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."

We've been on Navy4moms.com for about two years now, back when they only had 5,000 members. Let me introduce ourselves.
Yvonne and I met when I was a seaman in the Navy when I was 19 (1970). You do the math. :) She was a hostess at a Christian servicemen's center in California called the Port O Call. It was there I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I was going to Electronics Technician "A" School at Treasure Island, CA.
I spent 10 years enlisted (6 on active duty and then 4 in the reserves). I never got past Third Class - no motivation! I was stationed in Hawaii.
When I got off active duty I went to Bible college and seminary and then got commissioned as a Navy chaplain. I spent 7 years as a chaplain in the reserves and then went back on active duty for three years (Hawaii again!).
We've pastored in Maine and Colorado then moved to Virginia Beach to minister to the military in 2000.
Yvonne and I open our home to young servicemen and women on the weekends doing all kinds of stuff like playing board games, miniature golfing, concerts, Civil War Reenactments, etc. Pictures and stories are on our profile page here, on our web site, and on our blog.
If your sons or daughters would like a home away from home we would love to invite them over. Sunday after church Yvonne makes a big home cooked meal (she's a great cook) and we eat, fellowship, do some Bible study, watch television, or just hang out.
