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."

I'm praying for your 40 y/o daughter's protection and that He has her in the palm of his hand. She belongs to Him so we know that all things work for the good of he who loves the Lord. May she have peace in the midst of the storm and be led by the still waters to calm her soul. God bless you Momma and your precious baby.

Thank you Jennifer and all my sisters in Christ Jesus. I feel the presence of your prayers and am praying for you all and your families.
Dear Jennifer, thank you so much for this group. It is one of the most inspiring groups and I love your spirit. May the Father continue directing your path as you serve Him.

Please pray for my son in his senior year of high school and his future plans for higher education. He seems to be unfocused and falling down somewhat and I'm concerned about him and his future. I believe the Lord has a mighty work for him to do so I ask my sisters here to pray for him to allow the Lord to use him and not be rebellious as many teens are. Thank you all for your prayers and may God bless you all.

Father God I thank you for Debi's son life and his courage. I pray that you build a hedge around him and keep in the warmth of your embrace. Give him peace and strength to walk his walk with you Father God. May this family enjoy their younger son's graduation also even though all can not be there. In Jesus holy name, Amen.

Hope all were able to fellowship and worship this week with the Living Gods children. I'm thankful for my church family and my pastor as these believers help encourage and mentor me. I'm thankful for my neighbor who is a believer and has "adopted" me as her daugther and understand the pain of having lost my mother on this side. I'm thankful for all of you and consider you all my sister here in Blesseth Assuranance. Most especially, I'm thankful for salvation and God's grace.
Please remember that this Thursday, May 7th is National Prayer Day and we're being asked to commit to praying for our nation, its leaders and our communities to be in the will of God. It is requested that if possible the prayer time be half an hour but whatever is do-able I believe is worthy of the effort. Blessings, Sherry

Dearest ladies...I don't want to be a nit picker and I say this in the upmost respect and concern. Please don't post your private e-mails in the comment sections. Every one in this world can read them and you open yourselves up to all kinds of spammers and cons. You should remove those comments to avoid this.To exchange private info use the Private mail throught this site...you have to be friends with one another to do this.
With Love and concern,
Angie

Hi Debi,
Just read your post in Blesseth Assurance about your phone calls to the academy. Just thought I would ask you if you spoke to your son's Regional Director and if you gave his correct candidate number both times. These two things are very important to do whenever you communicate about your son's status.
Congratulations on his acceptance into NAPS!! I'm excited that both our sons will be attending NAPS together!! That is a true blessing from the Lord! blessings, Sherry

Hi Sisters ~ Maryellen, hey you are where I'd like to be (Norfolk). Sounds like you've been doing plenty of driving lately, the things we do to see and be with our children. In the last 6 years I've driven from MI to RI, MD and VA and ask anyone who knows me I do not like driving more than a few hours anywhere. That said I'm glad your husband was able to travel with you.
Father God, I thank you for your grace and I humbly ask you for traveling mercies for Sister MaryEllen and her family. May you keep Danielle's ship crew safe from hurt, harm and danger as they protect our country. In the awe inspiring name of your son Jesus, Amen
