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 Proud Navy/NYPD Mom (Donna) on June 29, 2010 at 10:35am: Thank you for the welcome, Carol! I've been reminded by NurseNavyMom that when all else is failing, I can - and should - be praying. You'd like after all these years, that fact alone would be foremost in my head. Unfortunately when things happen unexpectedly or the seriousnes of something throws cold water then slaps me in the face, that is when I should be on my knees tapping into the real power that makes things happen or change - God Himself. I'm glad I can be part of something like this.

Comment by BugsMom on June 24, 2010 at 4:41pm: Beautiful memories Carol, what a blessing to get those times. Praying for your friend Nurse navy mom and for you to find your next job opportunitiy. Praising the Lord for your mom's health improving. God bless you all!

Comment by carols_kitchen on June 24, 2010 at 4:38pm: Praises for the opportunity to be with our son before he deploys. His finances are tight waiting upon an error in his pay, so we are here at the right time to help him through. We also have the chance to meet his landlord roommate whom he met at welding school. Plus, our daughter in law was able to drive in from Charelston to be with us.

Small talk in the back seat was great. The question was "What is life?" Both son and I answered in unison "To Serve the Lord cheerfully!" Wow.

Comment by BugsMom on June 24, 2010 at 11:04am: Good morning! Blondie, hope the weather is nice and calm where you are today and the dog is safe and sound too. Sharon, praise God, 90% headed for 100%! So happy you will see your son soon. Give him a hug for me! I heard from my DIL last night, my son got one of my packages, the one with the shorts he needed, hope they fit. It's 110 in Afghan so he needed them so desperately. I have no idea where in Afghan he is, but that's okay, just need to know he's okay. My prayers are with you all. Hugs!

Comment by BugsMom on June 23, 2010 at 4:37pm: Lord, you know the path the storms are on, please direct them so that Blondie and all others in it's path remain safe. Please continue to bless all the moms on this site, they are all amazing moms! It's such a blessing to have them all here to pray for each other and Lord I feel honored to be a part of this group. You do know the needs of each and every one of us Lord and we thank you for meeting our needs and answering our prayers. In Jesus name Amen!
