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 barbara10/08 on March 4, 2015 at 11:53pm: Oh shoot, just lost the post and have to re-type; well, it has been that kind of a day.
Thanks ladies, the afghans are my relaxation.
T-lynn, really no time frame. Some are done quickly (as when there is a deadline), and others take a little longer.......Okay, a Lot longer, ha ha.
If I get one done inside of a year I am happy.
Love the baby. Thumbs are so much easier than binky's.
Your beadwork is Stunning. I love it on the patches-makes them really special. Wow, that is a lot of work-so tiny!
And yes, do what you really love. I remember your shawls, and those are beautiful too.

Blondie, safe travels! That is some itinerary! but time spent with family is all worth it.
Omg-sorry and shocked to hear about Lori-prayers for her daughter and family.

Maggs-lovely ladies! Enjoy the visit:))

Halfpintl- so much yuck going around this winter-hope you feel a Lot better soon.

2tymenavymom- thank you to you and all the others on here who remember us and pray for us, send good thoughts or positive vibes- it really is appreciated and I believe makes a difference in people's lives.

My fingers are all thumbs, correcting almost every sentence, so time to get some z's!

Comment by 2tymeNavyMom on March 3, 2015 at 7:53pm: Blondie,

I'm in the south and your picture is too true. If it rains here the news will have a "weather watch" blah blah blah. The weather reporters will go stand in the rain and warn us all. I get it if there is an eminent mud slide but sheesh it's only a little water people.

Hope you feel better soon. Think I am finaly cathing what has been going around at work. Hopefully I won't catch the Pheumonia part that three of my co-workers have gotten.

I just want to say a big thank you to all of the rest of the Navy Mom's on here as well. Even though I do not write alot I enjoy hearing about what's going on and please know that I add you all and your families to my nightly prayers

Comment by Kim on March 3, 2015 at 7:04pm: Maggs, I am not sure of my Washington plans. Son wants to be back Friday or Saturday. I'll PM you.

Comment by halfpintl on March 3, 2015 at 6:34pm: I want to Thank Everyone for the assistance on the psychology paper. I would have written sooner but I've been extremely sick. Still not doing so hot but better than I've been.

Comment by Kim on March 3, 2015 at 6:30pm: A Smith. He can get an electronic copy of his W2. They are issued by DFAS (defense financial accounting systems).

Go to this site: http://www.dfas.mil/ There are 4 flashing screen links. One of them is to request a copy of your W2.

Let me know if you have any problems with this. I work with DFAS as a contractor.

Comment by blm on March 3, 2015 at 5:57pm: TLynn-what special pieces you have created!

Comment by T-Lynn on March 3, 2015 at 11:22am: HI

Gentle hugs Blondie. Sorry to hear about Lori passing. And I don't think her daughter will be alone - she will have you :).

Remember I said March came in a s lamb? Well his cousin the Lion arrived this morning. Sleet and snow. some schools have closed, but not here. Adn today I have to be in Class A's for a Pinewood derby. Oh, well the kids love me in it.

Yes, I love Elizabeth's work too. My beading is still simple. I have made a small pouch for a little girl. That was enough for me. I like to make shawls. My goal id to get back making them. I STILL have the one to do with the horse theme.

Need to get. wish all a wonderful day. hugs

Comment by Cheryl-TedsMom on March 3, 2015 at 9:09am: Blondie - Love the pics. Also rings true with us up here in Mass.

Comment by Anti M on March 2, 2015 at 9:55am: Beautiful work, Barbara and T! I need to get busy again, although I have been painting. Working on painting the kitchen cupboards too, but that is a little bit at a time project.
