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."

I love The Bell!

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 14, 2008 at 11:26pm: We pray for our N4M friend's daughter as she waits medical testing. Keep her and her family in your comforting arms.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 14, 2008 at 6:17pm: Susie--do we not need to pray without ceasing? It has been a blessing to be on this page. Our sailor took one year seminary school thinking he might be a youth minister. We always told him he could minister where ever he is. I think it is becoming more apparent.
Gabriel--what a wonderful name of God!

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 12, 2008 at 9:32am: Praises to God for the time we have this weekend to be with our A School sailor in Goose Creek! We now know where our prayers have been sent. He has keep his wonderful sense of humor and really loves his classes. God, only you put in to motion this direction for our sailor. Praises are eternal and God is good. Amen

PEACEMAKERS ARE THOSE who see that the world and its people are broken but also hold a dream, a vision, that God can and does reach out to heal our world. And God does it through the acts of those who live by the values of this new kingdom where God’s will is being done.

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on October 6, 2008 at 10:25pm: Please keep this sailors family and friends in your prayers as well as the sailors of the USS IKE who were friends with this sailor and who wittnessed this tragic accident . As Allison has said below her son wittnessed the accident and my son had to help bring his body down the ship's elevator.

This was posted on a Norfolk VA news staion websiste
The sailor has been identified as Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) Second Class Petty Officer Robert Lemar Robinson, a 31-year-old Detroit Native.
The accident is under investigation.

I don't know if he was married, children or even if any of the family memebers are on this site.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 5, 2008 at 8:05am: GRACIOUS LORD, God of truth and grace and love: grant me to praise you, bless you, and worship you through all I think and say and do; for only you, O Christ, with the Holy Spirit, fully radiate the glory of God the Father throughout all ages. Amen.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 4, 2008 at 3:08pm: Dear Lord
You are our eternal God. God of grace and glory. We ask that you uplift Jill and keep her safe through boot camp. Support her husband and their two young children with your loving arms. Help them to know that their mommy needed to become a sailor and to be ever so proud of her decision. Support the marriage and its long distance relationships it will now go through. Help her husband as he becomes like a single parent--keep him strong.
And Lord, please be with Mary and all of Jill's extended family. Know that they are also in the loving care of our N4Ms. That we are here to be with them.
In his loving name we pray, Amen.

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 2, 2008 at 8:46am: Eternal God,
We lift up Tina's sailor son to you. Keep him and his ship family safely enclosed within your arms. Be with those in harm's way and protect them with your heavenly shield. We are all one family and we pray that each and every one returns safely to their families.
Please keep Tina open from fear so her prayer lifeline to you does not become interrupted with too many worries. Keep an angel on her shoulder at all times.
You are the God of Grace and Glory and it is in your name we pray. Amen.
