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."

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on June 23, 2010 at 2:25pm: AMEN!

Comment by Oneofalot on June 23, 2010 at 2:24pm: Lord I am praying that the storms that are bothering the Mid west and other parts of the US, please stop them and help the people recover from the ones they have already had. Keep everyone safe where Blondie is and let the storm just pass on by. In Jesus name Amen.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on June 23, 2010 at 2:21pm: Sharon, praying for you to be 100% for the organization of your trip and for your trip itself. Father God, You know the needs of those here on the site. I pray for your comfort, strength, protection and love for each an every one. Also, guide and direct those who are in boot camp with Proud Mom 72's son. You know what is happening with the 10 who are causing trouble. Please handle for the other 77. Give them comfort and strength to endure. In Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on June 23, 2010 at 2:15pm: BugsMom, NurseNavyMom & Blondie, Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts! It means so much to me to know that there are ladies like you out there who have never met me but care and pray for me and my family. I am praying also for all of you. Always caring!

Proud Mom 72, praying for your son in BC. It is so hard to get thru BC without troublemakers, but I'm sure it is more frustrating for those 77 who are giving their all.

Comment by BugsMom on June 23, 2010 at 12:01pm: Proud Mom, praying for your son's division. Lord there are 77 young people working very hard to get through boot camp, you know the difficulties they face even under normal circumstances. We ask that you speak to the hearts of these 10 who are causing problems and lift up the 77 who are struggling because of their actions. We also ask that you restore Sharon's health to 100% so that she may be up to the challenges of organizing this trip to Japan, may she feel your loving touch as you restore her health. For all others needing your special guidance and love today Lord, we ask that you touch them and allow them to feel you working on their behalf. In Jesus name, Amen!

Comment by BugsMom on June 22, 2010 at 6:58pm: Cheryl, praying for safe travels for your family tomorrow. Also standing in prayer for your other requests. God bless your new home, I'm very happy for you. Saying prayers for all you and your family. Sharon, welcome back, praying for your health.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on June 22, 2010 at 6:50pm: Just read over all the posts for the last two days and thanking God for all the healing and also praying for those who need prayer. I will be keeping all of them and you in my thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine what the family is going through of the young man who was so distraught that he took his own life. I also have a prayer request myself. My daughter, Alison and two granddaughters, Kenzie & Madi are driving from Arkansas to Michigan on Wednesday, June 23. Please pray for them to have travel mercies. My SIL is still in Afghanistan and they are coming to visit me for a couple weeks. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.

Father God, I come to you asking for your protection and guidance for Ali, Kenz & Madi as they travel from Arkansas to Michigan tomorrow. Please continue to protection Luke in Afghanistan and Allen in Diego Garcia. I also ask for your favor over my other daughter, Andrea with her custody situation. I pray that she will not lose her case or full-custody of Marissa. Thank Father for allowing me to come to you with these troubles and requests. I thank You also for allowing me to finally move into my own house this week. It has been a lot of work, but it definitely is worth all the struggle. I ask these things & praise and honor Your name, Lord. Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by BugsMom on June 22, 2010 at 11:07am: Good Morning, praying with you all this morning and thanking God for the many blessings everyday. Jean I pray that you get wonderful news at your doctors appointment today. Nurse Navy Mom I pray that the Lord leads you to your next job assignment and that your mother is healed of whatever her illness may be. Also praying for those at GL and for the family of the young man who felt it necessary to take his own life, Lord please have mercy on his soul and comfort his family. For all those in need of your loving, healing hands Lord I lift them up to you and praise You for your compassion, your guidance and your love. Amen.
