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 carols_kitchen on December 16, 2010 at 12:26pm: Nanetter, may God wrap his arms around your family as he guides the medical care team. I understand this is quite a successful surgery, but anytime someone is in surgery, we worry. We will be waiting to hear all went well.

Comment by Nanette on December 15, 2010 at 9:51pm: Please pray for my grandson 11mo. old. He will have surgery tomorrow 7:30AM pacific time. To bring down a testicle only one has come down. Pray that God will be with the medical team that will be with him. And for my daughter and her husband that they be calm as possible. (for Gods comfort)

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 15, 2010 at 8:45pm: THis has been a bad season for refrigerators. Both my co=worker and I lost a deep freeze and fridge. I'm hoping yours can be fixed with something simple like a timer. Ours was only 6 yrs old and couldn't be fixed. Guess we got an early Chrismtas gift.

Blondie and Sheila--great news. Thanks for sharing.

Comment by BugsMom on December 15, 2010 at 8:20pm: Glad your son an DIL arrived safely and you made it home before the big storm came thru. I would like to request prayer...my refrigerator stopped working and our car is in desperate need of repair, please pray my husband can figure out both problems. We are thankful to have friends to help us get to our jobs and home and for allowing us to use their freezers. We lost quite a bit of food and since we live in a trailer the fridge is quite expensive, we can't afford to replace it. Thank you and God bless you all!
