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."

Sorry Missy, I don't have an answer. But Kim or Anti M will . They should come one soon.

Blondie - doing the happy Dance. Actually I think I need to have a party - YOU TOOK A DAY OFF!!!!!!

amazing - wonderful -yippee back to dancing.

I vote put wedding stuff in cedar chest. I know you really don't like to pack - but look where the packing will take you !!!

Here too - not ding any yard work - it is raining. I hope to pop some more dandelions between rains.

I am bone tired. I was a volunteer for a fifth grade outing to a museum. turns out it was the entire 5th grades of all the schools invited to the museum - it was the Civil War Days. And we walked ALL over the areas. turns out the kids loved best was the cannon going off. But they did enjoy playing parlor games, learning about the Underground Railroad, they sang songs, and listening to a lady acotr who shared about using the underground Railroad to escape o freedom. This lady never left character. She had the adults in tears.

Guess who is teething? For real - Riker . Explains his biting my shoulder. Plus, older son went to dentist fearing he had a very bad cavity or broke a tooth. After x-rays - turns out he has a very bad sinus infection. So dil looks at me and says: I now have two babies. I replied: Happy First Mother's Day .

with that , I wish all a very Happy Mother's Day hugs all

Comment by Missy on May 7, 2015 at 11:46pm: Hi, I have a question does anyone know what a travel base pay deduction is, my sailor's last two pay checks have been reduced due to this deduction. If anyone knows what that type of deduction might be, please share. Thank you!
