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."

we have another girl! No name yet.

Ohio is back to it's normal spring.  Rain, ice pellets and snow all within 6 hours and then 82 the next day!  a couple rainy days in the low 50's and this morning 33 with snow and now hail. 

Allergies are running rapid!  Spring colds and sinus infections...

Hoping to get Tahlia for the whole week of Memorial Day!!!!  Still waiting on her Dad to decide.  Daughter is heading to London for work. Beyond Excited but Hubby keeps warning, Joe has a habit of changing his mind at the last minute just to make things difficult. :( 

I TOLD Daughter give him a deadline.  She responded he's aloud once a month, but we shouldn't have to wait all month to see what he does! MAKE a schedule! If he takes her for this week tho, it counts as 1 of his summer visits.... UGGG, Now we wait and see. 

Gotta run, at work and phone won't stop ringing!

This was my hubby’s gun cabinet that was no longer in use.  I painted it, got new glass cut and whaaalaah, I now have a quilt storage cabinet.  Most of these quilts are my Moms, with the exception of a couple that were my Grandmother’s and one that my Great-Grandmother pieced for me.   Some of these are older than I am.   I am so happy that these are displayed and no longer in closets.
