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 carols_kitchen on September 4, 2010 at 11:24am: We could use some more Illinois sewers for Sue's project, or fabric. Think about joining her group if you have a passion for this project.

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 4, 2010 at 11:21am: T-Lynn--not the news I wanted to pass on. Please keep all in your prayers.

From Sue:

Well, what a day! But God is good and He is in control. And He has given me such a wonderful gift in you all. Thank you for being here for me and my family.

I talked to Jazz's mom tonight. She really needs out prayer. Health and emotion wise.

There will be a memorial service for Ashton Ray on Saturday, 9-11 in Post, TX. Close to Lubbock. We will drive over next Friday. My sonny is deploying real soon also and I need to see him before he goes. I can't let him get on that ship without a hug from his mom.

Comment by T-Lynn on September 4, 2010 at 11:15am: Ggod Morning
Thank you all :)
At this time - no words have I heard. But with all this love - wow, a miracle is waiting to happen - thank you again I will be sharing with my GF that all of you are praying.

Any words from Sue though? I know we all have her granddaughter in our hearts too.

And wishing all a great - beautiful Labor Day Weekend. Oh - Navy Week too
