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."

I wanted to share this idea. When my son was deployed months after his daughter was born, I made a cardboard baby book on a metal ring with pictures of her dad on each page. I put contact paper over each page so my new granddaughter could put it in her mouth and look at her dad. It was a favorite toy of hers.

Happy Holidays! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on my page. I need new glitter pens, does anyone have a favorite brand?

Hi @PKM - I'm a scrapbooker. DS has been in the Navy for 4.5 years now and I'm only about a year behind on his album. I make cards also - lately I've been making them for nursing home residents

Hi. If there are any scrappers out there, let me know. I'd like to share tips and tricks with other paper Hoarders!

Anyone else scrapbook or make cards?
I finally made my scrap room. It is very nice to have a place that I can shut the door and leave projects in mid point. I do keep finding that I rearrange things way too often. Does anyone else do that?
I started my own memory book about my son and his wife, as they go on their journey in the Navy.

Discovered that the local art museum is very glad to get any scraping stickers, paper, cut outs or other stuff I have too much of. They use it for make and takes.

Hugged my son one last time before he and his wife head to Virginia for schooling. So sad I'm going to miss them,, so excited for their new adventure, so PROUD of their courage to serve.
Making a scrapbook of their Navy life with help keep them close.

A moment to remember all who have served and are currently serving in our Military. God Bless them all!

Had to move my scrapbook area, AGAIN! Getting new windows and I had to get it away from the window. I am finding that I really need to see what I have and then I am more likely to use it.
