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."

Today started out good then went south this afternoon. Ryan is still saying very mean things I found out. Then my dad called to say my gread aunt who turned 106 on Sept 2 died. This women's mind was as sharp as it ever was. If you could have seen her you'd have thought she was 80. Up until a few years ago she was still doing some type of needle work. She will be missed.

Hello my N4M friends,
So glad that I went today it was good to laugh and be with friends. Nice to meet Kathy, Hortensia and Marlene. Thank you so much for the note cards. Seems so many in the group are crafty. Donna you will never live down the "car issue" OMG!! Kyle said thanks for the candy. He ate his & mine (big pig.) Janet from what Kim was saying sounds like you have raised a very nice boy. Be proud. Sorry you're going to miss the parade next weekend. Janice I'm up for a Magarita any time. I'm going to have to get a small album for Ryan's pictures. I'm I bad or what I never have pictures of my kids on me.
Have a good evening.

I don't know if I should go tomorrow not sure I can handle it. You all are upbeat about your kids etc and Ryan just broke my heart. I can hardly see through the tears to type. My husband talked to him a few minutes last night and told Ryan how hurt I was that he never calls. Ryan's response was "I'm so far away I don't care who I hurt" OMG!! I don't understand this attitutde of his. Our entire family has alway been so supportive of him. The only one he has any contact with (daily) is the GF. I guess he's made a choice and all he wants is her and not his family. I don't know how to break this new to everyone or if I even can.
God help me deal.

Hey Sheila welcome back I've missed your super long updates. LOL
Not much happening with me today. Taking son to get his hair cut then need to find a part so he can fix the lawnmower. AHH This is uncharted territory for us so hope he can do it. It's only a minor clip thing, but with my luck it will be more than that. Otherwise I need to call sears and that will cost $$.
Janice did you see that there is a bead show @ the Big E.. Nov 1 10-6 www.beadfiesta.com for info.
