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 T-Lynn on October 4, 2014 at 10:02pm: I am now becoming an air head.

Maggs ! Again ! Ok - you know what to do:

1. using black ( black goes with all styles and is very classy looking ) electrical tape to hold toe in place for it to heal.

2. Paint toe nails to aide in healing. Usually a bright color or if your favorite sports team is playing - their colors will do.

3. Place picture of painted broken taped toe on Pan Moms :)

luv u - hugs

Comment by T-Lynn on October 4, 2014 at 9:59pm: HI

Kim !!!! OH dear friend, I did not feel you . Reiki is on its way !!!! Hold your Mojo Bag too.

usually I can feel when some things go wrong, but of late - no vibes come through. That is true for even family / friends near me. Got to find what is blocking this. Blondie - good idea will check the house.

Glad to hear:

1. New Baby coming - Great Anti M :)

2. Kim is better

3. Blondie and daughter can read each others minds - hey - picture of the dress

4. Cheryl is back to reading our gossip and her son did pack his LONG JOHNS !!!!! Other cloths will be coming :)

5. Angel's chip is fixed.

BUT !!! Will be putting out major Reiki Healing for this group. Ladies if you feel a warm hug as you rest or a gentle rub on you neck - that is the energy I am sending for what ever need you have. I will send of 7 days.

Need to split all Sweet Dreams hugs

Comment by Kim on October 4, 2014 at 11:42am: I'm still here. I had that awful respiratory illness and somehow stopped following here. It knocked me out for 3 weeks. I am better and FINALLY caught up here.

I loved all the stories and pictures. Welcome new moms.

Maggs! Seriously! You broke another toe. I don't know how you do it.

Blondie, what city is your daughters wedding? D.C. or Norfolk? I lost track.

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on October 2, 2014 at 3:54pm: Weird, I don't seem to be getting these posting on my email...But, once I got on here I had a great time reading everyone's updates - kitties, weddings, babies, scouts, oh my - you ladies certainly keep busy.

Anti M - so sorry to hear about the dark side of your weekend. Several years ago we lost a friend to the pain and still feel the empty place he left in our lives. Take care eventually you will be able to have a bittersweet smile when something beauteous reminds you of them.

As to my clothing deprived sailor - thanks for all of the advice - YES thanks to Japan Moms I made him buy long johns before he left. YES he is a big'n 6' 200 lb. Before he shipped out we had discussed with him the buying on-line option and shipping "stuff" but he still hasn't given me an APO. [Maybe because he is still waiting to deploy to his vessel, don't know] Trust me we've got some "good stuff" just waiting to be sealed up & out the door to him.

Comment by Shelly on October 1, 2014 at 1:25pm: Anti M- I am at a loss as to what to say. Just know that you are surrounded by (((hugs))). My prayers for peace to come your way soon.

Comment by Anti M on October 1, 2014 at 11:00am: Things have just been so up and down for me, one bad thing for every good thing ... a lovely wedding this weekend, but a friend commits suicide the same day. Good news about a baby on the way, and my friends have one of their friends take his life. It is pretty overwhelming. My husband has a student driver, and the student's father died unexpectedly last night. The company has routed the truck so hubby can take this poor man home.

It is a bit much.

Comment by T-Lynn on September 30, 2014 at 10:24am: HI

Oh poor Angel. Hope she turns around and bite that vet on the a$$! Scooby sounds adorable.Oh what fun - a kitty in the shower. ( that is what Daisy the puppy will do to the kids, but likes o run as the shower is going - run out and dry off in their bed - smart puppy ) yes, did you daughter check Scooby too for that chip in correctly?

Teh Geek Squad could not install ? That's a first I have ever heard. Hope your lunch was nice at least. So where are you going now for a computer?

Yippe dress shopping.I was wondering when you would get that chance Blondie. And I am not going into details about this house! Just can't seem to do things correctly to get an easy job done.

Doesn't help with family getting sick too. Hubby and I have sore throats - ear pressure and slight fevers. Both kids are home again today - both can't breath and they will hack up a lung ( sounds like that ). Hoping dil can get in to see her doc.

Hi Peachy :), drop in and share only a few words. WE love hearing how things are going. please share that your sailor gets his cake .

Ok, Have not heard from Kim - BADma - Miss ( aka One Hot Navy Mama) and several others !!!! Did I miss something that some are on vacation? sick? broke a toe or foot again?! check in - getting worried.

Wish all a great day, I need more tea so I can keep voice for scout sessions. hugs all
