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 Sugar02 on August 15, 2011 at 10:10am: willoSailorMom - I just sent you a private message. Thanks!

Comment by KatK on August 14, 2011 at 7:49pm: Yes, get him a passport. This way if he wants to travel to other countries he will be able to do it.

Comment by Sugar02 on August 14, 2011 at 7:43pm: My son is going to Yokuska in November - and he currently does not have a passport. They told him at Greatl Lakes is was recommended, but not required that he get one. He is currently at home for a week - should we make it a priority to get him a passport? This will be his last chance before he goes to Japan. Let me know what you think would be best for him. Thanks!

Comment by tesla was right on August 13, 2011 at 9:44am: Blondie-for Heath's mom

continued prayers for Heath and fam, it sounds generally better than yesterday but still watch and wait and pray for him. we have added many others to pray for Heath.

as regards help, it is so hard for our kids to accept help, but if it is moving or anything I can rally my son and his buddies in their 'off' time when they return to port. and I'm sure that whoever is in port now would rally to help move, pack, buy food, whatever. the navy has its limitations (taking orders) but you have a huge community that will step up like family if at all possible. talk to the chaplain of his ship or base and others who might be in a position to assist.

soup, protein, liquids, rest--antibiotics can really wipe a person out and cause them to lose weight. don't push it, and we are still praying here for a healthy transfer stateside. pls keep us updated.

thank you blondie! bless you all!

Comment by Amazonmom on August 12, 2011 at 10:28am: Adding my prayers to those for Heath and also for the families of the Navy Seals who were killed recently in Afghanistan.

Comment by tesla was right on August 9, 2011 at 10:49am: Prayers for sailor Heath and family, guide the doctors, gentle the nurses, cleanse his body of the infection and strengthen him for wholeness. Amen

Comment by nolanavymom on July 27, 2011 at 11:12pm: Prayers for Heath and his family tonite from a New Orleans Navy Mom. My boss often reminds me that ..... God is Faithful. This will be my mantra tonite for Heath. God Bless.

Comment by bubsmom on July 27, 2011 at 10:18am: God is so good - taking care of needs before we know it! :) Blessings for Heath's surrogate momma and continued prayer for his continued recovery and his parents being able to be w/him very soon.

Thank you, Blondie for the updates.

Comment by mdubtxmom(Ship 09 Div 069) on July 26, 2011 at 11:53pm: We are praying for Heath and for traveling mercies for Robin. We know that God hears the prayers of his people. Please keep us updated. Stay Navy strong!
