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 BugsMom on October 14, 2010 at 4:51pm: Hello Everyone, Sorry I've been away for so long, I have so much trouble getting online with you all. The system I'm on is so restricted that it's almost impossible, so I just keep clicking until it allows me to post, I can still read all your posts though so I've been reading along a bit. I wanted to give you all an update on my nephews condition. Matt had his urethra repair surgery a few days ago, he came through with flying colors and is expected to recover very well. Thank you all for your prayers and support. My son is scheduled to return from his deployment in Afghanistan, "the sandbox" in approximately 5 weeks. We haven't heard from him in a few days, so please pray for his safe return to us. God bless you all, I will continue to pray for you and if I disappear again for awhile, just wave and know I'm reading and I've just gone mute again. Hugs to you all!

Comment by carols_kitchen on October 14, 2010 at 4:37pm: My friend has asked me to lift up her son, Mike, his wife, Blyss,and their unborn baby. Mike is having a very difficult time in a program the Navy asked him to do. There have been some very hard times as they worry whether he will be allowed to re-class or even stay in the Navy, as this program turned out to be way more intense than he anticipated. I first met Mike almost 2 1/2 years ago as I fed him on base for a Thanksgiving. Since, then, he has been one of my adopted kids.
Please hold him and his young family in your arms and prayers.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on October 14, 2010 at 2:53pm: Blondie, I can feel the love and HUGS from you as if your here with me. Again, thank you. HUGS back at you!

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on October 14, 2010 at 2:51pm: Blondie, you are such a loving sister in Christ and a blessing to us all. Thank you so much. I have made it through another day at the job, but am not sure how I am going to make it when i have to return on Saturday.

Thank you, Father God for the loving and caring people here on this website. They are such a blessing and extension of Your love. I pray for You to watch over, guide and protect each person here and their loved ones. Thank you for getting me through the day at work and giving me the strength to finish my shift and not walk out. Lord I also ask for Your loving comfort and strength to 1st Class Calvin's family, friends and shipmates. Thank you for allowing him to come into each of their lives and also for You accepting him into Your loving arms and kingdom. Continue to comfort and be with Proud Navy/NYPD Mom. I know that even though we know our loved ones may be with You in heaven, we are still here on earth missing them and loving them. Father, watch over my son, Allen and allow him to come home safe and sound to the U.S. to be with his family. Please allow his wife, Jessica's heart to soften and turn back to him as she did when they met and married. I pray this all in Your loving and precious name, Jesus. Amen.

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on October 14, 2010 at 2:42pm: Father, I just want to thank you for my dear sisters here who prayed me and my family during my Dad's last days and then on through the preparations, funeral & burial. Sisters in Jesus are such a precious gift, thank you for giving them to me. Please bless them today and keep them and their sailors safe. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I just wanted to add a comment. I just read in another group that 1st Class Calvin has died. There wasn't a date that I could find, but maybe someone else will come across it. May God grant comfort and peace to his grieving family. Thank you Jesus. Amen

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on October 14, 2010 at 9:44am: Dear God, You know the struggles I am going through with training on this new job. I am at my wits end & patience with it all. Please help me through the rest of my shift here & help me to find a different job where I will be a instrument for You. I am begging You, Father. I really don't think I can take another day of this. In Jesus name, Amen.
