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."

For our Sailors - the Father's Blessing
Numbers 6:24-26 from the NIV

May the LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
The LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.

I especially like it from the Message translation

God bless you and keep you,
God smile on you and gift you,
God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.

May these words ring true for each and everyone of you!

Comment by navy25 on March 14, 2011 at 12:48am: Written March 5th in Emptynesters Group--Hi Navy Moms you know how great this site is I'll tell you- Just about an Hour ago I got a great surprise via text message from one of our Navy Moms who I met during our sons PIR back in October 8 2010 at Great Lakes-She texted me saying Hi Guess who I just hugged and I said Who? She responded"Your Son" I gave him a Big Hug for You. - I started crying Happy Tears because she really made my day, I had spoken to my son briefly earlier and this was a great ending to my day, she later send me 2 fotos via cell phone of both of our sons.They were both together in the same unit during BCamp."Im still teary eye" but since PIR us Moms have stayed in touch on and off and I consider her my friend and I only pray that our friendship last Forever. I met some Great Moms on Meet & Greet and we still keep in touch plus others from the different groups on this great website who I have not even met so this is a Powerful Website and one of Longlasting Friendship because Us Navy Moms Are The Very Best-My Love to All and I have no way to Thank my Buddy Christina for giving me a Wonderful Surprise Today. (funny thing today March 5th was the day I met my son's Dad back in 1977(Im a widow since 1987) so I guess it was a gift from above via NavyMommyto4boyz she was visiting her son at GL and they bumped into my son and she thought of Me right away. God Bless My Navy Friend and her Sailor and All of Us Navy Moms who Miss Our Children so very much. Luv Maria Navy25

So as you see How Powerful We All Are and All because Our Sailors got Us Together so They as Well are very Poweful to have started this Beautiful Friendship Navy Moms PIR 10/8/10 Rock Luv ya All Ladies
