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."

Spammers UGH!!!!
I had to take a two day Xmas vacation to see the fam. Didn't realize that in my brief absence, this lovely site would become a spam haven! Not what we want here ladies! I am feverishly banning them as quickly as I can, but if you'd like to help me catch them quicker, here's how you can help:
1) Message me as soon as you see one.
2) Make sure to include their user name, not the comments so much. Once I ban a person by name, all their comments disappear, so the name is more important.
3) Please make sure to spell the username correctly, I had several wild goose chases this evening looking for user names that were misspelled by well-intentioned moms.
I deeply appreciate any help you can give me. The site is getting too big for one person to handle! Again, I apologize for taking time off, but I'm sure you understand that I need to see my family too.
Happy New Year and Blessings to you all

Well, spammers hit popular sites. Ning (the site that hosts us) is now one of the largest sites in the world, and we are one of the most active sites on Ning so we are unfortunately going to be a target for some time. *sigh*
