Operation Self Defense Application Form

When managing a project of this size through an information medium as powerful as the internet, one of the key ingredients for success is having the right people for the job. We would rather have X number of people on our team working efficiently, systematically and consistently in a team structure than have twice that many who aren't really on board. When you say you are going to monitor 4 news websites each day, we take your word for it and remove that newspaper from our index of those available to other potential Net Detectives. Therefore, we expect you to keep your commitment.

To be considered for a position on the Operation Self Defense "Net Detective" Team, please answer the following questions to the best of your ability. Someone will get back with you as soon as it is convenient. Please be sure you know which available newspapers you would like to monitor.  If you haven't yet made that decision, please visit our Newspapers Index and find a few that suit you before filling out this application form. Thank you...

Operation Self Defense
Team Member Agreement

As a member of the OpSD Team I agree to the following terms and conditions:

AUTHENTICITY

I completely support the individual right of the people to keep and bear arms in any manner they choose and find any infringement on this basic civil and human right to be abhorrent.

COMMITMENT

I agree to monitor the news website(s) to which I commit on the days to which I've committed. If something occurs that prevents me from keeping my commitment, I agree to notify Operation Self Defense Directors at the OpSD Team email address -- provided to me when when my application is approved -- as quickly as possible, and to give notice at that same email address when I am again keeping track of my News websites.

TEAM PLAYER

I agree to submit OpSD-worthy news items immediately as I find them and to the email address specified by Directors in my application approval notice. I further agree to receive compassionate coaching as needed to hone my skills as a Net Detective.

FRAUD: Fair Warning

Any person seeking to infiltrate the Operation Self Defense team in order to sabotage its success is guilty of violating THE NATIONAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION ACT OF 1996 and subject to criminal prosecution. Transmission of this application with intent to defraud Operation Self Defense Directors and staff is considered an act of internet fraud under 18 USC 1030 and will be prosecuted.

Do you agree to the above?

YES    NO

If you check NO, your application will be processed after all YES Applicants are processed and communication will be required.  If you do not agree but would like to be considered for the OpSD team and wish to communicate with an Operation Self Defense Director on this matter, please email [email protected] with a subject of "AGREEMENT ISSUE". Please be concise, considerate and respectful. Failure to do so will assure that your email is deleted and ignored.

Why are you asking for so much personal information, especially for a reference?

1)  If you are an anti-gun person attempting to sabotage our efforts to bring the truth to our brothers and sisters, we will find out and make sure you regret having done so -- through a variety of creative, legal means.

2)  If you are a pro-gun ally but your answer to the questions don't fully address what we need to know from you, we would like to personally connect with you to make sure all of your questions are answered and that you're clear on what will be expected of you.

If your concern involves the potential for your information to be shared anywhere besides among Operation Self Defense and KABA Directors, please read KeepAndBearArms.com's very clear and strongly worded Privacy Policy.
