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 Jesusintheboat on September 1, 2018 at 2:09pm: That is wonderful John and Yvonne . Praise God!!! I am interested in the book, let us know when it comes out and the title .

Comment by John and Yvonne on September 1, 2018 at 11:15am: Blondie,

The verse you quoted in Jeremiah 29:11 was the verse that was given to us before the Lord gave us the vision for the ministry we now have here in Virginia Beach...long before it happened and we moved from Colorado to here over 18 years ago! Since we moved here and opened our home to minister to the Sailors, Marines and Soldiers, we have had 565 military men and women come through our home. Part of the vision was the Lord telling us to "write down the revelation(vision) and make it plain on tablets so that a herald(whoever reads it) may run with it". So we have written a book all about our lives and ministry here so that others may read it and might have the same burden to reach out to military men and women, inviting them into their homes and making them part of their family, in areas where there are military bases and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them . The book is finished and will most likely go up for publication in about two weeks! Praise the Lord!

Yvonne and John

Comment by Navymom2 on August 31, 2018 at 5:23pm: Amen and Amen! Thank you Sister.

Comment by Blondie on August 31, 2018 at 3:24pm: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness. John 12:46

Thank you Father, You are an Amazing God. Please watch over our Service men and women. Show them Your Ways. Thank you Jesus for coming down to earth and becoming man. For being our "Light, our way and our truth". May all our children Believe. Holy Spirit come into our lives and those of our children, be our conscience, be our Guide. Show us the path to take so we can follow the Plan. We Praise you in the Trinity for ever and ever.

Comment by Jesusintheboat on August 29, 2018 at 12:51pm: Thank you for that Navymom2

Comment by Blondie on August 29, 2018 at 11:52am: AMEN!

Comment by Navymom2 on August 29, 2018 at 11:07am: Sharing this from my morning devotion:

"For You will light my lamp; The LORD my GOD will enlighten my darkness. As for GOD, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; HE is a shield to all who trust in HIM". Psalms 18:28,30

Thank you GOD for your mercy, love, compassion; and for carrying us when needed. I need you every second of everyday. Praise you my dear LORD and SAVIOUR. In Jesus name, Amen.

Comment by Blondie on August 29, 2018 at 10:17am: Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.” Ephesians 5:2 (MSG)

John 13:34, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (NIV)

Lord, I want to love like Jesus. I want to love without being cautious. Help me give myself to others. Fill me with Your Spirit every moment of every day to love like that. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
