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 May 17, 2009 at 9:36am: Dear Lord God, please watch over me in my travels home to Michigan, Tuesday, May 19th. Please watch over Allen's travels to Michigan on Thursday, May 21st. Surround both of us protective bands of angels to guide and protect us. Thank you Father God for all that you have done for us, are doing for us and have yet to do for us. Please touch all those on this site and answer their prayer requests as only you can do. This we pray in your blessed and holy name, Amen.

Today I ask you to lift up my sailor's good friend, Jake, who has been waiting months to hear if he will be accepted into the Air Force. He got another call from his recruiter yesterday. I pray that Jake be found sound of body and mind and of one spirit. May he be chosen to serve his country. May he continue to be healthy and happy. Most of all, may the love of all my mother friends be with him.
Amen

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on May 4, 2009 at 3:31pm: Dear Heavenly Father, please make the doctors listen to Ali when she goes to the GI doctor appt tomorrow. Please allow them to find that it is her gall bladder that is causing all the problems. Open his ears, eyes and mind to listen to her symptoms and the family history that is leading us to believe it is her gall bladder. Please comfort Ali through all of this. Thank you Father for your loving care. Amen

Comment by Mari on May 2, 2009 at 6:51pm: Would like to ask my prayers partners to pray for one of our teachers in GL naval base whose grandfather had a stroke this past week and is not doing very well.

Comment by carols_kitchen on May 2, 2009 at 4:37pm: Dear Lord
As I was in our church prayer vigil, it once again amazed me at all the prayers you answer. I sat by the window, and watched the blackbirds gleaning for food through the newly moan yard. The parent bird who was in the eaves has not been evicted from our church grounds, even though it has no other way to pay for blessings. The people who drove by we blessed for safety on the road, and prayers for those who are unchurched. As we stopped and prayed at each doorway of our church offices and Sunday School class rooms, the power of your strength and faith was shown to us.
Thank you God
Amen

You know our prayers before we even say them. Please be with all the shipmates of the USS Stennis as they deal with the recent loss of one of their own. Be with the sailor's family and uphold them through this difficult time. We pray for the safety of all our military.

Please with Cheryl, Alison and her husband who cannot be with her. They need your prayers of medical guidance, of support and of care and concern.

Thank you for the praise of Allen and grant traveling mercies to him and his friend. May they have a chance to relax and recharge in the love of those in their family.

In Jesus Name we pray
Amen
