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."

I will most certainly pray to Him tonight that your cousin, her fiance and the salesman recover from the horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to you and their families. I'm so sorry.

Comment by Ann on October 25, 2011 at 1:59am: thank you!!! I am not a "religious" person either...but I do believe in the good Lord...just not necessarily the whole church aspect...not saying its a bad thing...just dont think we HAVE to attend to get to heaven....anyways...please do pray...my heart is breaking for these two kids, and for my kids whom have broken hearts as well...its a mother's worst nightmare what is happening...and second worse is probably having to see them hurt as bad as they are right now....

Comment by Mom of a Corpsman on October 25, 2011 at 9:39am: Amen

Comment by Batmansmom531 on October 25, 2011 at 11:46am: I am a firm believer in the power of prayer..9 years ago today, my husband was in a horrible accident that almost took his life. Today he has numerous medical problems, and the psychological, emotional, physical and cognitive challenges are numerous. Prayer is what spared his life and faith is what keeps he and I standing. We are the children of a King....in his infinite mercy and wisdom we must abide. I pray for a speedy recovery....

Comment by Yesenia0815 on October 25, 2011 at 2:13pm: my prayers will go out for them, but why were the test driving a car so late at night, ( 1245am?)
