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 19, 2009 at 6:48pm: You all have me in goosebumps again. How glorious is our God when we listen and follow his word. Blessings to each and everyone of you.

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 18, 2009 at 5:20pm: Oh Angie-- I got such goosebumps in the way you said "whisper in his ears how much you love him."
I think that is just how much we need to keep that old ear wax out of our ears to be able to listen.
I pray that your sailor will be open and aware of the words of strength sent to him. As I do for all our sailors, troops and families.

Comment by AngiePNMx2 on November 18, 2009 at 9:47am: Lord I just ask that you be with my youngest sailor in A-school...encourage him help him to gain confidence... be with him as he retakes a test provide him with the knowledge that he has to go fromhis brain to the test ....protect him from the schemes of the enemy that want to destroy him...whisper in his ears your love for him and how special he is to you Lord...I plead the blood of Jesus over him fromthe top his head to soul of his feet. I come against the spirit of depression and that he would only hear what God wants him to hear and what God has for him...The music he listens to is negative ...I pray that he would not listen to it and his hears would be closed to that negative messages..

In Jesus Mighty,Powerful and Healing name!!

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 17, 2009 at 5:53pm: Got a new pin to wear. It says
I don't believe in miracles,
I DEPEND upon them.

You are all miracles to me with your open hearts and faith. God bless!

Comment by jean on November 16, 2009 at 10:00pm: Praying the Lord's prayer for my son and for a wonderful Christian wife for him to marry some day.

Thank you for sharing, even though this is indeed sad news. Let us all lift up the family of Lance Corporal Shawn Hefner.

Eternal God
You have received one of our best again. Please comfort Patrick and Robin and all those who love Shawn. Enfold them in your arms of comfort. Keep them healthy during these days of sadness.
May we all be guided to help find peace in the world.
Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 15, 2009 at 12:33pm: Dear God
My co-worker, Angie, just called in need of prayers. They rushed her husband, Steve, to the ER with heart attack symptoms. Please enfold both in your arms as you lead the medical team in his care.
Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on November 12, 2009 at 12:06pm: Carolyn, I found hospice to be a gift for both my brother and my mom. My brother was seriously injured in a work accident, and my mom had COPD and just lost the will to live after my brother died.
I hope and pray you find comfort knowing that your loved one in hospice gives you the gift of God.
