Peter Stinson's Tidewater Musings Blog


There have been several blogs and websites that have given the CHINFO/FHTNC/USAFNS debacle a link, or a few kind words, but none as many and as strong as Peter Stinson's Tidewater Musings and articles named:


August 12 - More-on-milbloggers
August 24 - And we thought the McCarthy era was bad
August 26 - Hey, Admiral, you've been blogged
August 26 - So what, exactly, does the Chief of Information do?
August 26 - Here's the unofficial Navy emblem
August 27 - Okay, Stinson, just what's your deal with the Navy and their
Chief of Information? .

Among other things, Mr. Stinson displays the forbidden Official U.S.Navy Seal, and warns everyone not to use it. I never thought of displaying it with a warning for the public good as he has done. He has been quiet since my posting of the availability of $39 each for color and B&W Official Navy Seals, or $78 for both from a commercial website. I can't wait to see what he thinks about that. I suspect that he is at a "loss for words" on that one.
In Mr. Stinson's August 24 posting, he writes:

I'm thinking it might be time for a slew of us to exercise our rights and submit Freedom of Information Requests for all written and electronic documentation pertaining to non-DOD Internet websites which publish information about the Navy, the Department of Defense, or other United States government agencies the Navy and/or the Office of Naval Information monitors and/or seeks to limit or cease publication.Perhaps if the blogosphere starts chattering, someone will listen.

I agree with him, and will write one today, please join us, and make sure to ask for a waiver on the fees. I plan to use the electronic filing pages, instead of writing a letter. Here are the links:


Department of Defense
Department of the Navy
DOD Freedom of information Handbook

In my next segment, I may identify the midlevel CHINFO Staffer that started this debacle. I have to wait until I can talk with my attorney, to find out if the "Webmaster of the Navy" could be considered a "public figure".
