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."

Hi Nor. Cal. Moms,
I have regained my sanity. I hope I don't lose it again! Lol! BunkerBee, I would like Fairwayhubby to give Chuckhuntfish a lesson in phone etiquette. We just broke up and he is already trolling Match.com for a new gf. Anyway, Chrissy is again talking initials! Lol. Is it some kinda secret code? She classed up for her next round of classes. It is just a series of hold- do a class- hold again - do another class. Hopefully she will be done w/ A school by June then onto C school. We are both on Facebook and keep in touch that way, she also texts and calls me. I talk to her more than my oldest who only lives in Sacramento.
I hope you all have a nice Hump Day.
Navy Hugss ~ Vicky

Vickie, change both the user name and profile name to vickie_rooney's mom use the underscore instead of the hyphen. Both should be the same. Print out my instructions above, so you can follow it. Let me know if you want me to help. BB

Bea, I tried to change it but it doesn't accept hyphens. So if I change it to my user name without the hyphen will it work (clearly I'm technologically challenged)! I only changed my user name because there are so many Vickie's.

The Stupid First Previous Next Last Buttons.
First - most current
Next - the NEXT most current
Previous - the PREVIOUS from Last
Last - the earliest post in time from June 2008.
So, if you want to reading from the first comment in June 2008, you go to LAST. To move forward in time, you click on PREVIOUS and read from BOTTOM UP.
To read from most current, go to FIRST, clicking NEXT will take you to earlier comments reading from TOP DOWN.
With Mozilla Firefox, I always go to the FIRST page before I close my window; otherwise, the the page may not be the most current (Thank you, BHappy).

Vickie, no place to park our car? Also, read above discussion and change your PROFILE NAME to match you USERNAME (which is your screen name).

I've missed too much here and I can't navigate the stupid next last buttons but I've stayed at the Marine's Memorial lots of times. Easiest way to get there for those with BART access is to take it to Powell Street and hike up the hill. Nice hotel and a short walk to Union Square not to mention the Cheesecake Factory!
