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."

BBKS Mom / the Big trip
Hi my son is in ship 11 div 062 PIR 02/04/2011 Ive been posting on the N4ms site but some how I missed you guys. dah when it comes to posting and blogging i get lost easily.any who, did I read that some of you are driving up.any one from Ga.I am sorry that our SR are having some difficult times but
my SR always remains optimistic.Our favorite quote Oliver Wendel Holmes "What lies before us and what lies behind us are of tiny matters compared to what lies within us". Ladies remember what your
sons and daughters are made of, they come from good so they can only be good ! they can only do good !.My husband say our SR are in the bottom of the 4th quater they are up by 10points with 10sec left on the clock and they have the ball. In other words they have won.And now we can all take a deep breath a sigh of relief.May God continue to Bless each and everyone of you and your families.
Be safe
