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."

Good morning ladies,
had not been here in a couple of days, getting so close to PIR that our group is really active right now. Thanks for the welcome. I could use a donut and some coffee right about now. I don't have alot of hobbies right now. So used to doing things with my boys. When I get home from work, I grab my notebook, and log on. I have been known to catch up while blow drying my hair, cooking , eating etc. i kep this site open at work, in the background of course, and also have it on my phone! What would I do without my support group? I am so blessed to have found all of you. I am from Texas. Thanks for the warm welcome. My boys are GNG for goose creek

Hello, my name is Bonnie, and I AM an addict. My addiction began in August as I said "see u in October" to my sons. Yes, 2 sons. I have neglected almost everyone and everything due to N4M. I don't want help, I am not ready to give up this vice. Maybe when they retire from the navy.
