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 AngiePNMx2 on April 12, 2010 at 3:57pm: Lord have mercy on all those who are sick and need your healing. Let your healing blood cover them and restore their bodies from the tops of their heads to the souls of thier feet and and every fiber of their being. In Jesus mighty, powerful and healing name.

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 12, 2010 at 3:44pm: Continue to pray for Rose's Niece (see discussion above.)
Also for Ray, Jr, who got H1N1 flu this past fall, has been in ICU ever since, and is praying for a heart transplant.

Comment by Deb Big Lake on April 11, 2010 at 1:37pm: Yes and Amen Father! We trust in your supreme governing of their lives. May they turn to you for peace and comfort.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on April 11, 2010 at 1:30pm: Dear Father God, I am praying for Luke and the group of Airmen on their way to Afghanistan right now. Please surround them with a hedge of protective angels and bring them home safely when their tour of deployment is through. In Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 11, 2010 at 11:25am: Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD. [a]
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.

Comment by Deb Big Lake on April 11, 2010 at 10:51am: My son doesn't leave until August, but he's in for 6 years! I have fear of the unknown regarding his future. BUt, God did not give us a spirit of fear but of love and a sound mind. I am looking forward to learning to use this website, cause I know nothing about the Navy, really.

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 7, 2010 at 3:30pm: Just asking for a personal prayer of support. Today would have been my brother's birthday, and I just miss him very much. Please continue to support his wife and their two adult sons. Eric was a champion for God and Jesus, and went to join his savior 4 years ago.
Thank you.

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 5, 2010 at 9:31pm: Eternal God
Thank you for miracles, as my co-worker's sister recovered from ICU and today was such a great site for eyes! She is leaving the major hospital in St Louis and being sent back to her hometown hospital for rehab.
Also, please pray for the family of the 4th sailor who was declared deceased. Enfold his family, friends and shipmates in your arms of care.
Amen

Comment by John and Yvonne on April 5, 2010 at 2:35pm: I haven't been on here in quite some time, so I just want to make a short comment here by way of introduction. I'm a retired Navy chaplain. Yvonne and I have a "home away from home" for servicemen and women in our home on weekends. On Saturdays we get together for food fun and games. On Sundays we have a big home cooked meal after church and then we relax, watch Christian videos, have Bible studies where the guys and girls can ask questions and hopefully get some answers.

If your sons or daughters get orders to the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area and you think they might be interested in getting away from the base for a few hours, into a "real" home, with a real family, let them know about us. We'd love to invite them over. Send us a private message on here and we'll give you our contact information. We've had several Navyformoms' sailors to the house. Some Navyformoms have even visited!

We would appreciate your prayers for us. Sometimes it seems like the enemy wants to do everything he can to stop what we are trying to do. But I know that the Lord Jesus is still on the throne and still in control!

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 3, 2010 at 8:58pm: Eternal God, on this weekend of miracles, we ask for prayers for our missing navy aviator. Please wrap his family, friends and shipmates in your loving arms. Amen
