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 Melissa (Tucson) on August 24, 2008 at 10:37pm: Carolyn: Did your parish receive a call from the Navy regarding your son's standing? I worked as the Pastor's secretary for years.

Comment by Sylvia on August 21, 2008 at 1:01am: Thank you ladies, it is so comforting to hear your thoughts and know that you understand exactly how I feel. Its not sadness I feel, its a wonderful feeling that my son feels his faith is important. Tears of joy...He asked me to send him verses to read. Wow, God works in amazing ways!

Comment by Sylvia on August 20, 2008 at 1:14am: Hello ladies, I'm so glad I found this group. My son's first letter said he had gone to Mass on Sunday but it wasn't the same without his family and those who love him. I kept praying last Sunday as I sat in Mass that he keeps strong in his faith. My prayers go out to all of you in the path of Fay.........

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on July 23, 2008 at 9:15pm: Bless again this day the mysterious computer
which awaits your power and my human effort.
Grant wisdom, knowledge and a clear memory to my mind
as I sit before this new creature of your infinite power.
Bless my heart with endless patience whenever needed.
Guide my hands that I may be your faithful servant in every key I press.
Enable my limited efforts to bring glory to your Name
and blessings to your people everywhere.
Delete me not from your Kingdom
and save me from all fear and from all error of sin and ignorance.

I whisper this prayer, mindful of the needs of all with whom and for whom I work,
through the power of your Word and the life-giving energy of your Spirit.

Amen.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on July 17, 2008 at 4:05pm: I worked at my parish for 4 years and one of the many things I did was ordering all kinds of religious supplies for everyone, from the pastor to the religious education department to the youth minister. One of my most frequently visited websites is Autom.com. I even ordered our palms and ashes from them! They have great prices and if you email them you can get on their catalog list. They have some very inexpensive stuff (molded plastic from China) that is great for large groups or kids and they also carry some high quality stuff. If you don't see what you want, just call them or email them. Happy shopping fellow Catholics! Peace and Blessings to each of you and your families....M

Comment by Mari on April 23, 2008 at 9:27pm: I was wondering if there is a place where we can check what time the masses are on Sunday at BC.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on April 22, 2008 at 3:29pm: Hi Catholic Moms!
That's wonderful that your sailors are going to mass. I don't think my son has gone since he's been there. But he's on my daily prayer list, so maybe he'll try and hook up when he gets to San Diego.
