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."

Comment by Blondie on March 17, 2017 at 8:31am: Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers-
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours-
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

Comment by Blondie on March 17, 2017 at 8:30am: Morning Ladies, We have been having the most gorgeous Sunsets and Sunrises! Do to all the moisture in the air. We are finally above 20 and wind chills above zero. Some areas are predicted to hit 36 today! Which sounds like a good thing at first but no . Means are snow is changing to sleet then rain, and tonight when it cools off again, back to snow and repeat for the next 5 days. YUCK!

Today is the first day this week I didn’t wear my snow pants and parka although maybe I should have??? I have to tell you either because I am old(er) or fatter it’s harder to get into those things! My snow pants are the bib type I’m wore out just getting into them, then having to bend over to put on boots and zip up pant legs….Ugg add the scarf, ear muffs, jacked, ski gloves….I can hardly move! Knew you all needed a laugh!

Blondie Jr. had a ruff day Wednesday, OB couldn’t get a heartbeat. So off to another 4D Ultra Sound and they could watch the heart beat and blood flow….140 beats be min. never did get to hear it tho. So yesterday was a waiting day again, waiting on high risk doctor to view tests and get back with her. Storm is 2 weeks behind in development because of the ruff pregnancy so they all decided to wait it out. (Heavy Sigh from me) Mama just wants to get in that van and GO! She is finally beginning to eat anything in sight so they’re hoping by waiting Storm will grow and catch up.

So still on Baby Watch here. This sucks!!! Our nephew is lead part in the school musical but scared to buy tickets and plan on going, it opens March 24th. Too scared to go see other children in case she’d call and we’d need to go. I told hubby just pack van and we could leave from Akron, Columbus…wouldn’t matter. But he said what about the food we’re taking them (freezer meat…) and other things would freeze! So I spend my free time re-packing. LOL they have gone from the 80’s to 30’s with snow to now. So…what do I pack?! Had summer clothes and Easter dress packed now packing winter clothes and dress boots…so I have sandals, flip-flops, tennis shoes, dress shoes, cowboy boots and dress boots! In every color you can imagine! Then shaws/wraps, raincoat, sweatshirts, flannels, winter coat(?) next???? I told Joe it looks like we’re moving in but I Promise we’ll leave….when you ask us too. Bahahaha

Well ladies as usual work sucks, can’t get computer system to come up. Main computer tells me there is NO HARD DRIVE (yes in caps) I’ve ran every search and recovery that I know how. So looks like a long day 

Hope you all have a Fantastic Friday. HUGS
