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."

Wouldn't it be something if our 2 husbands were the ones that had to stand watch out of 80 guys in the group and the 10 or so women that have loved ones in our DIV.. At least we are going through it together!

This is what was in my daily devotional yesterday. I just wanted to share with the moms.
Heavenly Father, today I affirm anew that the gift You gave to me - my children--I fully give back to you. I place them within Your hands and Your keeping. Continue to give me the wisdom I need to guide their steps on Your pathway and to help them know Your plan and purpose for their whole lives.
Knowing that I can bring to You the prayers of my heart--carrying with them the deepest longings and strongest desires--is a great blessing. You have heard my hearts cry for a family and you have given me, through my children, more than I could ask or dream. Thank You.
What a Blessing and joy each one is to me. They help me in so many ways to see and understand Your heart more clearly.
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what i asked of Him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord. I Samuel 1:27-28
Realizing that our children are not ours but Gods is not easy to accept sometimes. Giving them back to God is not easy but at least you know they are in Good Hands.
I was sitting in my car reading this while waiting on my 8yr old to get out of school when my phone rang and it was Marion calling me. Just wanted to share with ya'll. Have a Blessed day. -
