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 April 27, 2009 at 8:46pm: Also, my son Allen just informed me today via text message, he is coming home to visit May 25th. Please pray for his safe travel. He is bringing home a Marine friend with him. I am so EXCITED to see him. It has been almost a year since I have seen him. Thank you so much for all your thoughts & prayers.

Dear Lord, I also am praying for Allen & Jordan and their safe travel home to Michigan. Allow all of these things to work out for Your praise & glory. Amen

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on April 27, 2009 at 8:40pm: May I please ask for you all to pray for my daughter, Alison? She lives in Arkansas and my SIL is deployed to Afghanistan until June. She is going through some very tough and scary health issues right now. I live in Michigan and may need to take a trip to Arkansas to help her out. Please pray for her health, ability to handle this & God to work out my being able to take time off work if she needs me to go to her.

Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you to ask for your loving care & comfort for Ali in this health situation she is going through. You know what she is feeling & what she is dealing with, please give her the, strength & comfort that You are there with her. Help the doctor to be able to find out what it is that is causing the problems Ali is experiencing. Also, comfort Luke in Afghanistan while he is not able to be here with Ali to support her. Bring him home safely and surround him and his squadron with Your loving comfort and protection. I also ask that you give me the wisdom to do what I need to do to be able to be of any and all help for Ali. If I am needed in Arkansas to help with Ali and the girls, please guide and direct me on what I need to do. Thank you Lord God for always being here when we need you and for allowing us to come to you personally to ask for your help and comfort.

I also pray for all the others here on this website and all the military families. We all have our own requests and needs. Please hear us all and guide & comfort us all. Thank you Father. Amen

One day I went down to his room, and realized there was no longer any scent of young man down there. Just as I was sighing, there was the Casting Crowns! God placed it there just as I needed it, and I have listened to it many days.

thanks for health prayers everyone. Today was my best date of the week!

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 26, 2009 at 5:18pm: Personal request. I have asthma, and have developed bronchitis. Need to be well to fly to sailor's wedding soon. Please pray for medical relief. Don't want another case of pneumonia. Thanks

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 20, 2009 at 9:01pm: Michelle, you are on our prayer list at church. Please know that we have some mighty prayer warriors here and at church. And know that we truly care about you, your recruit Mike and your son. And may God guide you medical care and be victorious! Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 18, 2009 at 2:23pm: Alisa
You will definitely be in our prayers. Take care of yourself and know that all your emotions are still a gift from God.

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 17, 2009 at 6:36pm: Dear God
Thanks for the sunshine today. It was needed very much. After a day like this, coming home and cutting the grass, and just watching the dogs play, I can tolerate the rain expected to come. You are so good to us, God.
Thank you
Amen

Comment by Cheryl Proud to be Allen's Mom on April 17, 2009 at 8:58am: Dear Heavenly Father I pray for all those who are on this website & their families. Guide & protect each and everyone and all of our military. You know my hearts desire and my thoughts and prayers for loving protection. Thank you Father God for being there always when we need you and even when we don't. Praise & Honor to Your name. Amen

Comment by carols_kitchen on April 16, 2009 at 11:17pm: Dearest God
Thank you for guiding my husband and me through his medical scare. We praise the care he received in the hospital, and the tests and lab results that show he just experienced a severe blood pressure change, and not a heart attack or stroke.
To you be the glory and honor, dear Lord
Amen
