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."

Woke up to hear about a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. My son had already sent an email. Yes, they felt this one but they are all okay. Again, thank you Lord and we pray that You please continue your protective hedge around all our sailors!
I just heard on the news that all military personnel are accounted for. We cannot stop praying for them and each other. :)

I heard it as soon as I woke up. My son thankfully called an hour later. Msmom - he was w/your son when I asked about the earthquake, so he asked him if he knew about it - neither one of them did! Said it was a nice sunny day - thank you Lord for your protection around all our sailors!
