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."

Hello all
I haven't been on N4M's in quite awhile but figured with the upcoming deployment, I would get on and check if there was a group for my son's ship. I also just requested to join the FB group. My son has been on the ship for about a year now. We actually just were in SD to visit him and to say goodbye and were able to see the ship and have a tour. It will be nice to be able to "picture" where he is while they are gone.

My girl says it should be either a 8 or 9 or 10 month deployment....Yeah Navy time!! He should get better info once he gets to the ship. My girl seems to be kept informed and lets us know when it is possible. Blessings to all as they prepare for deployment.

Hi Jim, I am on Facebook way more than I am here so I'd like to join your page. My FMF Corpsman is joining the Harpers Ferry with the 1/3. Since my boots on the ground sailor has never been on a ship, this should be quite an experience for him! See you on FB!
