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."

Glad you're feeling better Donna. I wish I had a big family to spend the holidays with,only 7 of us. It was so windy today my Navy flag blew off the pole. I came home from work and it was half way down the driveway. I'm all for moving south...not a snow/cold weather person either. Yup Kim, I bet the body shops just love winter. They probably pray for snow and ice. Brings in the green.

Janice I did report in yesterday. Don't send the MP after me. Poor Donna it hard being sick at the busy time of year. Try Dr. Janice's advise she must know what she's talking about. Kim, I've done some shopping already too however this year I'm not spending alot, I'm trying to be real good this year and not over do it..

Sheila, you don't need to tell us your showing your husband. Somethings should be kept private! LOL Glad to hear the house is coming together for you. It's been a long road for sure. I do remember when we had carpet put in the colder it is... the higher they put the heat. Next time I'm doing it in the summer. Hmm getting rained on is good luck. Then I have the best luck. I'll let ya know. Need to work for a few hrs this afternoon so I better go get my errands done. Have a good one

Wow don't check this site for a day and it explodes. Jancie how much coffee did you consume before you wrote that book. I can picture your finger burning up the keyboard. LOL I was exhausted just reading it Sure am glad you're back to your old self. I missed it. Your mind should be at peace for now knowing that Mikey is ok even though you didn't get to talk with him.
Marlene sounds like you had a great trip post more pictures when you can. Donna I'm still drying out from Saturday. Remind me not to get in your car if it's raining. I couln't believe that one. Hmm everytime I go out with you two I get extra wet. Gotta laugh. Not much happening in my neck of the woods. Husband was home Sat thru Wed AM and he has the week of Thanksgiving off, So that will make it 2X in one month. My daughter turned 20 yesterday (snif snif) not a teenager anymore. She'll be back next Tues for the week. So at least 4 out of 5 will be home. Are we all accounted for now Donna?

Hubby left this AM and will be again back the week of the 24th. Wow almost Thanksgiving time. He took 1 bird (the squaker) back with him and left the parakeets here since he'll be back again in a few weeks. No sense stressing them out to much. I had good intensions on doing the chocolate things for Erika, however I've been dealing with someother issues this week and won't get to it. Are we still on for Sat (fair day?)
Sheila thanks calling last night. Hope you finish the painting today.
