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."

A Place for Prayers

I think it would be great to have a place to post requests, answers, or just general prayers for Class 281 or any pre-bud family. Everyone is Welcome!

I'm asking for good sleep this weekend, and healing of any injuries that any may have. Peace of mind, strength of spirit, courage for the week ahead. I also ask Lord, that you be present to each mother, father, other family member and friend who care for these young men. Grant them peace for the journey. May their prayers avail much.
Amen

Please add prayers for our son-BB- during this week. We will be sending out positive thoughts to you all every moment of the week. Our son is excited to get through this next mission of his life! Thank you, laurenwb

Dear Father,
Today our boys are beginning a new journey that is difficult, challenging, dangerous and thrilling to them.. As you tell us in your word, you are the shield that protects us. Be their protectors this week. Bless them with strength when the logs get heavy, and the boats weigh down upon them. Warm the waters around them when their bodies are shaking in the cold. Keep their minds clear and focused on the minute at hand. Please help us left at home to be the source of strength through prayers for each other and our men. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. Amen

Lord God, be near this night as only you know the dread, the excitement, the "other worldly quality" of such as this. For all who take this journey, be near, nearer than any other, walk beside, before, and behind each one. Keep each mind and heart clear with only the task at hand to do. One moment at a time Lord.
Amen
