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."

The 11 Service men and their families are in my prayers. It broke my heart to read it on a local news network phone alert and just had to read it. Lord have mercy on them and their families. Hold them in the palm of Your hand close to Your heart. God bless our men and women in the Military and families.

Please keep in your prayers the families of the 11 service members (7 Marines, 4 Army) whose helicopter crashed in the waters of Pensacola Florida, last night & are presumed dead. So, so sad.

Well one of the bad things about having a Sailor in Hawaii and you live on the East Coast... calls at 11:15 p.m. LOL - he forgot about our time change! I get up at 5:00 a.m., but it's always nice to hear their voices.
