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."

Thank you God for the safe return of the USS John C Stennis who came home safely from an 8.5 month deployment.
Praying for the Nuke's in GC...I believe God does greater than we ask or think, because that's what His word says. We need to keep asking boldly :) I pray those using this forum would become bolder in their devotions with God and in telling others of His great Love, also that their loved ones in the US Navy would be strengthened in the Strength of God. I pray their lives would be blessed and renewed by His love. I pray our loved ones would be surrounded by Godly influences and Godly people. I pray they would learn to turn all their lives over to our Loving God..the good things AND all their troubles. Jeremiah 29:11 says He has a future and hope for them! A plan for good and not for evil. I pray for our loved ones in the Navy would begin to seek God,,,because when they seek for Him, they will definately find Him. Lets lift them in our prayers BY NAME ! Thank you God that we can trust You for answers!!!
In church yesterday, a very intelligent young lady in our congregation was engaged in conversation with me when I asked her to back up and repeat what she had just told me. "I am joining the Navy" she said with sparkling eyes. "That's what I just thought you said" said I. Have you seen a recruiter?" "Yes". "You know we are a new navy family as well" I remarked. "Yes" she said. This was wonderful to me. As she walked off with her friend, her dad happened to walk up. "Yes" , he shared, " for a couple of years she has known she wanted to join the armed forces...but she didn't know what branch to choose. Well, one night she had a dream that she was dressed in an officer's uniform in the US Navy and so THAT is how her journey begins."!!!!!!!!
