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."

This is a group. Just a place to put our prayers. Often we don't know if another sailor or family is in need of prayer, and it seemed an easier way for all of us to reach out in that special time of need. It could also be generic per the need.

Please keep the family of SN Calvin Meeker my daughters
friend who was home on leave for the holidays and passed
away suddenly at home. He was to start Seal training.
Such a tragedy only 19. My son has PIR in 8 days can't
wait to see him. Prayers go out to all in need!

Dear Lord, thank you for giving my son Sam strength and courage to get through bc. I know how lonely he must be.  Lord please continue to care for all the young men and women trying to get through this as well.  Lord, please watch over our loved ones and keep them safe from harm. Thank you Lord for everything. I love you and I know my son does as well. Thank you for letting the Navy put the finishing touches on my child and making him shine like you meant for him to do. Amen

I think this is a wonderful idea. I'll read this daily, and pray as I go along for every request on here. If we all do that, think of how many people will be praying for us!

May God Bless and watch over all of our Sailors, and they're families and friends as well.

I'm also a bit worried about my son, Michael. He was going to be - and still may be a Priest...but right now he's in A-school to be a MAA. Please pray that he has the strength to serve his country well, and safely!

I ask for prayers for my son. He is leaving for boot camp very soon. Please pray he makes it through boot camp. I also would like a little prayer for me that I will accept my son leaving and be able to get past the tears. I will be praying for you all. God Bless you always.

Please watch over Kim's son and keep all our future sailors and military safe.  Give them both your peace of mind and heart.  Give him strength as he goes through the rigors of trainings.  Keep them all surrounded in your loving arms.  Amen

Comment by redshewmn on March 2, 2012 at 1:16pm

Amen to this....we pray for divine protection and wisdom of their leaders.  Bring them home safe as they risk their lives in keeping our country safe...my boy is in Indian Ocean on a ship....prayers for all the boys who dedicate their life....
