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."

LOL!! That's too funny Serena! Do the same here...but on some days I will go for a long stretch on N4Ms and not getting the important stuff done. It is very addictive!

I've had my mini tree up since end of last September when my son came home on leave since he wasn't going to be here for xmas and it's been moved from the table to the top of my china cabinet and will stay up until my son is back from deployment and home on leave again sometime in the spring. After that it will be coming down. That is the longest time I've had a tree up though.

Serena, that's funny about what you mentioned about your husband. I'm on here often but I try to be careful that it doesn't interfere with anything else.
Michelle, I think I've got a few dust bunnies lurking behind the desk...LOL!!
I don't very often cook in the crockpot and I should more often. My recent favorite is my meatloaf recipe and I'll never do it in the oven again. I like cakes in the crockpot too. Other than that I've always done a roast or cooked beans in the slow cooker.
Maybe one of us should start a Slow Cooker Group? We all can share our favorite or new recipes.

My mouse has, for the first time, "earned" bare spots on it from so much usage! Have a feeling it may have to be replaced soon......
