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."

The “cloudy” situation.
Hmmm…well here is my little cloud that I had when going to PIR:
Okay…not really, but it’s almost as cute as that:
This boy is my bud…especially when DH was gone. He goes everywhere with me…weather permitting.
He’s my working dog…sheep…and I couldn’t get by without him!
His one major downfall? Seperation Anxiety. He’s a mommas boy!
Or
…vice versa? It’s both!
This is the dog that walks in my “blind spot”.
“Where is Kep?”
“Mom…he’s right behind you?”
Turn, turn to the left…quick right…HA…caught you…there he is!
He’s been known to follow me into the port-a-potty…I know TMI.
So we’re on the plane…and I say for the umpteenth time, “Keppie has such bad separation anxiety…I hope he’s okay.”
Fireteam2 says, “WHO has such bad separation anxiety?!”
Where’s the emergency door?…yeah might need to let SOMEONE off early! LOL
He’s right though! I settled after that! Still missed him, but had so much fun with the two-legged creatures!
FTLW…out.
***************************************************************************************************
I lost this beautiful boy on January 24th, 2015. Just two months shy of his 15th birthday. He'll live in my heart always...which is the best place to bury a good dog.
"That'll Do Kep, That'll Do."
Left, Left, Right, About Face, Left..... where are you?
