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."

Hey Dog Lovers!! I am new to the dog lovers group. My daughter-Navy and Son-N-Law-Navy. I have 6 dogs.I had 7 -Last Nov.24th I had to put her down-"Peaches" 1/2 cocker-1/2 Jack Russell he was 13.5 yrs.old. Her health was getting worst-she wouldn't eat soup. I know she was a stong fighter but I couldn't take it any more. Any way I love my 4 legged babies. Dogs is a bad 4 letter word for my group.

Just like many of you, I am the mom not only of three human kids (one in the Navy, one in the Army and one 12 year old), but also a beagle! She is 7 years old and she is primarily our Navy son's dog, although she belongs to all of us. I'm thinking of making her food from scratch myself. I've read it can be a good thing. Does anyone have any info or opinions on this?

Big Daddy Kane is a 7 year old United Kennel Club registered American Staffordshire Terrier who is in dire need of rescue or a forever home. Kane has been left with a family member when his owner entered the military and we are desperately trying to avoid him landing in the wrong hands or in the shelter with no way out. If he comes to us at AC he will not go up for adoption.
If you're on facebook, please repost...

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday....
Beverly - my name is Vee and you may call me that on here...it's short for Vera.
My doggie is a 7-yr old Shih Tzu named T'Beau. I just took him in to town for his monthly grooming and he looks adorable. I tried to post a pic of him on here, but it came out all elongated and blurry?????? Wish I could figure out that problem.
