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."

They'll start a rumor that he's cutting military pay...this freeze doesn't apply to the military, and it's certainly better than lay offs!!

Can you believe this? Has he been questioned in public by the press or anyone since this book of Bush's was released? .

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.

And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.

and minimum wage will be .75 an hour....if these nutcases have their way. Running for office and winning based on bullshit is one thing...governing is totally different. The real Republicans are scared shitless of the new nuts in office! The Democratic party will work against them out in the open, but those "real" Repubs have already been working the back rooms to limit the damage of some of these nuts.

Link to the story of one of the victims of the Killeen shooting last year. I met this young man's grandmother at the brain rehab here in Austin when I was there with a musician I had booked and who was playing for the patients in the lobby. It's an amazing story of healing, hard work, love and perseverance.
