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."

My oldest daughter is a horse lover. She got her first horse when she was 5. She always wanted to own a horse ranch in KY, because the pictures always show the green rolling countryside with such beautiful horses...here to get to ride in the desert and if you're not a very good rider, you get bucked off and land on a cactus......ouch!

Military OneSource is pleased to announce that beginning Monday, January 19, 2009, we began once again to provide free tax consultation and filing services to military service members and their families during the tax season. As in the three previous years, users will have free online access to the TaxCut Basic program.

A brief overview of the program:


* Users must register for Military OneSource and log on to the site for access to the online TaxCut program. A separate logon for the TaxCut site is required.

* Those eligible for the program are active duty, Guard and Reserve(regardless of activation status), spouses and dependent children (authorized in DEERS), family members handling the affairs of a deployed service member, DoD employees working in support roles (Army Community Services, Fleet & Family Services, Family Support Center, Marine Corps Community Services), and severely injured service members or family members handling their affairs.

* Participants will have free access to the H&R Block Basic TaxCut program.

* Participants can e-file one state resident return for each federal return that they e-file with TaxCut Online.


Find out more about the program by visiting the Military OneSource Tax page http://www.militaryonesource.com/skins/MOS/home.aspx
