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."

Thanks for the suggestons Kathleen & Ramona, good ones. I especially like that "self-help" idea...makes it sound so "normal!" LauraE, I'm sure the T-shirts come in infant sizes too. LOL. Congrats on the upcoming babe!

Hello, I've been a member for a while but have been getting my 'fix' from my other 8 groups. They're pretty quiet now, so here I am. Going back to the sleeping theme, I bought my son a loft bed when he was about 5 and the first night he slept in it he fell off of it onto the floor and didn't wake up! Hint of being a sailor in the future, I'm thinking! I check the site at least every hour I'm near a computer and can get away with it LOL

You know you are addicted to N4Ms when you're at work and trying to fill the monitor with your body so anyone walking by can't see you while you skulk around seeing if anyone else is online....I'm just saying...

Does anyone know how you can bring up a screen with ALL of your groups showing at one time? I think that's the answer to our problem! I'm soooo glad I found you all.

My hubby eats pretty basic and I don't have to fix a plate for him tonite since he's getting in late and up early again. Right now I should be taking care of his lunch for tomorrow. Dinner is in the frig and all I have to do is put it on a plate and nuke it when he comes home. Anyway, I have been on here enough today but maybe peek in a little later when hubby is asleep. :-)
