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 to see you on again Dawn. I think most people realized the majority of posts were mine. :)

I have three sisters. I've never had a problem hanging with ladies, and the not so ladylike too. ;)

Yup it's me!

Dan bought the Eisenhower too, and the sweater for over his peanut butters.

Carolyn, my son classes up on Monday! I will be glad. He calls me all the time. I love to hear from him, but not during class. I think he is bored, but doesn't want to admit it.
I have to admit that I have enjoyed telling him about the weather he is missing here in Texas! I'll call just to tell him that the high was 65, or 70. He just grunts and changes the conversation. High today in Great Lakes is 12.

Dawn, you win the "My minds not in the Gutter" award. I lost! I have been re-reading it several times. It is so funny! I'm going to have to share it!

Being the only redhead in a family full of blonds, I Love "Blond" jokes.
One day a blond was having trouble with her computer, so she calls tech support.
"Hello how can I help you?," the tech support woman says.
"Yes, I am having trouble getting my computer to do anything," the blond says.
"What window do you have open?"
"Are you crazy! it's freezing cold outside!"

I went to a M&G in my area this past weekend. It was so wonderful to meet other moms close to me. If anyone sees a M&G near you, I would go. I missed the one with our PIR due to the snow, so feeling cheated, I went to the one near me, and it was well worth it. I knew I was in the right parking lot when I saw a sea of cars with US Navy and Service Star Banners on the cars!
I'll post another joke for ya'll later. I have a friend who posts a lot on FB. So when one is clean enough, I'll send it to ya'll.

Here is something for all my fellow "red necks"
Billy Bob's pregnant sister was in a terrible car accident and went into a deep coma. After being in the coma for nearly six months, she wakes up and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replies, "Ma'am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine and your brother came in and named them."
The woman thinks to herself, "Oh no, not my brother... he's an idiot!" Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's name?"
"Denise," says the doctor.
The new mother says, "Wow, that's a beautiful name! I guess I was wrong about my brother. I like Denise." Then she asks, "What's the boy's name?"
"Denephew."

Rod Wifey, I agree. A good joke is good for the soul!
