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."

Have a Blessed Holy week!

I do not know what format the service will follow on Palm Sunday and Easter. I know there are several different services for the different faiths, so would think that the traditional liturgy for each faith's service.

My son is currently at Boot Camp and will be there for Palm Sunday and Easter.  Does anyone know if they will offer a mass for Palm Sunday and Easter which follow the same liturgy normally celebrated in a parish?  Thanks so much and God Bless!

new navy mom. my daughter graduated from boot camp oct 2011. she just recently got accepted into ocs and will be going to rhode island in june 2012. she is very excited. she was raised in the church and it is my prayer that she does not place God second to anything. prayers that she keep Him first in all things as well as every other sailor and soldier in the military. so glad to be a part of this group. be blessed...

Please say a quick prayer for my son.  We found out today that he has a wart on his foot and may possibly be discharged because he is approaching his 1 year mark in DEP.  He still has a shot if his wart can be treated again next Thursday and then MEPs sign off on the following Tuesday.  He would then leave for BC on early March.  Please pray that God will guide this process and that His will is done.  Thanks for the prayers!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Thank you to all for sharing your sons and daughters with us through the US Navy!  God Bless.
