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 Cheryl-TedsMom on March 19, 2015 at 9:40pm: Finally a night with no meetings. Mixed myself a pot of "guilty pleasure" Mac & Cheese and snuggled down on the couch with the dog. Ahhhhh

Comment by MaggieMay on March 19, 2015 at 10:44am: TLynn & Kim - your grandsons are sooooo adorable! Keep the pics coming.

I would love to see the northern lights someday - definitely don't see that in Missouri! LOL

Wishing you all a great day!!!!

Comment by Kim on March 18, 2015 at 11:15pm: Welcome new moms. Please jump in an tell us about you sailor or ask questions.

I had a scammer on the phone tonight and played along. He was trying to tell me that he had information from Microsoft about errors on my computer. I finally bailed and told him I knew it was a scam. He admitted he knew that, but he was at the end of his shift and was enjoying the call. I asked "how many people did you scam tonight" He said "4, it was a good night". I said "I would like to congratulate you but I hope you get arrested" He told me that he couldn't be arrested and proceeded to tell me about his life in India. We discussed the fraud, the feedback on google about the fraud and the pretending to be from Microsoft. Sadly, If I recorded the evidence it would not have helped the victims. But, I probably would have made a fortune selling the news. Next time I will think to record it and donate any profits to the USO.

REALLY - Blondie had a good day. I am marking the calendar :).

Hi Miss - about time you got on to gossip.

Love the funny Maggs.

I am about to sit down and do nothing. FOR REAL.

Will try to get the pics off my phone. Trying to remember how I did it.

Oh funny thing here. - remember when I told you all about the Robin that kept hitting the window at the condo ? Well, guess who arrived this morning and later this afternoon - banging on teh patio doors? That Robin ! He followed us.

Hugs all

Comment by T-Lynn on March 18, 2015 at 10:00pm: In his crib playing with his giraffe 2 months old.

Comment by Mississippi Mom on March 18, 2015 at 11:46am: Blondie, I swear I need a nap after reading your posts! LOL! You need to head South, my dear friend, and I will let you get some rest. We have had 3 beautiful days...in the lower 80's. We are suppose to get rain tonight, but hopefully I will get a little more done outside before it starts. Not much going on other than the usual stuff, but we are staying busy taking care of that.

Kim, what a cutie! I bet you sure get some sweet sugars from him.

T-Lynn, glad you are getting a day off and some rest! Looking forward to the pictures.

Welcome new "Pan Moms'!

Hope everyone is having a great "hump day"!

Comment by TapperMom on March 17, 2015 at 10:32pm: Anyone have a son/daughter in Pacific Partnership 2015? I think the ship is departing from San Diego on May 1.

Comment by T-Lynn on March 17, 2015 at 12:21pm: HI

Am I the only one exhausted just reading Blondie's days? And honestly, if we all got a message from her that her day went perfect?! - we all would not believe her.

Blondie we love you. Honestly, would LOVE to hear that you have a perfect day. I agree some gremlins must have gotten into to your computer and tagged along on moving day. Do hope they were just visitng and things go smoother for you. hugs

Kim - he IS so perfect. Love his eyes. And around here too the cats and dog are upset that mommy's lap has a new renter.

This is my first day to relax a bit. So I ran to get on here.

Will get some pics on soon. And Spring is on track to arrive on time :). Now I want to plan out my back yard. For the first time, I get to make plans and DO them.

Riker is now 2 months and is starting to stay awake longer. ANd will look at us and try to talk. Well, that is what Grandma says he is doing. But he does know hsi Grandpa's voice. they are buddys! Today I convinced my son to move the small crib to the living room. Now Riker can stretch out and enjoys being left along to look around.

And Happy St. Patrick's Day all :)

Need to go up and make sure son got the corn beef and cabbage into the crock pot. Got to have that today.

So wish all a great day and I send may hugs

OH = Hi new Mom FL. Gator. My son is state side now. But we have had moms with sons in the Marines. Hope you find someone with a sailor there. But if you need to ask questions - do so. We will try to help out had we all listen too hugs

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on March 17, 2015 at 7:53am: Kim great lit'l man pictures. Although I do see some battles for Momma's lap in the future.

Blondie - sorry about the gremlins in the machine. Hopefully you'll be able to get back to normal soon.
