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."

We're from Calif but it's always foggy and damp/cold here in the winter. We've had over a month where there's NO sun, only gray. Snow in the mountains of course, but we're in the Valley. My grandparents people are from Indiana and my Dad was from OK. All of us settled in Calif though....not so great now with the economy!! I love going to the beach, but you've never felt water as cold as the ocean in No. Cal...brrrr!

OMG! So not fair...us floridians would die to see even an inch of snow! I haven't seen any since my hubby's boot camp graduation in Great Lakes...4 years ago! It gets VERY cold down here but no winter wonderland to follow, just rain then more cold! I know some of you are like PLEASE you don't know cold...but anyone whos been here know 30 something degrees in florida is MUCH colder than 30 something degrees in the carolinas or what not. Something about our humidity! It's ok, we're always complaining about something, give it another 5 or 6 months and you'll here from your kiddos that its soooooo HOT with temperatures in the hundreds! yuk! Florida is over rated!

Privacy and decent reception was the issue with the phone, not the weather.....

That's my girl.. a Swamp Fox.. she said her next tatoo.. (rolling my eyes)

Diana, You are so right they have the warm weather where we are freezing!
-

But let's remember people.. they are in Florida so going for a walk outside to talk to us isn't so bad considering the weather..LOL. Unlike my 4 degrees..
Peggy.. yes, she is one of the "new girls". There is another new girl from Louisana, we are from Illinois/Chgo. She said that there is a pretty large group of them that are hanging around together after work. Yesterday was a bonfire hosted by, small world, a boy that is from where we live now!
I got the text yesterday of "To be standing right there, when the "helos" take off.. what a feeling."
Yep, this mom's apron no longer has strings. She is EXACTLY where she should be. :O)
