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."

Special Prayer Requests!!

As we move towards the end of boot camp it seems there are some injuries, some recruits who are just not quite passing their PFA's, others who feel down and as if they are unsure if they can make it, and families who have special needs as well.  It is hard often to keep those needs straight.  As a praying person, I want to pray for each and every one of you who has special prayer requests and I know that desire is shared by other family members on this site.  So if you have a prayer request...please leave it here and you can be assured that people like me will be reading it everyday and praying over your needs.  God Bless each and every person who writes a prayer request here.  The bible says that where two or three or gathered in His name, there He shall also be.  As we believe and pray together I believe prayers will be answered.

lizbear.. praying for your husband. my son wrote last week that he had a sore throat, etc... but that they have given him antibotics. He said they really take good care of them, in keeping them well. Can you believe it? only 18 more days... sounds a lot better than 56 days..

I hope that doesnt delay him, I will keep him in prayers also. Is he in the same division as my SR? Mine told me last week he has the sniffles, He isnt use the the weather there.

Yes, he is in the same division. I guess getting sick is what happens when a whole bunch of people from everywhere else get together in the same place. We all knew that it could happen! :)

Putting in a special prayer request for a fellow Navy Mom and son. Her son is suffering from shin splints and needs to pass his running test. He's only off by 15 seconds. Please help me pray for strength and healing for this SR. Thanks so much.

Praying the RDC of 363 will let our boys call.

Also, Praying that Div 364 will be allowed to call. My son's fiancee received a letter yesterday. He told her he almost blew his knee out. He has had trouble with it off and on since High School. He hasnt told them, because he is afraid that if he has to go for any kind of treatment, it could set him back, so he is working through the pain. He has passed all the tests so far. Please pray that his knee will hold out during this intense training. Thanks.
