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."

I'll have to look it up on the web, it sounds so funny. Who would care if the doc uses your fat for his car? I know he can have all of mine....lol

Kathy, what was he charged with? Wouldn't fat be considered medical waste? (can you tell I was in the legal system for years?)

I faced the scale this morning, 5 lbs. lighter than I was December 1st. It's going to be a great year!

I found out tonight that they will be announcing the 2009 cities and dates for the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk.
I will post them as soon as I know and any other details.
Once we know the cities, we will decide where Navy Moms will walk. I will being doing two next year if we get a team of Navy moms.

That 15 feel off accidently when I banned anything with sugar in the house. I still need the motivation to be more active. I sit too much.

Oh, thank you Joyce and Kathy!! I so much need this support. I have such a hard time motivating myself to excercise!! I promised myself when Matt left for BC, I would get off my duff and so far I've lost 15 lbs, with at least, okay, at least a WHOLE BUNCH more to go....lol
