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."

asking for some prayers!!!
Ok...navy moms...this ISN't in regards to a sailor or soon to be...but please continue to read for these 3 people need our prayers and I am trying to get as many people praying as I can!!!
On Sat, Oct 22 at 1245am, my 19 year old cousin Ashley and her 23 year old fiance Craig were test driving a car with a salesman in the backseat.......little did they no that this would end in the nightmare of their lives........
A semi failed to yield on a country road and and Craig was unable to stop.........
He ran up under the semi...
Craig and Ash have both suffered terrible head injuries and are in the ICU in springfield illinois...both are on life support...the salesman in the backseat has a crushed pelvis...he came off the vent today....
these are just their worst injuries...
please friends
take the time out of your day and pray for my young cousin, her fiance, and the salesman...
My heart is breaking for their parents, and also for my children who are also very close friends to both ash and craig...

Oh...and Corwin (the salesman) is doing great...he is getting ready to go to another hospital to start rehab...

Update....Craig is doing MUCH better...still very weak and very tired...but has been communicating with everyone and seems to be doing well other than some short term memory loss at this time...he is in a C-collar for his fx C5 vertabrae, and has his right arm in a cast due to the injury he sustained to it...he has been able to stand and even took a couple of steps...but he is going to be transferred later this week to another hospital that has an excellant rehab!!! Ashley is also doing alot better...she suffered the more traumatic head injury of the 2...she is waking up at times and even speaking...just not sure what level she is at cognitively at this point...time will tell with that...she is also supposed to be transferred to the same rehab soon...Craig got to see Ash for the first time today...he held her hand and said "I love you Bunny", but was tired and had to go back to bed...Ash they say opened her eyes and smiled at Craig, but then went back to sleep.....
As you can imagine, this has been very difficult for all the family and friends who are close to these two kids......But......God is GREAT!!!! I saw the car...we are lucky these kids are still with us at all right now...and in just 2 weeks they have made remarkable improvement!!! Thanks for all the prayers...and please keep them coming....
Ash's cousin.
