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."

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

All my time is consumed with Burning Man to do stuff. Today was buying drinks and food. Tomorrow is more painting sewing and packing. Every now and then I get a bit of housework in.

I'm ON government health care. Sure it isn't perfect, but it works. I don't see why we can't care for all Americans in such a manner.

Well...My son did Spain...and spent a fortune. Don't ask.
Now he's just ready to get out of CLajuene! You should have heard his voice tonight when I shot him the photos of the kids today after I had dinner at my daughter's...he's ready to have some home time! He hasn't been home since Christmas, says the command is waiting for funding to send him and the others down to San Antonio.

That is a terrible end to the story... I hope that's the end, that there is no more hate to go around.
