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 carols_kitchen on January 10, 2010 at 2:07pm: Please pray for our church family today. One of our faithful was pronounced dead just prior to our 8 AM service at Troy United Methodist Church. Millie Schaefer will be remembered as one of our long term members, friend to many, and believer in Christ and his rewards.

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 10, 2010 at 2:06pm: Senior Airman Bradly Smith arrives at Scott Air Force Base on his return home to Troy, IL. Please pray for his family and the safety of all our military.

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on January 8, 2010 at 8:22pm: Dear Lord, I come to you to ask for your loving guidance and protection over Allen on his drive to San Antonio, TX tomorrow from Virginia Beach, VA. Surround him and his vehicle with a band of protective angels. Be with him as he goes through his dog handler training classes. Give him peace of mind and the wisdom he needs to do his best. Be with Jessica and Audi back in Virginia having to go through each day without him. Give them the strength and peace of mind that You are there for them and Allen. Thank you so much for allowing us all to come to You with any and all requests and needs. In Jesus name, Amen.

Please be with the family of Airman Bradly Smith, a Troy, IL military man who died in service. He leaves behind a young daughter and wife. Please surround the family in this difficult time. He is a hero,
Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on January 6, 2010 at 11:29pm: Dearest Lord
Please hold Chris' family in your arms that are so strong and always faithful. Guide his medical care team. Let him know we are praying for him as many prayed for my brother's head injury. Keep them lifted up in hope and to fear not.
Amen
