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."

Comment by Colleen yesterday

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?!

Homemade bread coming your way and a couple surprises too! See you around 5 Friday.

Lorraine, if you are going to buy stuff at the Hanes/Bali place, I have a coupon.  So wait until Saturday to shop there.

Thanks, Colleen.

Hello Ladies,

Hating myself for having to drop this quick note, but I will not be able to join you tomorrow after all.  :-(  Bah!  Tim got his call this morning and he must leave out tomorrow to be in Florida on Tuesday morning, so there is much to do to get him ready for the road.  Once he's underway, I have to head back in to Bay City to get some things done for work; with school starting in just a couple weeks (for me), I need to get more accomplished before the time comes when I will be there only 3 days a week.  I am so sad to have to miss out; sending Tim with some of the chicken salad (he'd better enjoy it!) for his trip, and I will take the rest to the office with me.  Perhaps my boss and his family will be able to enjoy it.  I'll keep enough home for dinner tomorrow nite.  Will be thinking of you as I eat it.

Enjoy each other's company.  I feel as though I am letting you all down.

FQ

We are sorry you can't come, Fishing Quilter. We're off to a good start tonight.
Not too late to join us this weekend for anyone else who wants to come.
