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 November 24, 2009 at 11:36pm: May I just ditto Seabee Mom Wanda's prayer? You all keep safe.

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 23, 2009 at 5:07pm: Brittany-- we are with you. Grandparents, if you are lucky enough to have them, are wonderful. Keep the memories in your heart and love your grandfather all you can.

Blondie--that family is in my prayers, too. So sad.

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 22, 2009 at 1:29pm: A-s step mom: You never lose track when bringing a prayer for us to send to God. He knows our needs, but more so, He needs us to speak it out.
Our hearts of love are with you.

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 21, 2009 at 11:57pm: From one of my favorite Christian Rock Singers, Rich Mullins

"You was a baby like I was once
You was cryin` in the early mornin`
You was born in a stable Lord
Reid Memorial is where I was born
They wrapped You in swaddling clothes
Me they dressed in baby blue

But I was twelve years old in the meeting house
Listening to the old men pray
And I was tryin` hard to figure out
What it was that they was tryin` to say
There You were in the temple
They said You weren`t old enough
To know the things You knew

Well did You grow up hungry
Did You grow up fast
Did the little girls giggle when You walked past
Did You wonder what it was that made them laugh
And did they tell You stories `bout the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make a man walk straight

And You was a boy like I was once
But was You a boy like me
Well I grew up around Indiana
You grew up around Galilee
And if I ever really do grow up
Lord I want to grow up and be just like You

Well did You wrestle with a dog and lick his nose
Did You play beneath the spray of a water hose
Did You ever make angels in the winter snow
And did they tell You stories `bout the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make a man walk straight

Did You ever get scared playing hide and seek
Did You try not to cry when You scraped Your knee
Did You ever skip a rock across a quiet creek
And did they tell You stories `bout the saints of old
Stories about their faith
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make a man walk straight

And I really may just grow up and be like You someday"

Comment by prov2324mom on November 21, 2009 at 3:36pm: Hi all,
Just a quick request. My son who's still a Depper is running the JFK 50 Mile ultra marathon today and is struggling a bit at mile 35. I would appreciate any prayers you could send his way.
Thanks and God Bless

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on November 20, 2009 at 9:40am: Thank you Lord for being with my youngest sailor...continue to guard him with waring in ministring angels...Speak to him in his sleep of the great plans you have for him and give confidence to persue on...I continue to plead your precious blood over him..Thank you Lord you are our ever present help! I Love you Lord and thank that you hear the cries of a mom's troubled and hurtin heart for her children....Amen!!
This song seems to be my theme song and brings me great comfort
