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 jean on March 29, 2011 at 7:20pm: navy moms i just need prayer for house repairs and trying to go to Hawaii and need more education or a better paying job so I can help pay for the house repairs

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on March 29, 2011 at 5:40pm: Sheila, sorry I forgot to put your name in -- I hope and pray that you know how much I want Jesus to wrap you in His arms and just hold you for a while! You are going thru a serious time of testing & my heart aches for you. You were there for me, let me know exactly how I can be there for YOU. Love and HUGS>>

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on March 29, 2011 at 5:37pm: Lord we thank you that Sheila's Mom made it thru the night. We just pray now that things will stabilize and healing will begin. I pray for her Dad also. What a scary feeling that must be, Father I ask You to please draw close to him and give him peace. Jesus, please just wrap Your loving arms around her and hold her close to You.

Thank you that NCmom's back is feeling better. Please keep it relaxed and pain free so that she can enjoy all the special moments of this coming week-end. Thank You for her grace which she so freely shares.

Please be with us as we travel back to MA tomorrow. It will be so hard to leave this precious little one who has stolen our hearts completely in just a few days. We love her so much. Lord I thank You for finally having some happy news to share with our family after the sorrow of last year. Please hold back the snow until we are safely home ... or make it go south of us so that we have no difficulties on the road.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your tender love and mercy to us. In Your name I pray, Amen.

Comment by NCmom on March 29, 2011 at 2:49pm: You know each day as I read the notes and prayers, I feel so uplifted as if I have been to a great church service. I came to N4M because I was needing more information and for connection and support. I was still scared at the choice that my son had made. God, in his mysterious way, gave me a peace about his decision and as he left for OCS 12 weeks ago, our congregation prayed for our whole family. And you know what happened... none of us cried when he drove off to RI, because we were able to rest on all of His promises. I must say to you all that you also have held me in your arms and eased me through these weeks! And I thank the Lord for leading me to the magazine in the Dr office with the ad for Navy for Mom's!! Thank you for your sisterly love and hugs. I also appreciate all of your prayers for my back! It is better today and I will have one more treatment tomorrow before I leave for RI!! It is a blessing that it happened while I was still at home and that I have an awesome Chiropractor. I am in prayer daily for all of you !

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 29, 2011 at 1:16pm: Thank you all so very much for your thoughts and prayers. It is so greatly appreciated! I am praying for all of you and your families also. My heart is heavy for you Sheila and all that you and your parents are going through right now. We are here praying for you and know you are strong through Jesus Christ our Lord. (((HUGS)))

Thank you Blondie for such inspirational and appropriate grapics.
