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."

Hi Ladies and Welcome.
Congrats on your sons completing BC . Jump in with asking questions and sharing good times. ONe thing to share with your sons - make sure when they receive any type of orders at GL that theri $$# matches. Example - told to go to the dentist. etc. The reason if there is another sailor with the last name. mix ups can happen. Have a good evening. And thank you Donna for your kind thoughts for my Mom TLynn

Hey I just saw a new message - right below the Add a Comment area. It says: Stop Following ..." Could someone explain that to me? Is it new or has it always been there? Oh Maureen - I agree with you - very emotional day and ceremony. But I felt it was respectful.

Ditto Donna !!!!!!

Now I have questions: There was an excellent profile of the First Lady giving repsect and I say it's a girl and she is due in April. What you think? Tlynn

Hi ladies,
How many watched the memorial at Ft. Hood? It was very nice and my eyes are still swollen from crying. I really teared when a family member would kiss a picture of their lost one and then too when a fellow wounded soldier gave the final salute. It was nice to see respect given. TLynn

Yes Donna and Smokey Kwarts - wondering - did they pass?
Oh - Good Morning :)
Have to ask all of you now: Was watching TV this morning and a news station was interviewing Home Depot. Topic was Christmas lights. So a question came up around the breakfast table. When is it the right time to put up those lights? Ideas: A. When the weather permits? B. Over Thanksgivng vacation when you have relatives visiting and they are trapped and have to help out?
C. The males of the household do it the day after Thanksgiving and the females take the money and start and finish the Christmas shoppiong?
Answers please. Have a good day Tlynn
