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."

Thanks to the many moms and more that are here and ready to help when a sailor is in need! It is amazing to know that no matter where our sailors travel in the United States there is a mom there ready to rescue them with a hot meal, place to stay, or help to get back on the road!

To be added to the list send me (Susan mom to Niko) a friend request. Then you can send me a private message with your name, location and phone number. Then you are added to the list!

Comment by Lynda on October 31, 2011 at 9:59am: brittney216 - you should also put your request on the texas moms page . . . I'm sure there is someone close to you. I'm in Oregon, otherwise I would be right there. Good Luck.

Comment by mamawalrus on October 31, 2011 at 12:47am: I am not sure who is maintaining this site per say but there is a FB site called "Freedom Remembered that list the casualty's of all the Military Branches and also has great links. If all of us who check in here can also check there, we can list some of the Navy deaths that are combat and non combat related. This will be great so we can at least send cards and pray for them. If you google the name of the fallen, you can find the link for the obituary, where an online guest book is on there to sign.

Ladies, I spoke with Sean recently and he is really overwhelmed by the outpouring from everyone. He is thinking about how everyone can best help him and will let me know within a day or two. Thank you for your continued prayers

just wanted to pass this on.

Comment by AngiePNMx2 15 hours ago REYNOLDS UPDATE (9/15/11):
I just finished speaking with the church and funeral has been set for

MONDAY, SEPT 19 at 2:00pm
Emmanuel Baptist Church, 307 Elm Street - Pittsburg, TX 75686
903-856-3411

They are still working on the arrangements for a meal after the service. The secretary will call me tomorrow letting me know if/how we can help.
I also spoke with Sean's uncle. He was at work and unable to talk, but promised to call me back this evening or tomorrow. He did say that there was and Sean will have some financial stability. There IS a place where monetary contributions can be sent, but he did not have that information with him. I'll get that when he calls me.

He did say that Sean is still in shock. He also told me his OWN son is a sailor, who is crushed by this because he has no brothers, so Sean and Joachim were like his brothers, "living" at each other's houses as close cousins do. His son is upset because (not being "immediate" family) he must return to ship in two days, unable to be at the funeral.

He also wants to assure everyone that Sean has a strong, supportive family and will be shepherded through the overwhelming months (years?) ahead of him. He was grateful to hear of everyone's prayers and sympathies.

Please hold onto any checks or donations for just a little while longer, until we know the best place to send them. I know we want to show him how loved he is, but we also want to make this time as easy for him as possible. Thank you again for letting me help with this, and for your compassionate hearts.

Comment by Nan(Ship 9 Div 247) on September 15, 2011 at 10:50am: Thank you Kelly for Sean's address. I will send him a card also. I hope knowing that so many Navy Moms are thinking of him will help somehow.

Comment by Rhonda8881 on September 13, 2011 at 10:05pm: I will add Sean to the prayer list at my church also. The only way to get through this situation is Faith and having loving and supportive extended family and friends. God, please send your angels to wrap this sailor in their wings of comfort. Bless him with Your Comfort and Mercy.

Comment by MissMySailor on September 13, 2011 at 8:43pm: OMG the story about Sean is the most horrible thing I ever read. How do you recover from some thing like this? I will pray God will be there for him. I hope he has a church he goes to so he has a priest to talk to. We recently had a death in the family my son was so lost and devistated. Once he got home and went to church and talked to the pastor he just seemed more at peace.

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on September 13, 2011 at 8:29pm: I posted Sean's info on Christian Chat, they have been praying for him too.

Comment by duhhuh58 Ship 10/Div 267 on September 13, 2011 at 7:46pm: i can't even imagine the pain that young man is going thru. my thoughts and prayers are with him
