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."

Netta, I don't know if you remember me, but I was in the quilting group a few years ago. . I was off N4M's for awhile because my kids started having babies, and then I went to go on one day, only to find out that my profile had been deleted. I recently joined back on. How is your business doing, are you still at it.? I do quite a bit of sewing...mostly placemats, aprons. Haven't done a craft fair in a few years. the local mall has a store where you can put your crafts, and you only have to volunteer 4 days a month. I am trying to get stuff done for that. My sewing room looks like a disaster.. (hubby's opinion).. . and according to him, my stuff is spread out between my sewing room, his Computer room( yeah , right.. his sewing/embroidery machine is in there and I sew in there, thinking I'd keep him company). and our bedroom. Right now we are sleeping on the futon in the living room and his computer inhabits the rest of the room. so who is spread out here? I have 4 or 5 machines. .. 2 Necchi, a Janome which I also quilt on, a Brother/White embroidery machine, and my Baby Lock serger. He has a Husqvarna embroidery machine that also sews and quilts too. but right now its just set up for embroidery. He keeps saying we have these projects for Halloween we need to get done, but where is he? either working, sleeping or on his computer. I also have a GO cutter. well gotta go do something productive...like tackle my room. talk soon.. Nita
