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 Karen (KC's mom) on February 18, 2009 at 2:59pm: I only remember doing rice in the microwave once. When I do it over the stove I use either 1 cup rice with 1-1/2 cups water or 2 cups rice with 2-1/2 cups water or a little more water. Cooks about 20-25 mins.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 18, 2009 at 3:26am: Welcome all and thanks for joining the group!

Thanks Louise.

The Taco Soup sounds good to me.
I want to try that recipe to Jean.

Comment by Jean (Braden's Mom) on February 17, 2009 at 8:07pm: I made Oriental Beef and Noodles. It was very very good. I will make it again.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 17, 2009 at 2:56pm: Thank you all new mom's and thanks Angie for joining!

I love all the recipes thats been posted!

Deborah, it's so simple and easy to throw everything into the crock. And it's nice to store leftovers in the freezer

Thank you Texas Proud Mom for your recipes and thanks again for all who recently posted their recipes.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 16, 2009 at 11:35pm: Are you talking about the pasta available in the refrigerated section of the store that is cooked already or ready to use?

A few months back my older brother and I made some lasagna and it was so good. Just followed the recipe on the back of the lasagna box. I thought it needed a little less or more...can't remember now...ricotta...double layer the noodles instead of single layer. That was made in the oven.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 16, 2009 at 11:18pm: Woohoo!! Just heard from my son while in port! Great to hear his voice over the phone.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 16, 2009 at 11:15pm: Yes, I saw them and thanks!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 16, 2009 at 10:55pm: Is Rotel a special type of tomato or brand name?

That's great Louise! Did you use the recipe I had posted or one of your own...sounds like your own recipe. Yes, I would prefer to do it in the crock rather than the oven.

I did find one recipe online for King Ranch almost exactly as yours Serena.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 16, 2009 at 3:21pm: No, what is the "King Ranch" chicken recipe Serena?

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 16, 2009 at 3:18pm: I had made chili the other night (remainder of it needs to go into the freezer) and I'm still planning to try the breakfast casserole tonight or tomorrow night so that it will be ready by the following morning.

Louise, let us know how the lasagna came out, okay?
