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 NCmom on March 16, 2011 at 6:27pm: You guys are fantastic! I will be there at 9AM with you all in spirit!

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 16, 2011 at 2:21pm: @ KathyMmom--you are such a HOOT!!! I miss your emails lady, I know you and I have both been busy. I will be praying everyday at 9 a.m. EDT cuz here in Michigan it is always EDT...lol! What an awesome idea! Count me in.

Thank you God for all that You are doing for me and my family. Also, thank you for all You are doing for and through each one of us here on N4M prayer wall. Enjoying the beautiful sunshine, warm weather and birds singing!! Amen

Comment by KathyMmom on March 16, 2011 at 1:01pm: Hi Kelly - you are an hour behind Eastern time - so this should be 8am for you, 7am for us Mountain chicks, and 6am for the California girls. AZ, well they don't do daylight savings so right now it's 8am for them, but in the fall, it will be 7am for them because they would switch from Central to Mountain - so confusing!! 3am in Hawaii though, which is why I was thinking an addendum would be appropriate. If you are ever confused about time zones (I am ALL the time and tell everyone they should talk to me in KathyTime and forget all of that other other nonsense), look at this site for some help: http://www.timeanddate.com/ You can look at all kinds of stuff there that can be helpful.

Anyway - all that to say - 8am for you! :-) They don't call me chatty kathy for nothing.

Comment by Kelly on March 16, 2011 at 12:30pm: hi moms can i find out what EDT time would be in central standard time even if its past midknight i can set my clock to pray.

Comment by KathyMmom on March 16, 2011 at 11:25am: Blondie/Ladies - what a wonderful idea those ladies came up with - we all pray together at 9am EDT, even a quiet prayer at our desks, in our cars on our way to work, in the kitchen fixing our first cup of tea. Praying for all of our troops across the world. I am in on that! The only problem will be those in a time zone where it is sleeping time, but I'm sure God will understand if folks in Hawaii and other locations post an addendum!

Comment by tesla was right on March 16, 2011 at 9:45am: Amen! Thank you Blondie!

we give thanks to the Lord for so much, and we plead in prayer for those in and around the world who need so much.protect and guide them.

Comment by Kelly on March 16, 2011 at 4:15am: scripture to stand on: Psalms 91:7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you

Comment by NCmom on March 15, 2011 at 4:51pm: What an inspired prayer, Proud Navy/NYPD mom. Thank you for putting it up for all of us to read and pray with you.

Comment by navyfam on March 15, 2011 at 4:29pm: Thanks NYPD for your beautiful prayer! Standing in prayer with all of you.

Blondie-thanks for posting the beautiful picture and REMINDER!

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!!!!

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 15, 2011 at 3:53pm: Thank you NYPD Mom for your beautiful prayer and saying exactly what all of us are thinking, praying and concerned about. My son was suppose to be stationed in Bahrain instead of Diego Garcia. It is a relief to know he isn't there with all that is going on there, but I also feel awful for those who are stationed there are their families. Praying for all!

Praying for my financial and job situation. I lost one of my biggest income earning cleaning jobs today and am believing that God has this all in His control and will have something better for me. Thank you Father God for never leaving us or allowing us to go through good and bad situations without You and Your love. Amen
