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 am sitting here at my desk, thinking back on this day in 2001 when our Country was attacked. My heart still goes out to all the families of those who lost members of their families and friends. May this NEVER happen again. Please take a minute or two out of your busy day to say a special prayer for all who lost their lives on that day and our Military men and women that have died protecting us while serving our Country.

Sorry I couldn't join you ladies today. It is always a good time with other Navy Moms around food. I have been busy packing up everything in my kitchen as next Monday the remodel project starts. Hopefully the next gathering I will make, and can bring pictures of our new kitchen .
