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."

We are also known as the Warm & Fuzzie Obama Mamas - and are proud to support our president! Agnostic - Humanist - Atheist - Jewish - Buddhist - Democratic - Independent - Christian - Deist - searching .....all peaceful peeps are welcome!

When you have achieved an open mind you can then open your heart to humanity. Commit charitable acts, volunteer, help those who cannot help themselves. Look around you and see the world as it is and do your part to make it better. Establish the values of great people who have wandered down this very same road before you. Begin where they left off, build a better world for those to follow you or teach them how to journey down their own path.

An open mind equals an open heart which ultimately leads to world peace.
Kephen Merancis

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." ~ John F. Kennedy

Comment by Anti M on November 17, 2009 at 11:03am: Their cookies suck anyway.

(Geek joke: Come to the Dark Side, We Have Cookies. Not a reflection on anyone's baking ability).

Comment by Anti M on November 16, 2009 at 11:53am: I don't read their group, it is just unproductive.

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 15, 2009 at 7:12pm: I'm missing something...I only read "our" sites here on N4M...did someone read the Onion and take it as real? how funny, even I thought they were more intelligent than that...remember the comment about " I broke a Marine's heart today...I told him Colbert was satire...then I had to explain what 'satire' is..." HA!

Comment by Anti M on November 14, 2009 at 11:08am: The Foundation sounds interesting. I'm somewhere in the middle, and it would be interesting to find a support group for those of us who are square pegs. Well, rhomboid?

Comment by Anti M on November 14, 2009 at 10:50am: Jill, wise internet discussions? As much of a dream as universal health care and a cure for cancer.

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 10, 2009 at 5:09pm: It was a great speech, from a President who cares...

I wish I could say I don't hate gwbush, but I hold him responsible for the deaths of the Americans killed in Iraq, he led us there on his own whim, for his own reasons. If we'd hit Afghanistan with that force we'd have hunted down bin laden and be done with that. I never wanted him dead tho, anyone who promotes the death of a sitting President is asking for a weak America, we are one country. These military moms urging sedition by their children serving should be brought up on charges, maybe, after this tragedy they will be.

Comment by Anti M on November 9, 2009 at 3:37pm: Heeeee.

Comment by TexasDocMom on November 9, 2009 at 9:48am: MMK, that reminds me, I need to make my appt, or I'll be in that same boat, it's that time of year.

Also, thing to remember,Costco is CHEAP drugs, they charge cost plus 15%. A generic drug that costs 126. at Walgreens was 16.41 at Costco.

Comment by Anti M on November 6, 2009 at 11:05am: In the Small World category, one of the wounded soldiers is from here in Ogden, went to one of the high schools I also attended.
