weather earlier this week was great! Even saw the first day of teh full moon on Monday - how beautiful and silver it was. Now rainy and overcast and cold! I hope it blow through for Halloween.

BLONdie - I would love a Bear Hug from him. I can see why your day was brighter when he arrived to your home. And happy be-lated anniversary!!! looking forward to you joining the computer age in your home. Yippe - more gossip.

Kim - he is so - SO - adorable!!!! Sorry to hear you are under the weather. Reiki is coming. You have to be fit as a fiddle to enjoy Halloween. Had a felling about you. Next time - let me know.

Maggs- know you are busy - but any new pictures? How are your students this year? How is the family? If you can't guess - I am BEGGING for gossip here.

Anti - M, sorry to hear about a second mortgage. But I feel better that you have a new roof. Maybe soon you can share some stories from teh Burn? Did you and your hubby help out with teh fire dancers?

Finally heard from my sailor. He was getting ready to take his Harley for a ride through the mountains. And he did send me a picture of HIM and the bike. Now I have to get it off my phone! Finally a picture of ALL of him and not just his foot.

Need to get along- Laundry Fairy is visiting.

Have a wonderful Halloween. hugs

Comment by T-Lynn on October 28, 2015 at 8:59pm: Ok so I had a little bit to much Withes Brew

Comment by T-Lynn on October 28, 2015 at 8:56pm: this just says it

Comment by Anti M on October 27, 2015 at 8:49am: Weather is finally cooling off here, we have had an extended summer. Good thing too, we have a roofer coming this week. I was hoping we could get through one more winter, but no, the roof is leaking over the kitchen. Slow leak, and the plaster ceiling "heals" itself when dried out, but won't for very much longer. Sigh. Means we had to do a second mortgage. Good rates, but debt is debt.
