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."

Good Morning Everyone: I'm back - just running. I am working a retreat this weekend. Women's Walk to Emmaus. The Assembly was amazing 6,500 church ladies in St.Louis.
We were all SO very impressed with St.Louis - I'd go back for a family vacation. AWESOME people. I have my e-mail turned off because I'll be gone so much till August - but I will keep checking in.
Thanks for setting the place for the M&G Jody. Remember all to bring your photos, etc. I'll be at Newcastle in the am - so should be there time wise just fine. Please try to invite someone new - check with your retruiters to see if there is a new Navy mom that you can bring with you.
Paula is having family company this weekend and can't join us.
Our wee bit (Brianna - g'girl - 2) has been in and out of the hospital. Prayers please. We don't know why yet. Another doctor's apt today.
See you all Sunday. I was very happy to come home to a sunny spring day without the snow. We drove over the summit in Danny's toy car (67 MGB) with the top down. It was a fun way to come home. See you soon. ~S

Bee....Yes your right, I could have gone to HI for what I paid. But I imagine this serger will last me the rest of my life The last one a bought 19 years ago, and I sew alot, so I got my monies worth.
Now I am off to sew really cut dresses for those two darling granddaughters of mine!!! Are you jealous yet Bee?

I do not sew. But I am happy for you paymaster. I had to aske my Mom to take in my slacks for me, and when she was all done she told me that I couldn't get fat again because she wouldn't take them out. So I am gonna mind my mother. No more cookies for me.
