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 z808404 on December 3, 2014 at 5:06pm: My condolences to the young sailor, his family, and shipmates. My heart truly goes out to them all. God Bless them all. :(

Comment by CatMom509 on December 3, 2014 at 4:20pm: Everyone,

     "I will lift up my eyes to the hills--where does

      my help come from? My help comes from

      the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth."

                                               Psalm 121-1-2

Comment by CatMom509 on December 3, 2014 at 4:20pm: Prayers of comfort from our God for Sailor Andrew Adams, his family, friends, and other Sailors in his PIR group~~

Comment by diannep on December 3, 2014 at 4:04pm: AMEN, Meloni. Navy just released his name, 20 yr old Andrew Adams from Sarasota FL. I know his family/friends must be devastated as his shipmates/RDCs must be also. To just have become a sailor (he had just completed BattleStations shortly before this).....wow.....I can just imagine that his family got that wonderful I'm a Sailor call from him....then this. Prayers that they find out what happened....and that there is some kind of peace restored to the family. God Bless one of our newest sailors!

Comment by Cheld on December 3, 2014 at 2:56pm: Yes Meloni! I agree. God Bless our SR's and prayers for Div 803, Im still sick over the news. He was only 20yrs old.

Comment by Meloni on December 3, 2014 at 2:49pm: People, please pray for the family of the recruit who died after battle stations this Monday. This week's PIR will be so sad for everyone. DIV 803, you are especially in my prayers. God keep you all so we can see you 12/12.

Comment by diannep on December 3, 2014 at 12:19pm: Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on December 3, 2014 at 3:40am: FTLW,

So nice to read of your love of herding dogs and Sea World! Have you heard of www.cuddleclones.com where they can make a custom plush of your furbaby? I just found them on FB through Venus, the Chimera Cat--you've got to see her! I would love to have one done of our black and white cat Genesis. Their photo gallery is fun to go through!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 3, 2014 at 3:30am: Mattie - That's wonderful! It's good that you can live your dream!

I'm more of a dog person. Actually, I was a licensed AHT and wanted to work with exotics, Sea World or the Zoo. I met my future hubby though and wanted babies more LOL.

But then I got a Border Collie X...who proceeded to eat our house! I had never seen one in practice since I worked in the city and so did not really know about them. High energy, needs a job. Found Sheepherding and that was all she wrote. Got my purebred from working lines and trained, did farm work and competed in Sheepdog trials. He's 14 1/2 now and I won't be able to even think about getting a new dog for a couple of years...but it is a dream :-) Hubby had dogs too and has also worked with horses...so planning for that land and farm someday! I miss it...can you tell?! LOL

So in a way...I look at my Border Collies as an "exotic". PLUS, I get my dose of Sea World a few times a year! Have had up close encounters with Dolphins, Penguin and Belugas. The next goal for SW is to get in the water with the Dolphins and Belugas!

Comment by Mattie on December 2, 2014 at 11:59pm: At fireteamleaderwife:
For the past six years now i have been anle to live out my childhood dream of learning to ride and work with horses, it just took a lifetime to get here :). The farm where we are currently is just a beautiful piece of land, amazing sunrises and sunsets and always lots of wildlife, i even got to see a bear there once!
