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."

My grandson will be graduating from Basic in a couple of weeks. Is it customary to give the new sailor a graduation gift? And if so, what is customary?

My grandson is deployed on the USS George H W Bush, straight out of A school, and is being trained on board. Anyone else have someone on the carrier - I miss him so much and most of my friends don't seem to understand it. Looking for someone is the same place to answer a few questions. Thanks

My grandson is aspiring to become a Navy SEAL. I joined N4M to help support my daughter and son-in-law and to learn as much as I could about the SEALS. I have read the posting policies for SEALS and I will adhere to them. Any other SEAL Grandmas out there?

thank you GrandmaBarb for the info. My grandson will graduate in June and we were worried about not being able to see the big event. Colton put in grandpa's name for seating along with mom, dad ans sis so that was the 4. Grandpa is Retired Navy. So you are saying to go with the seated 4 and we will also get to go in ? I sure love hearing that. We are coming from south Texas for this!
