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."

yay, jesse! i'm waiting to see hunter in one, but i'll probably be waiting a while, he doesn't like the lime light. :(
hope all are doing well. expecting decent weather here this weekend, well, at least no snow in the forecast.
i work at an adult mentally handicapped facility and we are having an open house this weekend to close out the month of MRDD awareness. it's also a fundraiser, as we are in a financial crunch right now, as i'm sure lots of work places are. oh well, it's for those we serve more than anything. i thank God there are those that have that desire to work hands on with DD folk. i do mostly financial stuff.
looking forward to Resurrection Sunday!
take care, all!

Kyann - the Ohio Pumpkin Festival - looks like lots of fun! Was that HUGE pumpkin pie they showed on the clip part of the festival? YUM!!!!
Our team from Albany made it to the NCAA tournament. They played Duke - which is my sailor's favorite team. Albany lost, but it was pretty cool to see that they made it!
I need spring to come! Blue skies, sun, flowers and chirping birds :-)
Take care!

love that picture, tina! bet you are excited!
they finally got off the ship! hope they are enjoying this port!
funny thing, hunter got a letter for jury duty. i told the court that he was in the Navy, but that i would love him to have to come home for this, but the Navy might not love it as much as i. so, i just have to write a letter stating he's not able. :(
we're in for some snow if forecasts are correct. ok, i am ready for SUMMER!!! hehe never know about the weather here in ohio.
oh, for you sports followers, our ohio state buckeyes made it past the 1st round of the NCAA tournament.
and if you're interested about my hometown, or bored or whatever, there was a story on tv about our festival in october that hunter loves. anyway, i guess you can see it on www.smalltownbigdeal.com although, not sure if you can see the video. oh well, that's where i live.
have a great weekend, all!
