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."

Woodland had their big firework show on Saturday the 3rd....it was really a great show! We had friends over for bbq and watch the fireworks. Of course the neighborhood celebrated both nights, it was a great weekend, but I missed my son, it's his first 4th away from home but the pictures of his 4th from the ship looks like they really enjoyed the evening.

Is it really Wednesday already? Sorry I haven't posted for while, life has been kinda crazy lately (what ams I saying, it's ALWAYS CRAZY LOL). Independance Day weekend was great, got to spend it with the fam. My sailor spent it on base, bored, but this too shall pass. He's in the middle of training for Aircrew in Pensacola.
I'm really looking forward to the 10th in Roseville!! Everyone has a wonderful day. (((HUGS)))

Hey everybody: How was your fourth??? Hannasmom - how did you do? I'll bet it was awesome. The picture is awesome Donna. Whomever's they are - they get virtual hugs.
We had a good time dry camping (no showers, etc.). Owen (10 yr old g'son) caught his first trout. Very exciting. Saw a bald eagle and her next - also a hot air baloon.
I hope that you are all getting ready for the M&G in Roseville. I'm sure tah tit will be awesome. Did I miss pictures from the one in Sutter Creek? I could have because I've been flakey. I hope that everyone has a great day :-}
