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 September 10, 2009 at 8:36pm: I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.

~ Psalm 17:6, NLT
Thank Father God for listening to all of our prayers. Please watch over all here on this website and their families. Please watch over all of our Military & families. We are so grateful that You hear our cries for comfort, help, praise & thanks. Encouragement seems so hard sometimes, but knowing that we can come to You is encouragement and comfort. I pray for my family also and all that we/they are in need of from You. I pray in Your loving and wonderful name, Amen.

Thank you for the memories of my family members who are with you in heaven. Many things have reminded me so much of my brother, Mom, Dad and others. It's been weepy, but it has also been joyful.
Thank you for letting me know that one day we shall all be together.
Continue to bless our Military and watch over the seas for all those who are deployed.
Amen

Comment by prov2324mom on September 4, 2009 at 12:39pm: Pleaase pray for my son, He is a depper with a SEALcontract. Yesterday while rappeling he hurt his right foot. He has been training hard and needs to continue to be ready for bootcamp, pre-buds and Buds. Please pray that the injury is not severe and will heal quickly, and that he is more cautious in the future.

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 3, 2009 at 9:33pm: Dear Lord
Please watch over our sailors in Goose Creek. A large number of them have been ill of late. Help them to ask for help when they need it.
Amen

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on September 2, 2009 at 6:29pm: O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.

It is hard to believe it has been just over a year ago since our sailor was in boot camp. I praise you for watching over him as he has been on this journey. I thank you for keeping him safe and on his goal. I bless you for finding him a life partner in his wife and their church wedding.
You make our life good. Thank you. Amen

LOrd ask that you carry both of these recruits to finish line with time to spare.
thank you Lord that you are our hope in times of trouble.
I bless your holy Name and thank you in advance for the good report we will hear for both of these future sailors.
