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 navyfam on February 5, 2011 at 1:16pm: Amen! Father God please be w/Tim & if he does not know you I pray that through this tremendous trial he will come to know you. We in your precious Son's name. Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on February 5, 2011 at 11:39am: From Navy Momma Shirley comes this word :
PLEASE PLEASE pray for my adopted Marine SSGT Tim Brown. I sent him a Molly's Adopt a Sailor care pkg two months ago (he has not been in the sandbox long at all) and just kinda adopted him along the way.

On Thursday he stepped on a IED and lost both legs his arm just above the elbow and has multiple fx's. Please just stop right now and say a small prayer for this guy. He just made it to Germany and will be enroute to Bethesda next week. I am in shock and disbelief. But I do know their is power in numbers so if I could beg all of you to say prayer for Tim and his family it will only take a second. Thanks♥

Comment by KathyMmom on January 31, 2011 at 3:05pm: Definitely Blondie - although it's only barely above zer here and the roads are really icy today....

1) The seats in our 10 year old car are heated!! so we sent our daughter back to school with it this week so she won't freeze her tiny little body just getting into the car.

2) My husband still loves me after 26 years, and I would still marry him again tomorrow.

3) Even though my daughters car was vandalized last thursday, the damage was enough that now the insurace company will paint it for us and we can change the color to white.

4) I'm working from home today! and as an added bonus, the dog is sitting on my feet acting as my own personal heater.

5) Dinner is getting itself ready in the good ole 26 year old crock pot. I love that thing.

6) Even though I have to go out in this brrrr weather later tonight, it's because I have a place I can go and use workout equipment and work off my you know what since LMAO doesn't really work for anybody. It's not really warm in there, but at least it's better than 4 degrees and I can keep my jacket on.

7) Electricity is on - all over Denver - and homeless shelters are opening extra doors so nobody should be out in this cold this week. Plus, great response to Coats for Colorado this year, so warmth was spread around. Grateful for giving souls.

8) It's beautiful outside my window.

Asking that you lift a dear cousin, Army veteran from Vietnam and his family. He is losing his battle with cancer and hurting. Praising God that he is confident that he will be seeing God soon, but he will be sorely missed in this life. His wife needs strength to see her through.
