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."

Thanks for sharing yet another lovely photo, Catherine. I am not doing anything special but I 'm sure my new sailor son will be finding all kinds of fun things to do this weekend--hope he doesn't go overboard having too much fun though. He just PIR'd last week--yikes

Relaxing. Rick and I are just looking forward to three days together. Sometimes just hanging out at the house, grilling, napping, catching a few movies on the tube is better than anything!
I hope you have a great holiday weekend too.

Sounds like fun. When we were kids in NJ, Bruce used to play football in the yard (before so many organized sports) at my neighbors house. They had several boys of their own and the few of us girls pretty much grew up tomboys just to keep up with the fun. Funny thing is, I don't know that I ever knew his last name and he was famous before I knew who Bruce grew up to be! :)

I told our sailor that the kitchen would finally be done when his first 8 years were up! Honestly, he is now working on the 4th remodel of the kitchen--our son said he should have put up the cabinets with velcro. However, he has done lots of great things in our house. And, he did finish the sailor's bedroom clean up, new flooring, and painting in less than 2 weeks when sailor Andy first left for boot camp.
