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 September 25, 2010 at 9:59am: Praying for all of my N4M friends/sisters here. I am so thankful to God for giving me this group to turn to when in need of prayer and comfort. He has given us each other to turn to. Thank you Father God for giving us each other and for You being with us in each and every moment. It is so comforting and reasurring to know that there are others here that care and are praying with and for us. In Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 24, 2010 at 8:28pm: We are pleased to have Proud Mom with us as a prayer partner.

Comment by KatK on September 24, 2010 at 11:58am: Please pray for the men and women of the 7th fleet who will be doing anti-sub exercises with South Korea next week. Tensions are running high in that area. (No loose lips here-read it on google alert).

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on September 24, 2010 at 10:09am: Thank you all for praying. We had to admit my Dad to the hospital last nite even tho he is a hospice patient because he was vomiting blood violently and uncontrollably. He is also in A-fib with a pulse ox in the 70's on 100% O2. If it is determined that he is not a surgical candidate, the ED doctor told us that he probably has only 24 hrs. to live - that was 5-6 hrs ago. My family is coming in from everywhere (I have 6 brothes and sisters). Please pray that there will be no more strife in our family and that it will be a peaceful day for my Dad's home-going. My mind is just racing, but I will try to post something here tonight. If you don't hear from me, please just keep on praying like I know you all will do for me. I don't know if I could do this without knowing my sisters are here in this place praying. Now that I am also praying for the families of those 3 young seals who died in the helicopter crash yesterday. God, please give their families peace.

Comment by carols_kitchen on September 23, 2010 at 3:40pm: Oh Sweetheart, we are with you in spirit and sisterly love.
Eternal God
Please lift up the family of NYPD Mom. Keep them surrounded in your loving arms. Direct the care of her Dad's medical team. Keep her Dad comforted. Let her be open to the whispers of your heart and plans for her Dad. And let her know we are here to pray with her at all times.
In your Name, which we lift high
Amen

Comment by Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on September 23, 2010 at 11:59am: Please keep my family in prayer. My Dad (who has pancreatic CA if you don't know) has developed severe abdominal ascites. Currently his lungs are clear, but being a nurse I know what comes next. He is also having long episodes of apnea & yesterday I saw that his feet were cyanotic from the toes halfway up the top of his foot. I believe he is entering a more active stage of dying. Please pray, I don't know how I can bear it if his lungs fill. Dear Jesus, please help me now. In Your name I pray, Amen

Comment by EQ on September 22, 2010 at 11:40pm: Heavenly Father I ask for your prayers for the families of the 3 young seals we lost yesterday in a helicopter crash. Please be with the families in their time of grieving. Also be with the families of the soldiers we also lost yesterday. Amen.

Comment by KatK on September 22, 2010 at 10:55pm: Thanks for all the prayers for my son. He passed is OOD board and now just has to take one more test tomorrow.

Comment by BugsMom on September 22, 2010 at 7:04pm: Sheila, so glad you found a job, what a wonderful answer to prayer. I'm praying Andie will be blessed with the job she needs to make her move so much easier. Prayers being said for all of you.

Comment by BugsMom on September 22, 2010 at 6:06pm: Hello All, I've been having problems getting online. Will continue praying for you all and hoping that I get my internet problems sorted out soon. My son is doing well, should be home in approximately 7 weeks. God bless you all.
