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 camenae on March 10, 2011 at 9:29pm: Ruth, there is a wealth of knowledge online. Google scrapbooking basics. That's what I did when I first started.

Comment by ruth on March 10, 2011 at 8:27pm: I have a hobby lobby and a michaels so I will go check them out.

Comment by ruth on March 10, 2011 at 8:25pm: hello, ladies. I just joined. I am thinking of making a navy scapbook for my son. I want to start when he was in boot camp and go forward on all of his journeys. we have went to several ports to visit him and I would like to make pages for each trip. I have never made a scrap book so I am green .

Comment by Scrappy1(Carol) on March 6, 2011 at 8:25am: Hello Ladies. My son just went to A school at GL. My friend and I scrapped for many years but due to health issues with my husband I have been doing online books. I am ready to get back to the real world of scrapping, just went and got my Navy album at Hobby Lobby. I miss creating real albums. The funny thing is most people who meet me think "scrappy" is because of my personality. Well, that could be true too!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 24, 2011 at 2:27pm: I have used both the purple cow (heated) and the xyron (not heated) I love them both but I think if I had to choose the Xyron would win because I use the adhesive cartridge a lot for my scrapbooking business.

Comment by camenae on February 24, 2011 at 1:12pm: I don't have a laminating machine. I'm just starting to get back into scrapbooking so I need to replenish my supplies. I'll have to look into the laminating machine you have. Sounds like a great product!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 24, 2011 at 11:37am: I have a purple cow laminating machine and I have never had anything turn black. That scares me :-( If you have a Xyron you can buy laminating cartridges for it and it doesn't use heat so it would probably work great. I just got the new Xyron Creatopia YAY, early birthday present. I am so excited to use it. It does adhesive or laminating to pages up to 12" wide. You can get all kinds of cartridges for it including magnet and fabric adhesive. Plus you can get die cuts and border cutters for it. It is very cool :-)

Comment by camenae on February 23, 2011 at 5:28pm: That's good to know! Thanks for the info! :)

Comment by camenae on February 22, 2011 at 7:20pm: Hobby Lobby is an AWESOME store! If you go on their website, they have an online coupon that you can print out. This coupon is not advertised on their weekly sale flyer. You MUST print it out and bring it to the store in order for them to use the discount. Also, you can find their new weekly sales ad every Sunday. Michael's also works this way.
