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."

**Oldies But Goodies. Admin Speaks Out (again). **
3 Rules, One Blog: Admin updates on More Navy Communities, Security...
And I've had few things on the site happen recently that has motivated me to repost this blog. I encourage you to click... but let me sum it up.
RULE 1: You may not bash any other sites on this site.
Not ours, not theirs. There is a huge navy community online- and we are proud to be amongst them.
If you want to link up with us- great!... send me a message. Let's talk.
RULE 2: Navyformoms.com embraces moms, sailors, other family members (and friends).
Dear Mom: Love the family, and love the friends that come here to support you, your family and your sailor.
Non-moms have the same rules as you do. They are here for the same reason you are here. They need and want some support. So Mom, let's see that maternal instinct okay? Love, Catherine (A proud Navy Niece, & Great Niece)
RULE 3: We’re an open community (and we are going to stay that way)…
I don't think I've a week without privacy questions/issues/concerns. If you haven't read the rules yet please do!
Please share what you are comfortable with while keeping the rules in mind.
I am here to keep the “trolls out”. Which, I have already exercised. Also, as we grow bigger and stronger- we have some GREAT members that help in self-policing this site. Other GREAT members send me PM's to the issues at hand. And I am truly grateful for that. I am one person. So, I am thankful I have more "eyes". :D
I stand firm in making this a community were everyone feels comfortable. Though, I know, I can’t make everyone happy... and some subjects are fair game to talk about as long as they abide by the rules.
So, I know most of you are thinking... Is that it? Yep. (For today anyways! hehehehe)
Peace my N4M's... Peace.
