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."

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

When I consider how my light is spent Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one Talent which is death to hide
Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest He returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies,
"God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts.
Who best Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best.
His state Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait.

Oddly, Salt Lake City is listed as "gay friendly". However, the rest of the state is conservative, although I have a funny feeling my LDS brother votes Democrat but won't admit it. I have most of my family hidden from me on FB.

My son is out of the Navy as of January (7.5 years) and even serving with those Marines didn't turn his liberal heart, thank God!!! His favorite saying when some of them have nerve to post on his FB page ..."haters gotta hate..."....

I'm around. I live in Utah, so I'm depressed most of the time when it comes to politics.

Actually, I"ve come back.
Still staggering from Wisconsin and North Carolina. I'm starting a petition in Maryland (much too liberal a state) to open a sport hunting season on liberals. I know that this seems odd, since I am one, but it will keep us more on our toes, or thin out the lazy ones.
Have you seen the John McNaughton art? http://www.mcnaughtonart.com/. It's very special.
Oh, I hope folks see the sarcasm here.

Anybody still around?

I'm an agnostic pagan with a lot of atheist friends. About as close as anyone will admit to on these boards.
