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."

2 lbs ground beef (lean)
1 large jug of V8 Juice (46 oz)
1 can beef broth
1 family size bag mixed frozen veggies (peas, carrots & corn mixture)
2 cans of diced potatoes
Brown the ground beef and drain well. Add beef to crock pot.
Add the V8 Juice, beef broth and bag of frozen veggies.
Cook on low for 7-10 hours. The last half hour of cooking drain the canned potatoes and add to soup. Let cook for about 30 minutes longer.
That's it! Not only is it good for you, but it tastes great too. I like to serve it with warm corn bread. I also will sometimes change out the veggies and add green beans, can of kidney beans, okra, anything you might like. Since the V-8 and broth have salt you don't have to add any to the soup. You can always add it to each bowl if you like. I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as my family does. Enjoy! Wendy -
