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 John and Yvonne on October 8, 2015 at 9:28pm: We're glad to be part of a group with so many moms and dads of faith! My husband and I live in Virginia Beach, VA.-we have for the past 15 years! We came here for the express purpose to open our home and invite sailors, soldiers and marines to come over on the weekends. We feed them and play board games with them and sometimes do special activities like attending re-enactments, go to Williamsburg-especially on Veterans Day weekend(it's free for all military) and we have a great time seeing history alive. :). John is a retired Navy Chaplain. He spent 10 years enlisted and 10 years as a Chaplain. So the military is in our hearts and souls. We even met at a Christian Servicemen's Center in California. :)

Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and trust him to keep your sons and daughters in his care. :)

Comment by Joe&NatesMom on October 8, 2015 at 1:08pm: Hello all from Mcsherrystown, PA!! I was looking for a Catholic Moms group and couldn't find one. Faith is an important part of my families life, so I am glad that I found this group of Moms. I have two Sailors...one in Norfolk and my baby is in Rota Spain. We are a Military family for sure. I retired after serving 23 years in the Army. I have 2 stepsons that served 4 and 6 years in the Army also. If it weren't for the grace of God, I don't know how we would have made it this far. My husband didn't serve, but was the backbone of this family, and made sure everything...even when it felt overwhelming and out of control...went according to our life plan. I credit God for giving him the strength to handle such a crazy life!

Gods blessings to all...have a wonderful day

Comment by Dragonfly on May 14, 2015 at 8:33am: Prayers for our kids that will start there 4th week which I hear is the hardest. God give them strength!

Comment by Gmans/Mom on March 20, 2015 at 2:53am: My son will be leaving for BC on 4.15.15. From Houston. I know God's got this but I continue to pray for his walk with The Lord to grow stronger everyday. My husband, daughter, and myself have never been away from him like this. His excitement makes it easier, however; I can't imagine his absence and missing his presence in our home. God please be with him everyday and all the other recruits and cover our entire military with your protective hedge. #proudtexasmomma #sisterinchrist

Comment by Cowboys on February 9, 2015 at 3:36pm: Prayers for my son, who has just began his A school @ South Carolina.

Comment by MomofHAN on June 10, 2014 at 5:32pm: My son shipped to GL yesterday for BC. So proud of the work God is doing in his life, but really miss him. Praying for the entire Navy :)

Comment by J's Mom on January 26, 2014 at 4:35pm: Hello. My sailor is training to be an RP. Pray for him to get closed to Jesus and do what Jesus wants him to do? Thanks. May all of the Christian sailors make a difference where they are stationed.

Comment by BronxNYNewNavyMOM on January 14, 2014 at 3:20pm: Hello. My son has been in GL since July. During basic training he attended service on Sundays. Now he is in ATT and will be in GL til next year. He came home for the holidays and attended service with us but is not attending in GL. I would like to know if someone's son/daughter can invite him to service in GL base if they have. We are contemporary Christians. We attend a bible based church. We listen to preachers like Chuck Swindoll and Pastor James MacDonald...Thank you and God bless!
