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."

Today and always I am Thankful that so many choose to give themselves freely to our country in order to protect the freedom of not only their own families but the freedom of complete strangers as well. I am blessed to have two Sailors, my daughter and son-in-law who have made this choice and I love them with all my heart and soul. But I also love all of you and your families who have chosen to protect us as well. Thank you so much for your service to our country whether you are a military service member, retired service member, veteran, or family who stands behind them. God Bless you all and Happy Veterans Day. Lora
My Sailors <3

Thinking about all our moms who have sailors in Norfolk...earthquakes and hurricanes...yikes! My sailor doesn't check into the base until lst week in October. Knowing him, he is probably sorry he is missing out on all the hoopla! Prayers for safety!

you all must be on F.B., it's been awhile since I've seen anyone on here.
Jessica:
Love this, I've had chills since reading and that little boy of yours is as cute as a button.
Kim:
My niece is in Virginia Beach and she is coming this week to visit I will ask her and give you a call, her B.F is a firefighter on the base so I can probably get some good places for them to take a look at......
My son is in Japan right now and we have only spoken a couple of times, going out today to get a web cam to put on my computer, my other son has a MAC that we used to skype but I can't figure it out to do on my own.....we just returned from visiting some family in Montana, wow what beautiful country and it's got my husband athinking.......
Hope to see some comments here soon

The FB One yr ONLINE REUNION member list is up to 26 now. IF you want to be added for our online get together for Sat July 23 and Sun July 24th INBOX message me here and I will see about getting you connected there.
The name of our FB group is "Sisterhood of the Oreo Sash Queens" but you wont be able to find it as its a 'secret group" so thats why you must be invited by an existing member. Hope you can make it! And if you cant make those dates DONT WORRY, the page will remain as a place for us to use whenever any of us have time. There is the feature of a board (sort of like here) AND a chat we were can all chat at once (for only OUR members) or even used if someone who are already FB friends on personal pages can chat in private if you like one on one, so there are lots of different features available.
