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."

Rackie, so glad your FIL got the VISA! Sounds like you had a harrowing drive at 3am, thank God your trip was successful and safe. 

My 12 year old daughter misses her brother so much, she actually follows these posts too :-) Seeing that photo yesterday of our Division was a Godsend, thanks again Tickled Tink for answering that trivia question correctly!

Comment by MidwestMom on June 22, 2011 at 9:29am
So happy for you Rackie!  You do have a lot to be thankful for, but then so do the rest of us.  We just sometimes forget all the blessings that happen each and every day.  Thanks for the great reminder!

cheri who sent the message to the group:  Yes, a child under 12 does not count as part of the 4 on the list.  No worries.  He/she can go to PIR.  Make sure you have proper id for him/her (check your form letter).
Comment by TickledTink on June 22, 2011 at 3:24am
No worries!

I'm really overwhelmed with God's grace today.. I've been posting this to all of the groups I belong to. Tickled, pardon me that I mention your name here (and every where) and not your user id.

My hubby's A school is 14 weeks!  I'm kinda sad that it is even longer than RTC, but at least we will be in more contact!!  Rackie I'm so glad to have helped make your already blessed day even better!

1 Chronicles 29:11-13(KJV)
"Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.

Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name."

Good evening everyone.. We always have to count our blessings: here's mine for this WONDERFUL day:

1. Daddy Roel my father-in-law was granted a tourist visa today!

2. Last night after working at the hospital(7pm-3am shift) I drove to Naval Air Station-Lemoore (for 4 hours), I arrived safely there and back. Was very nervous especially on the way there since it's a really dark and winding road (Pacheco Pass and I-5). I prayed and sing praises the whole way, glad to have K-LOVE radio.

3. I was able to get my military ID..finally..

4. I went to NFCU to "fix" the account and now I have access to it! I prayed so hard that I'd be able to talk to someone who would help me. Brenda (bank clerk) was really helpful and very patient to answer all my question and needs. She made everything so effortless!
5. Meeting all of you helpful ladies here in N4M who help me navigate to this new lifestyle. (Amanda, thanks for the form!)
6. My GPS broke down and I was glad that my co-worker Dolores printed out directions just in case.. I got there and back safe.


7. All the helpful people in the NAS. Who was patient to me who is so bad with directions. I met an officer who handed me a detailed map of the area and even highlighted the DSP, NFCU, starbucks, gas station and how to get to I-5.


8. The icing in the cake, seeing my husband in the picture! (Angel whose husband is in the same ship12/div 224 won the Tuesday trivia on the facebook page of RTC.

9. For all of you here, thank you so much for the support and prayers.

Remember, with Jesus Christ everything is possible! God's mercy and blessings to to all of us, and our families!

No /: I can't seem to get any answers out of that man! Haha. It could be that he doesn't know yet also..
Comment by seabee_wife92 on June 21, 2011 at 11:12pm
Haha.. well we don't want to wake the babies! That's so true though! I feel very blessed that he isn't going to be gone for a long long time.
