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 Blondie on August 17, 2018 at 10:06am: Hugs loulou. It's so hard being away from them when they are sick and hurting. Remember God is with him Always. He got through the running thing, he'll get through this too. A lot of them have their wisdom teeth taken out at BC. So don't let this trouble your mind. Turn to the Lord ask for his Peace.

Father I bring loulou to you, give her Peace. We ask also that you look after her son. Shine in his heart and give him the strength, courage and wisdom he needs. We know you have a plan for each one of us. Open our eyes Lord and Lead us. Through Christ our Lord, Amen

Comment by Blondie on August 17, 2018 at 9:54am: . . . whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent and praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8
Jesus, I pray that you would shield my mind from harmful, violent thoughts and help me to dwell on your beauty. Amen

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV)

Lord, thank You for Your patience with me. You are never in a rush when I come to You. Help me turn to You more often and invite Your Spirit to work through me. Bringing a calmness I desperately need. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Comment by Jesusintheboat on August 16, 2018 at 2:29pm: Welcome loulou to the Navy Prayer Wall

Comment by Blondie on August 16, 2018 at 1:16pm: [Jesus said,] “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.”
John 14:1

Comment by Blondie on August 15, 2018 at 3:11pm: Hi GamedayJ, any special prayer needs? I Loved that saying Thank you! So True.

Comment by Jesusintheboat on August 15, 2018 at 10:07am: Thank you for sharing that GamedayJ

Comment by GamedayJ on August 15, 2018 at 10:05am: Praying for all of our children in RTC. Always on my mind and in my prayers. Found this saying the other day "While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about". (Angela Schwindt) This just touches me as a mother.

Comment by Jesusintheboat on August 15, 2018 at 9:59am: Welcome GameDayJ to the Navy Prayer Wall

Comment by Jesusintheboat on August 15, 2018 at 9:54am: Thank you Blondie - needed that today

Comment by Blondie on August 15, 2018 at 9:44am: “But Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant.’” Matthew 20:25-26 (NLT)

Lord, I thank You for giving us a different way to view leadership. I pray You give us all a heart to serve others. I pray we can utilize the gifts the Holy Spirit has given each one of us to not only help our fellow humans, but to point people to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
