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."

Good morning...;) My oldest Sailor and his wife and new baby will be heading to Oahu in May...with me in tow...yippee!!! We are all so excited. My son is a Nuke E6, I say that, because I am finding that housing options seem to differ with rates, etc. I would be eternally grateful for any words of wisdom that you Moms may have...;))

Let's not give up yet. There were always survivors in the other crashes, Let's pray for God's mercy and love to bring them home safe, in Jesus' most precious name we pray amen.

So sad for all family members and friends and the Marines. The situation does not appear to be good. May Gods comfort and grace be apparent to all.

Just heard about the Marine Helicopter crash that happened last night over the waters of Oahu, Hawaii. 12 missing Marines, when the 2 helicopters collided. Please pray for their safety, & their families. Unfortunately, it doesn't look good, as they say the seas & swells (15 to 30 feet) are making conditions extremely poor, with high winds & rain. My heart is breaking, as if there isn't enough bad things going on in our world, & these guys, and all our military personnel, every day, sacrifice & give of themselves for us & our country.
