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."

Navy Week Coming To Phoenix!
I’ll also be posting an Event on the site and updating it as we receive more details – so keep your eyes peeled!
For those of you that are not sure what Navy Weeks are, they consists of a series of events designed to tell the Navy story: what the Navy does, why it’s important, and what opportunities exist in today’s Navy. This can include appearances by Admirals and sailors, Blue Angels, Leap Frogs, EOD dive tanks, flight simulators, SEAL Fitness Challenges, and performances by the Navy Band.
Although N4M is not sponsoring these events, if anyone is interested in getting involved individually or in a group, please send me a PM and I can put you in touch with the right Navy contacts ☺
Thanks!

Hi - There's nothing posted yet on the schedule other than the fitness challenge will be at ASU-Tempe --- I would like to see the Navy Band & Leap Frogs -- one of my sons parachutes -- but is not a Navy SEAL but works Communications.
The event is coming up soon...looking forward to seeing a schedule of events. -
