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."

Boy looking back over my last post - I wonder why my computer didn't put in any of the spaces!!!! Looks like I had more than a glass and a half of wine!!!!!
Thanks for the score Jean. All they say on tv here is that we lost. Not once did anyone give the score!!!!!!
Asking for prayers for Jenn again. The flight surgeon is giving her a one day waiver so she can take her final flight. She has her boards scheduled for Monday, the flight on Tuesday, and Wednesday is her certification. But both the doctor and the CO are going to be on her flight with her!!! Pray that everything works, no bad weather to cancel things, and she passes. We leave Wednesday late afternoon for CO and just hope and pray we get to see her earn her wings!!!! Then we'll deal with the health issue!!!!!

That is what I am hoping for. She will have enough for when she turns 18 to help with school or whatever she want to do.

Thanks everyone for having a drink or 2 for me. Love that you all have my back :-) it is going to be quite a year...going in on Monday at my regular time. Done trying to train her, waste of time she doesn't listen, so she is on her own. Blondie hard choice, let the girl try and do the job and have to clean up the mess. Or go on as is. Sure sounds like it may be time to do some talking with the Dr. Wish I could help.
Jean love the picture! And what an awesome idea. Hope Seattle wins a lot!
Have a good weekend everyone! Going to go for my early morning walk on the beach tomorrow. Something about the ocean that soothsayer my soul. Wish you all could join me! :-)

Anna, we won. 36 to 16. Aurora won $50. For the Seahawks winning. Plus the saving I started her. I decided that every time they win I'll put 20 dollars into a savings for her. Hopefully they have a good season.
