Road Trip: Naval Support Facility Indian Head, Maryland

Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Division, also known as Naval Support Facility Indian Head, is a United States naval military installation in Charles County, Maryland, that is a NAVSEA Warfare Center enterprise dedicated to energetics (explosives, propellants, pyrotechnics, reactive materials, and their application in propulsion systems and ordnance). NSWC IHD began as the Naval Proving Ground, Indian Head during World War I.

Surrounded by the Potomac River and Mattawoman Creek, Naval Support Facility Indian Head is strategically situated less than 30 miles south of the nation’s capital. In addition to its military value, the Indian Head Navy installation makes a significant economic contribution to the local community by serving as one of Charles County, Maryland’s largest employers.

Today’s military community on board Naval Support Facility Indian Head represents a diverse and strategically important mix of research and development activities, alongside operational support programs that are protecting the U.S. homeland from terrorist threats, as well as serving U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Army forces deployed worldwide on a daily basis.

 Current supported commands on board NSF Indian Head include the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division, Naval Ordnance Safety and Security Activity, Naval Sea Logistics Center Indian Head, Joint Interoperability Test Command, and Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force.

Gentle Speech

Bible in a Year:

• Amos 1–3
• Revelation 6

The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome.

2 Timothy 2:24 I was on Facebook, arguing. Bad move. What made me think I was obligated to “correct” a stranger on a hot topic—especially a divisive one? The results were heated words, hurt feelings (on my part anyway), and a broken opportunity to witness well for Jesus. That’s the sum outcome of “internet anger.” It’s the term for the harsh words flung daily across the blogosphere. As one ethics expert explained, people wrongly conclude that rage “is how public ideas are talked about.”

Paul’s wise advice to Timothy gave the same caution. “Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone” (2 Timothy 2:23–24).

Paul’s good counsel, written to Timothy from a Roman prison, was sent to prepare the young pastor for teaching God’s truth. The apostle’s advice is just as timely for us today, especially when the conversation turns to our faith. “Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth” (v. 25).

Speaking kindly to others is part of this challenge, but not just for pastors. For all who love God and seek to tell others about Him, may we speak His truth in love. With every word, the Holy Spirit will help us. Reflect & Pray

Why is it vital as a believer in Jesus to avoid arguing with others on the internet (and in other contexts)? When you’re led by the Holy Spirit, how does the tone of your comments—your heart—change?

Father God, when I’m speaking to others about Your truth—or other interests—indwell my heart and tongue with Your love.

Spent five months at Indian Head while going through phase two of EOD school in 1990. Lots of great weekends at the Powder Keg, only bad memory was the Navy chow hall, worst I ever experienced in 26 years of military service.

Enjoy.

Howdy, PRO.

It looks like some nastiness is moving towards you from the Pacific. Is it cold enough that it’ll come down as snow? BRRRRRR

It’s just warm enough here for us to get rain. Got a decent amount last night and another system coming through Wed. That one will give us rain, too, but will clobber the northeast.
