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."

Deborah, please know that we will be praying and thinking of your Mom and your family especially tomorrow. Colleen, how are you doing? I know how hard it must be knowing that you are miles aways from being with your cousins family and your husband's family. Did you contact the Ombudsman? I know they will know how to help you contact Aaron and give you any support you and your family need. They are a really special and unique group of women and wives.Love & Prayers To You All.

I can't imagine, Colleen. I am praying for you and your family.  I am in emotional limbo myself anticipating my mom's surgery tomorrow.  We are going to have *laying on of hands* today at my mom's church. My church is earlier so I will go to both services.  I hope we will spend family time afterwards. I have tomorrow off for Lincoln's birthday but will play it by ear if I will go to work on Tuesday.  Thanks all of you for your prayers.

My sister-in-law passed away yesterday.  It's unbelievable that two of our family members died this week.  I am very bummed, yet grateful for the Lord's strength and support of friends.  Susan, I wanted to tell you that I feel as though I have known you for a long time, like we have always been friends.  Thanks to everyone for being here.  I picture us in a large, comfortable room with soft chairs, pretty rugs, a fireplace, just talking like we are now.  It's a sweet picture.

I have to call the Red Cross to tell them about our relatives.

Susan, for some reason my email isn't working to send.  My response is:  go with your gut.

Hi Again, I was just checking my e-mail from a couple of days ago, and there is a really nice newslwtter that the Ombudsman sent out to the phone tree. It is loaded with information and a letter sent to the wives from the Commander. If any of you want it forwarded, just let me know I can send it to your personal e-mail account.

Ok, sorry about my last sentence, I must have somehow hit the comment button before I was finished. Actually my computer is on slow motion and acting a little crazy right now. But as I was saying, Just before Jonathan came home, he added this huge design around the Bear and Lion representing an Irish Crest. I was not to happy when I saw how much he added. I just shook me head as well.Deborah, I guess you will be pretty busy this weekend being with your mom. Thank goodness all of us believe in the power of prayer b/c we sure do send out all of our prayers for each other.God Bless All of You

Hello To Everyone, I just got back from being wih my parents for a couple days. Gee everyone has news to tell. First of all Colleen, I am sorry to hear about your cousin. I know how much you were hoping to see her when you go out to California this summer.I pray and hope her children will get through this terrible loss of theirs.Sally, I had to read your first couple of sentences twice too. Is there a chance you could fly out to see him before he heads back to the boat?That would be awesome. I am sorry to hear he got so sick though. Was it a flu?AND speaking of Tatttoos, Christopher doesn't have any, BUT my youngest son had a big one placed on his upper back 2 months before he went to Boot camp in the Air Force. A Bear and a Lion. And then just beofre he came ho
