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."

Wow is this the group I need to join. I am working on 2 Navy albums one for my husband who was in for 23 years and one for my son who just joined up in Jan. I want to make my son one so when he retires in 20 years I can bring his scrapbook and show off all the places and stuff he did.

Anyone who lives in the VA Beach/Norfolk area. There is a group of us planning on meeting one day for lunch (shooting for Thursday) the last week of April. I will be there that week for spring break. We would love to meet as many other moms/families etc as possible for lunch one day. If you have a sailor or recruit in that area and they could possibly join us that would be awesome. If you are in that area and would like to join us please let me know. Send me a private message with your name and number. We will keep the time and place in private messages as well. Thanks, Lora

Hey, reds! Watch out...scrapbooking gets addictive! :)

one more thing if you can't find a Michaels coupon look for AC Moore coupon. I am pretty sure they both honor each others coupons. ;-)

New to scrapbooking.....where to begin? Reviewed some videos and basic supplie list on Google. Looking for scrapbook suggestions since I want this book to tell the story of my Sailor son's life in the Navy.....could get BIG?

Yep that's the one I wanted. Thank you, Lala! Michael's slipped my mind...

camenae- try Michaels for the Navy Scrapbook as well, I think that is the one you wanted and you can go to their website and print a coupon for 40% off. I think they have it almost every week.
