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 Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on December 23, 2010 at 4:29pm: Carol, thank you for sharing that. It brings tears to my eyes, but says it so perfectly. Merry Christmas eve & hugs to all!

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on December 23, 2010 at 4:24pm: Praise God! I was just able to talk to my son, Allen. He was finally on Facebook when I logged on & we had a good chat. Things still aren't going well with him & his wife & we still misses his daughters a lot, but he sounds a little better. He & Jessica, his wife are atleast talking a little. Going to keep praying for miracles in their marriage. He is working on Christmas day like most of our military. Please Lord, be with all of our military at this special time & always. Comfort & protect them all wherever they may be. Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 23, 2010 at 4:19pm: You won't be home for Christmas,

You're half a world away;

An empty place at table side

To welcome Christmas day.

Your portrait's on the mantel

Where once your stocking hung.

You smile at us, in uniform,

So brave, so sweet... so young.

While others' homes are crowded

With family and friends,

We'll think of you with longing

And love that never ends.

We'll join hands round the table,

And say a heartfelt prayer.

We'll ask God to protect you,

And keep you in his care.

And though we're not together

As Christmas eve departs,

You will be home for Christmas.

We'll hold you in our hearts.

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 22, 2010 at 1:41am: Thinking of all of you.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on December 20, 2010 at 3:55pm: Blondie I am praying for you all & that you will be able to spend the precious time with your daughter. I am in total agreement with Kathy's prayer. Amen

Comment by KathyMmom on December 20, 2010 at 1:18pm: Father - thank you for all that you do for us each day. The opportunities to excel never seem to cease, and your blessings abound. I ask that you give Blondie and her daughter the precious time they need to be together. You created the relationship between mothers and daughters, and many of us feel the extrodinary love and the tight bond this relationship brings us. Give Blondie and her family relief from worry, and allow this visit to happen in the best possible way. Be with all of our military and their families. Touch each heart and bring them the knowledge that those of us back home are thinking of them, praying for them, and appreciating them. Thank you. Amen.

Blondie - go get on that plane! You are going to see your girl - I wish you sweet hugs with her and that every second you are together is joyful and relaxing.
