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 Debbie on February 19, 2010 at 12:12am: BITTERSWEET - how are you doing? Feeling better?? Missed ya!

Comment by Debbie on February 19, 2010 at 12:10am: DILDRAA - Maryland? Where are you in Md? I am originally from B'more. In Laws still there!

Angel - you made me cry! Your boys are handsome too ( and a beautiful granddaughter to boot!)

All - thanks for the good wishes for my fur kid. Will let you all know the lab results tomorrow.

I find I am crying alot these days. My husband came home from work and I asked him to make a big drink! I am well into #2 and am feeling a little calmer........just want to go to GL now........

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on February 18, 2010 at 11:33pm: I love that scripture... I imagine in my head as I read it... an angel larger than life with a wing crossed over in front of me when he is scared for me and then extended when showing me the way...
When I was small child my mom used to put her arm out everytime she'd apply the brakes in the car... just instinct a mother has for her child... protecting, shielding from harm...

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on February 18, 2010 at 11:29pm: Sorry I have been so quiet tonight... thanks for all the congrats on the letters... not feeling well... think the stress has caught up with me... fell asleep in the middle of a manicure today...

Cudawn he has been to a couple different ones however ther one in particular he referenced was the "Gospel Service"
this is the one where he was ummm whats the word enlightened LOL

Angel~ sorry you had a bad day sweetie. I hate it when work gets into your head and even sometimes in your heart... makes it hard to know what to do. Praying for you.
Also just a thought I sent Rick a copy of the soldiers prayer (Psalm 91) I hope he gets it before BS21. I think it would help him make it through the hardest part... with the feathers of the Lord protecting and guiding him...
Good night all~

Comment by Courtney (Adam's wife) <3 on February 18, 2010 at 10:58pm: hello all. I just got probably the last letter from my hubby. I might get one on Monday or Wednesday, but maybe not, they are pretty busy. So, I thought I can mention that my husband has made friends with one recruit in particular in his division and I just wanted to put the name out there so that in case it is your son or hubby, you can be proud of raising or marrying a really nice guy. He goes to the Lutheran service with my husband as well. He calls him Chellman :) No one has to reply to keep the privacy going, but I just thought I would let you all know! :) I am so excited...one more week, I am so excited... one more week *singing and dancing around the room!*

Comment by dreams on February 18, 2010 at 9:35pm: ...and let me add ....all of you give me inspiration and strength everyday -- thank you!

Comment by dreams on February 18, 2010 at 9:33pm: keljac - I couldn't have said it better.

Thank you for your prayers and good words, you constantly inspire us all keljacmom!!

Comment by Debbie on February 18, 2010 at 9:31pm: G-man - may your g-mom pass peacefully. (((((hugs)))))

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 18, 2010 at 9:29pm: Angel(blue-eyed-son)7/103, what a beautiful baby!

sg357~Ship #7 Division #103, I have had a couple of them too. I have done turtle rehabilitation and get them in when folks get tired of them. I don't know how you could, they are easy pets.

sg357~Ship #7 Division #103, my g-ma is going to leave us most likely tonight, her heart is getting weaker and her pulse is weak. I just spoke with my mom and she was really sad. But, that is what my g-ma wanted. I just wish my moms siblings would just respect her final wishes.
