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

My page is set to private. It was not for a long time, but after the latest report of ugliness, I took that step, just in case. I may switch it back, I may not. My sailor nephew isn't on it anyway. Smart kid asked me not to post about him.
But most of this is just odd to me. I moderate a board, we let people flame each other, but the moment they cross the line with real threats or posting personal info, they are gone. We also have an "ignore" and "block" function. We do get posters who are mentally ill, now that is plain scary. These people who are posting about liberals are just showing immaturity and bad judgment. To seek out personal info and post it... okay, I can see pointing out to someone how carelessly they may have left a cyber-trail in order to help them avoid mistakes, but to post it elsewhere as fodder for who knows what, just weird. And yes, childish.

Posting someone's name and address can be reported to whichever site hosts the blog. A violation of TOS for almost any blog or board. If you can file a complaint, do so.

Chris' dream assignment is the USS Independence (LCS2), the first of a new class of anti-piracy ships. If by some miracle he gets it he won't be in a "war" zone, but those Somali/Indonesian pirates do shoot back. I'm proud of him for wanting to take on this major threat to US trade, and for wanting to do the job the Navy was created for!

SteveB, my dad was stationed at Pt. Mugu when I was a kid. We went fishing off a pier quite a bit, one of my brothers hooked a halibut so big he had to wade into the surf to pull it in by hand. And dad used to go on midnight runs to catch squid, mom got mad when he filled the freezer with them.

I can write something in LOL speak, but I don't know of any translators.
Ship numbers are their barracks. Each barracks building has a name (for example, Ship 6 is the USS Constitution, Ship 10 is the USS Enterprise) and the division number is your son and 87 other recruits who will train together.
Oh, Chris headed to MEPS hotel today, tomorrow he goes to GL!

Oregon has *gasp* seasons? Besides wet and dry?

Ah, waves. Now we have plenty of those, sometimes 25 feet high or higher. It's a really spectacular show.

Snow, I miss snow. We used to live in Colorado, I loved the snow. I even loved shoveling the sidewalk and driving on icy roads.
Now we live within view of the Pacific in Oregon, and it *rarely* snows.I really miss waking up to look out the window upon a winter wonderland. Hot chocolate, a good book and a roaring fire just aren't the same without the fluffy white stuff.

I may not be a Christian and never was, but I admit that I love Christmas music. Some of the most beautiful or catchiest tunes in the world were written for religion, and I see no reason to forgo them. Sometimes I change the lyrics a little (or a lot, LOL), but my house will never be without the music of the winter season.
