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."

Hi all. My son will be leaving for bc on 8-2. I was looking for another group to join; I scanned a few of the posts & I think this might be the place. So far I have found the support from N4M's to be AMAZING. And I know that no matter what; God has a plan!

This is a link to a US Navy Rosary for those who are interested. My husband and sons bought this for me for Mother's Day this year. I was so excited and pleased with it.
The picture is accurate. It is sterling silver and the beads are blue like the water around Hawaii.
It is not cheap, but is worth the money if you have it. I also googled "Navy Rosary" and found several links to people and stores that have them. I found them as inexpensive as $10. Hope you are able to find one if interested.

I am asking for prayer. My daughter left 7/7 with PIR 9/2. I am so incredibly proud of her, and know God is in control, and loves her more than I do. I am really having a hard time not being able to communicate with her. My partner tells me that she is taken care of, and fed and if anything is wrong or she is hurt, I will be notified. I know he is right, and I trust in God. I just cry, and hope she isn't sad, or hungry, or sick, or whatever. I told Brian I need to have my cell phone surgically implanted on my hip. I guess I just a sense of peace. thank you so much. This is so much harder than I could have ever imagined

I found out the names and addresses of the family members of these 2 soldiers in another group. Their names are:
Russell Byrd and Ryan Hildinger
Please pray for them and their families along with the other sailors in their classes. I know they are all suffering.

I know I don't post often on this group, but I need your prayers today. Not for me, but for the families of two young sailors who took their own lives this week at A-School in Goose Creek, SC. I still can't get my arms around it, it has just stunned me. If you need more info, go to either: Nuke Moms or Nuke School Charleston group.

Marie - So sorry to hear what your daughter is going through. I will definitely keep her in my prayers. Will also pray for justice to prevail in her case.
