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 Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on June 2, 2011 at 10:48am: Can anybody give me information on if their Sailors were ever in their hometown newspaper and how would I go about getting it done? Since my daughter has now graduated A School and bc and soon C School I would like to have her in our local newpapers on her accomplishments. I know back in bc they signed the permission form for the NAVY to release the information but she never got her just dues. Look forward to seeing if any of you know.

Comment by Kellymcd11 on May 29, 2011 at 10:17pm: Adm60 and Janie, i agree I like the fb page but this is where we started and I am not ready for the change. I am always afraid of change. this is the place were we can rant on and on and on..lol I am pretty sure the fb page is pretty secure for lots of things but I agree with Angie, sometimes I have a whole lot to say and FB just doesnt allow that. ADM60, gandaughters how beautiful, I spent the day with my grandson today he is 6 months now. It is amazing how they grow so fast. I just sit and watch his beautiful little face all day. i dont want to miss one expresion, which he has many..lol I hope everyone has a safe and awesome weekend..

Comment by adm60 on May 29, 2011 at 9:00am: Hello everyone

So hope you do not abandon this group for FB! It has been a hard spring but maybe it will smooth out now. Only one day of sun in three weeks---however it is lilacs and apple blossoms in the salty fog--the blossoms are really lasting. Sailor had a fabulous time in Manila and Hong Kong but he has not been writing as often. Off today to celebrate my grandaughters 1st and 3rd birthday! I wish you all a safe holiday!

Comment by Janie (Ship11~Div.59 Alumni) on May 28, 2011 at 12:46pm: HELLO LADIES!!!!!!!!! Angie I have to agree with you more. Our chat is more private on here than on fb. I like both worlds. Fb is too open for some of the things we talk about. I noticed a few things that were posted wound up on the home page, now I don't know how or who can see it but....I just feel anything that is too private about our sailors I will say on here.

Hope everyone is able to get out and celebrate the wonderful holiday that represents all that have fought for our freedoms and this great land. All need to have their own holiday to support and honor them.

See ya on fb!

Comment by BigGaMoma(Angie) on May 27, 2011 at 9:49am: ~~Good Morning Ladies~~ not much action on here lately....yes, I joined the FB page too and it is easier but, I like our little private world here on N4M's...we have some talkers (me) that can't type their story in a couple of lines...you are very limited on FB...and it seems we are more "open" on here than we are on FB...if we posted on FB what we post on here, our friends and family would have us locked up!!! This is just my opinion......I like our PRIVATE N4M's world..........I will chat either way, just don't feel the freedom on FB....Love yall....

Comment by NavyMomKim on May 26, 2011 at 1:49pm: I don't know how you all feel about it but I like just going to Facebook for our daily communications with each other. It will save time not to have to check both.

Comment by janlee on May 25, 2011 at 6:06pm: i recently watched a Jimmy Stewart movie (old black and white)...and thats what it was about. he won a bunch of worthless prizes (a portrait of himself, a pony, a swimming pool, a years supply of meat, etc...) after answering a riddle over the radio. Then ended up having to pay a fortune in taxes. It was pretty funny...lol!

Comment by terry268 on May 25, 2011 at 5:50pm: 4200.00 was probably the sales taxWinning a car is nice but paying the taxes is not a good thing I once won some money from radio contest glad I took the money instead of the prize made it alot easiler to handle
