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."

it was not that long ago that those wall plug in smelly things were responsible for alot of house fires. I am surprised they still sell them. I like the reed thingys- but I don't own a single one. I love candles, but only burn when I am in the same room. Cant spray anything in my house, cause I am afraid of killing my parrot. Who is always coughing - not for real, just imitaing. She burps whenever my husband walks by, barks like the dogs at the doorbell. Has conversations alone when the phone rings : Hello, yea, um huh, (then alot of mumbles) then OK bye.

Tiffs, I have one more son, the oldest. I drove 2.5 hrs to be with him today and go shopping. We have most of his clothes for PIR. I think he is ready. Now I need to figure what to wear. Back home tomorrow - I mean later today.
And not so sad, yes I miss them, but so excited for their futures. I am glad they have each other there. What an opportunity.

@bonnie, I am down for that! Be right back. Tell me what safety issues are with plug ins? or are you talking about those glade things...or wick or whatev? I heard those were a hazard and a major drain on energy. That is why I have a shoe box full of them, not on my walls anymore!
