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 Marianne, I don't know, but it is some kind of virus that just hangs on! Kimmy has not been herself for almost a week, and today she doesn't want to come for dinner (Sunday tradition), so we are going to stop by and visit her, I am a little worried, since 2 years ago she ended up with pneumonia and a dvt, and things were really touch and go, she was in an induced coma for a week!
I can not wait for summer!!!! Have you heard from Cheryl? Last time I heard from her she was kind of down.

Trish, that is great! I bet Heather is beside herself!! Enjoy!!!!

Welcome Sue! Trish our fingers are crossed for you all! The seals are out on the rocks but you can see them from the State Pier.
Marianne, Blue Shutters is beautiful! Have a great time in Cali.!bring the warm weather back with you!
Hi Cheryl, got Kimmy's package today, it will cheer her up, she has a respiratory virus. Thanks.

Hi Marianne, which beach do you go to in R.I.? I walked at East Matunuck, we have harbor seals at the State Dock at Jerusalem, they are so cute!!

Thanks Trish, we are keeping our fingers crossed too! Glad to hear everyone had a great Valentines day!
We had a great valentines day , we went to Captain Jacks with our best friends for dinner Sat. Night, and then back to our house for desert and a card game(the four of us are addicted to a card game called "spite and malice")
I made chocolate covered strawberries, and Anthony did some Italian cream pastries, of course plenty of wine and candy!!! Probably will have candy left until next Valentines day!!
Hope we can get together soon.
