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."

Please watch over one of our former sailors, who is on his way to finally pick up his car. He has 250 miles of snow and cold to go through. thank you for his friend, who is driving him so he can retrieve his car after waiting for it to be shipped back from his former base. Keep them safe on the way home, too.

Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 19, 2011 at 8:22pm: We are happy to have another prayer partner, shawn.

I expect that if the family wants to be contacted, we will be given a name and perhaps a mailing address for cards. However, we all know we hold them in our hearts.
