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."

Awwww, look at that tiny face!  Darling, T!

The weather has been so warm here we did yardwork and cleaned the vehicles.  In t-shirts.  Had lunch out in the front yard.  Went for a ride up the canyon, and there was little to no snow, except up on the peaks.  This summer will be bad if this keeps up.

 I have been so busy. But I force myself to come here. LOVE the funnies !!!!

Those invites are great. So perfect for your daughter. Fingers crossed all go well for her to move in and to get those 35 pages done! Sending positive thoughts and a gentle hug to you Blondie.

Need to split. Maybe I can get on tomorrow. hugs

Mtnmom-yay! , glad you got some rain. Hope you hear from your son too.
I'm hoping to skype tomorrow with my son. For being stateside now, that kid needs to call more!

Blondie, haha, funny poem. Well, at least it's not boring (winter).  I like the invites-can't wait to see the rings.
We had a rather quiet day weather-wise; got some shopping done before the next storm tomorrow into Monday.

I maintain mine with humor: new gramma T-lynn-let the spoiling begin:))

Hi all;

ITS RAINING!!!!! ITS RAINING!!! Rain started about 10 last night, the sky is clear for the moment, but should be showers all day, and more rain until Monday, YEAH, but not enough to end the drought, darn!  

Blondie loved the snow pics and the poem.  Not much happening here.  

Haven't heard from my boy since his move in call, hopefully I'll hear from him this weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone and pray for more rain here in Central California.

Gee- no one here is counting down the days that a surprise visit is coming. ( sshhh - Yiippee !!!!)

Sorry about the bike. HOpe he gets another one soon.

So Angel is on a diet. So are you hiding the food so she can't make midnight snacks?

Oh just what we need - 6 more weeks. Hey -all 6 weeks worth arrived today!  digging out again.

Fingers crossed for new home for kids blondie. Sorry this is so chopping and i know I forgot something. Only time I had to get on. TOO much scout paper work. And research for upcoming Blue and Gold Banquet with Science theme.

I will try to get on with pics soon and more gossip Wish all a great day tomorrrow hugs

Hi all--

Wow, so much good news, Wonderful!!!

Joshsmom-I hope you can keep the secret, a picture of the surprise would be nice.

TLynn and Kim-more pictures please.

Blondie- loved the snow pictures, and cute cookie chicks.

We are expecting 3 days of rain starting on Friday, boy I hope so.  We really need all the rain and snow that God can give us.  I would love hear my season creek this year, haven't heard it in at least 2 year.

Well catch up with everyone later.
