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."

Please pray for my son's friend, Ron S.a marine, who is fighting for his life tonight. His convoy in Afganistan was hit by an IED bomb and he is the only survivor of 8 marines. He is from Corpus Christi and went to school with my son. We heard tonight. God Bless him and his family. Kathy

Please pray for all the families & recruits who left for boot camp this week. Also, in the last week or so several recruits have been sent home for various reasons, some of which are reasons that it seems should have been caught at MEPS. Please pray for those families & the recruits. I know there must be a reason (for He always has a plan).

Just received an email from my sailor. First one in several weeks. He is on deployment. Hope everything is well with all of you!
