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 15, 2009 at 6:52pm: thanks for joining!
sheree, i'm not one who always used the crock for as many years as I've had mine. only used it few times here and there.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 15, 2009 at 6:45pm: Hey Serena, I agree with Carla...LOL!!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 15, 2009 at 1:30am: Thanks for joining and looking forward to your recipes.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 15, 2009 at 1:03am: Nita, tried your chili recipe you posted.
I have a 5qt and six cans of beans was a bit much so I only used five.
My hubby loved it but likes a little less beans. Four cans of beans is enough for us. I used ground turkey and sauteed half of a large onion, chopped, along with it but could of used a whole one. I put it together last night and let it simmer all night so that it would be ready by morning. After hubby had his bowl of cereal he ate two bowlfuls of the chili. Just made the cornbread to go along with it this evening. He loves chili with some good cornbread crumbled up in it.

I'll be trying the Breakfast Casserole next.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 15, 2009 at 12:00am: Thanks to all who have joined recently.

Thanks Louise for sharing your recipes.
NO disclaimer...LOL!!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 13, 2009 at 2:47pm: Thank you Carol & Welcome.

I always have chicken and the cream of mushroom soup around.
Sounds good over noodles.

Comment by carols_kitchen on February 13, 2009 at 2:42pm: Haven't read the back pages, but htis was a favorite from weight watchers days.

3-4 frozen chicken breasts
8 oz low fat sour cream
1 can low sodium, lo fat cream of mushroom soup
1 package dry onion soup mix

Place frozen chicken breats on bottom of crockpot.
in small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients.
pour over top of chicken.

Cooks 4-6 hours
serve with rice or noodles and favorite veggies.
For guys who like stroganoff or just lots of "gravy" --they will enjoy it with the sides a lot.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 13, 2009 at 2:28pm: Thanks Carla! They are super easy recipes.

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 13, 2009 at 2:25pm: I'm still "K.C."...LOL!

Comment by Karen (KC's mom) on February 13, 2009 at 2:23pm: Great, thanks Carla!

My name is actually Karen but my initials are K.C. that is where my son got his name from. KC's name is not abbreviated though. But that's okay you can continue to call me by the name of KC. Have a great day!
