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."

Okay Ladies, I have the 24th off. So let me know who is interested in coming up to West Branch on Aug. 23 - 25. Come for the day or all weekend. We can decide on food and how many extra air mattresses we need. Shopping, paddleboat, lon walks, peace and quiet and sleeping in - what could be nicer?!

Ice cream, choc. sauce and cool whip! That's what we need. I got the sauce and can pick up ice cream & cool whip and bring it in a cooler. I'll bring butter too if Lorraine is bringing her wonderful bread.

Lorraine, I sent you a friend request so I can provide you with my phone numbers (there are three ... I know, probably overkill, but you just never know!). I'll likely not be there until some time around lunch on Saturday; am going to TRY to leave early, but that never seems to work for me! lol Besides, I'm going to try to stop at a quilt shop on the way; if I set a timer on my phone, I will stay there a very short while (15-20 minutes). If I DON'T set the timer ... well, I'll just see you ladies around dinner time! lol
So looking forward to meeting you all.

Hi everyone! As of right now I have me, Dunesmom, Lorraine & Marianne for Fri - Sun and FishingQuilter for Sat. only. Is anyone else thinking about coming? I've got the ice cream, choc. sauce and cool whip, vegs for fajitas, side dish for fajitas, Greek yogurt, butter, some snacks, water, popcorn, an entertainment selection for Fri or Sat night. Dunesmom has the chicken for fajitas, the shells and I don't know what else. Lorraine has eggs, bacon, bread and I don't know what else. Marianne has the cheese, milk, fruit, coffee and I don't know what else. FishingQuilter is bringing a chicken salad dish for Sat. Remember to bring walking shoes. I've got plenty of towels and lawn chairs. I think we are going to have great weather. You may want to pack a light jacket, just in case. Bring sun screen if you burn easily. We are on the count down! Lorraine & Marianne - I will call you Wed. or Thur. to make sure you have the correct directions. FishingQuilter, call me.
