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 October 20, 2010 at 3:28pm: Dear Father God, I am praying for You to cover my son, Allen with Your loving protection as he travels home to the United States from overseas. Please allow him, Jessica and the girls to have a loving and joyful reunion on Friday when he arrives in Ohio. Praying for him and the girls to have a safe trip also to Michigan to visit all of us here. Please allow me to have time to visit with them all. This is the first time I will have to hold and love on my new granddaughter Maddox and I pray that it is a blessed time. Thank you God for allowing us to have this time together and guide and protection all of our military wherever they are worldwide. In Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by Navy-avimom on October 19, 2010 at 3:01am: Lord bless our family member serving our counrty. My daughter is in her 2nd week of boot camp and I pray for her Lord. I pray our letters keep her spirits up and she continues to feel our belief in her. Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 18, 2010 at 12:16pm: Welcome Jose, Alicia's husband d951/s02 .We are glad to have you with us and in prayer.

Comment by Proud Navy husband on October 18, 2010 at 11:57am: what's up, good people! my wife and I need some prayer. Thankfully, our marriage is going well. Both just need prayer to continue to have a strong faith in this time of being apart from each other because of bootcamp. individually, i need prayer of praise for being blessed with another year of life. I turn 25 today and I feel very blessed to have lived another year. Furthermore, He's blessed me with an amazing wife who's in love with me for who i am, even though i'm not perfect and I love her the same way. I'd also like some prayer for my wife to be given all the strength possible to do all of her tasks. I know she's capable of doing anything, and even more when we're together. God's put so many obstacles in our path of being together and because we have strong faith and stuck by each other's side, we've overcome these obstacles (i.e. fears, fights, doubts and frustration). In return, i'll be praying for all of you. Even if i don't know you, i'm sure a prayer will go your way. I send my best to you all and may God Bless you and your families.

Comment by njohnson on October 16, 2010 at 4:39pm: Carols_Kitchen and Ringtone's Mom - Thank you both for welcoming me to NFMs. More importantly thank you both for your prayers and for remembering my cousin!

Comment by njohnson on October 16, 2010 at 4:22pm: Hello, I'm 1st Class Calvin's cousin. Although, I'm not a Navy Mother, I wanted to write and extend my appreciation and thanksgiving to each of you who kept my cousin in your prayers over the last couple of weeks.

Shortly after my cousin died, I ran across this support group and began reading all of the wonderful prayers and thoughts that were said for 1st Class Calvin, and his family. This goes without saying, but Calvin's passing is a tremendous shock and heartbreaking to our entire family. However, I was able to pull some comfort and strength from your prayers and the admiration you all expressed for him! The comments that were posted made me so proud to be his cousin. You see, I've always known him as my "baby cousin"...the one who could brighten any room simply by being there, the one known for his pracitical jokes, great sense of humor and laughter. I've always known that 1st Class Calvin's personality was infectious to those who knew him, but your prayers tell me so much more and again I thank you for that!!!! May his memory be eternal!

I know that God's will is purposeful, but lossing him is so hard to understand...and I'm asking that you all continue to keep Kumba's mother, son, sisters, brothers and cousins in your prayers. And if our paths never cross again, please know that this "introduction" has blessed me and given me peace; and I will value it forever. In closing, I will continue to keep you all, your sons and daughters in my prayers and thoughts. May God Bless each of you and supply you with all of your needs.
