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 Mari on March 28, 2009 at 6:57pm: My son is in boot camp right now and I just heard he has been sick with a bad cold for the past two weeks. I would appreciate any prayers you could send his way. Thank you all and God Bless all our sailors.

We will be surrounding you and your husband and his medical team on April 1st--in prayer.
We also pray the American Red Cross can reach your son.
Know that we care, and that you will be on many church prayer lists across the country.

Comment by NevadaSierra on March 17, 2009 at 9:46am: My praise and thanksgiving for the wonderful blessings we receive.
I just wanted to drop a note of THANKS to all of you! The four hours stress test went well for my husband (Dan). We will know the results of the pictures of his heart in a few days. My angel blessings to each of you~s
Thank you for asking about Brianna. As far as we know she is recovering. Very scary for us especially when we can't be there to try to be of help. However, it is very reassuring that they have a 'strong group of friends' for support (the ombudsman told me this in an e-mail). We won't bother them with calling or e-mail to respect our dil's request; and also to give them all the chance to relax, rest and recourperate when they can. Our sailor is still deployed, so I am sure this is very hard on our dil.
Owen's trip on the USS Hornet with the Scouts was AWESOME! Great for Pa (my husband-GrandPa) and him to do. ~s

Comment by Mari on March 17, 2009 at 8:01am: Thank you Beverly for that beautiful video, what a wonderful way to start the day.God Bless.

Comment by carols_kitchen on March 16, 2009 at 2:51pm: Hi Chicago Moms, (to all navy prayer partners)
You might not know me but we all have alot of things in common, our Sailors, I feel that being part of N4M we are all a family and your children are my children, I humbly come to your site to put forth a request.
There is a young Man his name is Stephen "Fran's Son" he came down with GBS and he has it very bad, He had been on the vent or "life support for a little over a month, then switched to a trach and a speaker valve and his mom heard his voice for the first time in months. We had hope he would make progress, but it has only gotten worse. I would love it if someone could reach her, for moral support just to let her know that she is not alone and give her that momma hug or that smile that Stephen needs to see or touch of his hand to know that he is so loved.
I am asking if possble to pray for complete healing and for someone to go visit her. Thank you for letting me post, Frieda

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on March 14, 2009 at 2:17pm: Hello all you wonderful God praying ladies! I would like to add another special prayer request for my SIL who is now in Afghanistan. Please pray for him & his squadron. Thank you so much for all the wonderful prayers!

Father I come to you today to ask for a special protection over Luke & his squadron. I ask that You cover & surround them all with a band of protective angels. Bring them all back healthy & whole to us when their mission is through. Thank you Father God for allowing us to come to You personally for our requests and allowing us to unload our worries & fears on You. I know that Your will be done and You see fit and that all of our lives are in Your hands.
