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."

I got pictures and a tan to show off, so if anyone wants to come over to the Buffalo Wild Wings Grill at 1:00 in Blaine on this Saturday, I will be there along with Carol.

Good. I'm going out with my son's girlfriend tomorrow, so it may go into voice mail, but that is probably better!!

I won't be able to make this one - I'm volunteering at the humane society Whisker Whirl. Hope everyone has a good time and will try to make the next one.

I put it in my phone, hope I don't forget :)

OK...I'll be there!! Everyone is welcome to join us!!

What's this white stuff on the ground????
Yipes! I thought that we would be in the middle of Spring by the time I got back. Guess Not. I am having a bit of trouble to adjusting to the temperature here. I got used to 82 and sunny! But I had a blast with Baby Kate, Diane and Eric Robert. We did all sorts of stuff while we were there. I am very impressed with the people that surf, windsurf, and kite surf. No way you would get me to do that. I did ride on the glider plane over the mountains and ocean. That was enough excitement for this ol' gal. Would I do it again...probably!
I am thinking of going to the Buffalo Wild Wings Grill in Blaine on Saturday (the 25th) at 1:00. Anyone want to join me? Let me know. If no one wants to join me, well than I won't go either.

Everyone thank you for the prayers. They are very helpful when loved ones are in harms way.
