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."

For some reason, I can't seem to send any personal msgs on this site.  I don't mean to ignore people, but there is some kind of problem sending the messages.  It lets me write them, but not send!  Hmmm.

Thank you ladies for all of your support, and for the prayers Willsmom!

No phone call yet, No news is good news! As long as the whole division is doing great, that's what matters!

I love you all!

Beautiful Willsmom, that's about the best we can all do, pray and have faith :-)
Comment by Willsmom on June 18, 2011 at 6:29am
Good Morning!  Continuing to lift up all of our SRs in prayer, as well as all of our Navy wives, Moms and families.  Joels Rackie, praying that your FIL will be able to come for PIR, that God will give you the strength to work as much as you have been.  Tickled, continuing to pray for you and your precious little baby.  All who haven't gotten a call, praying that God will make an opportunity for them to call.  Praying for us all, because I know we all need it!  God will give us not only strength, but peace!
Comment by TickledTink on June 18, 2011 at 4:29am
Well I know that sometimes when you got a call on Saturday, Rackie, I would get mine on Sunday  So maybe Joel will be calling you this weekend?
Comment by navymommo on June 18, 2011 at 12:16am
Amen Ssy a prayer now!!
Comment by Lisa on June 17, 2011 at 11:24pm

Chris said it's been hard but the division is doing well...I know there's a good reason they didn't call. I think we should use that power of prayer navymommo suggested earlier and as a group really pray for our SR's. For encouragement, for their health, and for the success of the division as a whole.
