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."

Well, I was kind of thinking between 6 and 11 years would be good ages to adopt, not babies but not so old that they are beyond reaching out to you know? And, it would have to be boys because I am a total failure at girls, but I do really well with the boys, must be from being raised with boys and being somewhat of a tomboy myself! As such, will have to stick with dogs! LOL

Hi Moms! ((((((((((Robin)))))))))) hang in there girl! Ali will be just fine!
No new news on when Devin will be getting to go back to Naples but he said they had a ping pong tournament yesterday because they had no surgeries so hopefully he will be getting back soon! He did e-mail home information on how to adopt a Hatian orphan that they were provided. Must say I would adopt in a heartbeat, the hubs, no way. I've been trying to talk him into it for at least 5 years but we differ terribly on that, I love a house full of kids, he likes a house with them all grown and on their own. It's ok when they are home to visit but he likes knowing it's only temporary. OLD FART! Guess that's what I get having married a man 10 yrs older than me! Oh well, at least I have my dogs!

LOL Robin, Stephen was on a frigate when he was in P-Cola and loved it. I bet it does look big when you are standing right next to it. Those ships are amazing to me. 300 sailors that is not bad, that is something that Stephen might like I know he does not want an aircraft carrier. Thanks for the ship lesson.

Robin, what kind of ship is that? Don't cry, it will be ok!!!! Just remember she is happy and doing great. I don't know if that help, I feel your pain. It looks like a small ship, Stephen would like a frigate, is that what it is! What a sight Robin!
Hi Carrie!
Stephen is working and taking a class I don't think he has anytime for anything but work and school. LOL Did talk to him for 5 minutes the other day, that is all the time he had, but he did call his sister so that made me happy.
