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."

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on February 11, 2011 at 3:29pm: WOW you guys are still on here? I miss mine too! Terribly! But DebBon don't give up!! It's Valentines Day soon girlie girl.... CHOP CHOP! I am sure you can think of something of the same interest! huh? huh?

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on February 11, 2011 at 3:01pm: Starting to feel that low feeling again. Like when we missed them in Boot camp. We were on such a high from seeing them and now it's over. I miss my son so much. Life sure is strange without kids at home. I don't find that my husband and I have the same interests anymore. Ever feel like that? Been married for 24 years and now its just him and I again. Wow things were different when we were younger.

Comment by Christine(ship02 Div909) on February 11, 2011 at 2:39pm: I know...I can't believe it either.

Comment by chew92 on January 26, 2011 at 12:51am: This was a wonderful weekend. Spent the whole weekend with my son. His A school is at Great Lakes. Thank you all for a wonderful meet and greet before PIR. Our sailors were great. They all looked so good, strong and committed. Thanks to all of you.

Comment by Cindy-Cadence's Aunt(S02/Div943) on January 25, 2011 at 4:33pm: I'm home from PIR. It was beautiful! I cried like a baby! But the bad part is that my camera didn't work! If anyone out there could take pity on me and send me some pics of the ceremony, I would be eternally grateful! My email is cindy.lende@verizon.net. My son was in the back row-4th tallest. I will be ordering the dvd but would like to have pics, too. Thank you all for being there through this very long trip! Good to know we are not alone!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on January 25, 2011 at 1:26pm: Perfectly said DebBon!

Kathy, I am sending you a Pm now

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on January 25, 2011 at 1:22pm: I know it seem like we would never get to PIR and now it has come and gone and so have our SAILORS, each one to explore their journey's. Some together, some alone. Sad, our time with them all too short. But excited to see where each of their lives take them.

N4M's truly has been our life-stone. I love each and everyone of you and will stay in touch with everyone. We are all Seasters!!!!!
