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 KatK on June 20, 2009 at 8:26am: Pray for the sailors on the USS John McCain possibly going after the North Korean ship.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 16, 2009 at 8:48pm: Marie: Yes, you both must be terrified. Remember one thing though, spend as much time together as you can. She doesn't need much in boot camp, she just needs your love and support right now. And if you calm down and relax so will she. Tell her I would have much rather had a last minute call then to watch my Sailor go through "counting down the days". It takes a toll on them when they are in DEP that long and they know that day is coming. Blessings to both of you and pop in here as much as you need to. We're here for you. Just love her to pieces while you have her... :)

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 16, 2009 at 3:01pm: Just found this:

Religious medals represent the faith and belief of a person. Medals are usually metal tokens which feature a unique significance. Religious medals characterize the symbols and practices which reflect the belief of a particular religion. Religious medals are common in polytheistic beliefs like Hinduism. Catholics also give special importance to religious medals. The medals are also prevalent in other religious societies such as Buddhism.

Comment by KatK on June 16, 2009 at 12:58pm: I didn't like the name change either but at least we didn't have to get rid of the picture of the St. Michael's medal. I think that will be a sign for any Catholic that is looking for a Catholic group. I don't think any of the other religions wear religious medals for saints. My son wears that exact medal as well as his St. Matthew medal.

Comment by Lois C T(momma T) on June 14, 2009 at 4:32pm: I have not been on in a while, so I am surprised to see the new name!
I have read "The Shack" twice, I think it is amazing. I also have passed around to everyone I know!

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on June 11, 2009 at 9:35pm: Are the public libraries carrying the book?

Comment by KatK on June 11, 2009 at 9:01am: Great! This group has been so supportive of each other I don't think we will have any problems at all. I love coming here because I know I can count on these ladies.

Comment by Navy for Moms Admin on June 11, 2009 at 6:47am: Kat -
As a title of a group, no, but you can state that you are a Catholic or that you're posting a Catholic prayer. As long as you stay true to the purpose of this group as a prayer/support group and do not belittle others for their beliefs if different or claim superiority, the group can stay and I don't think you'll have any issues.

Comment by KatK on June 11, 2009 at 12:21am: Is the word Catholic not permitted? I am afraid that someone will come to the site not knowing it is basically a Catholic site and take offense. Then we will be in the same boat the political sites are in with the reporting and name calling. It seems that since we all have family members in the military we should be each other's support but when it comes to religion and politics that NEVER happens.
