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."

Was it snowing again in Texas?
Heh--I'm in no big hurry as I have not even taken my sewing machine in for it's tune up yet--that takes at least a week depending up when the technician gets to my favorite Bernina store! Plus, I have New Year's resolutions to prepare (yeh, right!)
Love ya! -

A Bernina is a TOP of the line machine!! If you don't learn how to use it - SEND it to me!!!
I am sewing on a 30 year old Kenmore that I bought from Sears with my first income tax check!! -

NO one gets my Bernina--no matter how much I love you!!!!! I got a used one that at the time still had a 14 year warranty--someone bought it new, used it one year, and then traded up. Haven't had it cleaned and tires rotated tho for 2 years--and if I am going to get back to sewing every week, that needs to be done.

I have a Pfaff and would not trade it for anything! I heard that Bernina owners are the same!

I have patterns for dinosaur hats. They're really cute. I got a dixie cup when my son did PIR in April 2006 and I do wear it sometimes. I have a picture of me in it and will add it, when I can figure out how to do that.
Brenda Sue, I want that pattern too. Do the sailors wear under their helmets? -
