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."

WELL DONE EVERYONE!! Congrats Lonnie and Diana. I am laughing and crying catching up on these posts!
As for the dog, I wrapped my little puppy up in a baby blanket one time and took her into Krogers and no one was the wiser except for one lady who wanted to see her face. lol
I have spent all day in a furry of baking, cleaning, washing and packing. I am wore out! I feel like its Christmas eve.
Sounds like we need a bigger bottle!
Does anyone know if we can have their dress blues lined for them? They are wool with no liner and only a tee shirt under it.
We leave at 7am tomorrow and I will hopefully see most of you ladies tomorrow night.

OMG!! I agree with Dee what a day to be offline after leaving my house at 5am this morning on my way to the airport...being stuck in an airport because something broke on the plane....my poor mother in a Chicago airport for two plus hours waiting for my plane to land and getting lost 30 miles in the wrong direction of Great Lakes BUT hey.....I made it!! I'm here! Across the street from the Ramada....lol.
Lonnie'smom & Diana- Whoo-Hoo! HooYah!! Great thing to log on and read after the start that I had today. That phone call was great, huh? Lonnie'sMom, I know the division will be glad to see him walking with them on Friday!
