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 carols_kitchen on December 30, 2010 at 4:33pm: That testing has happened before, but not for over a week. Somehow I think my favorites bar (no, not chocolate, but if it's dark chocolate, call me!) or cookies have been disabled.

Comment by T-Lynn on December 30, 2010 at 4:10pm: maybe it is a tesing thing that happens. I have to do that ever so often too. Hope it is just a fluke.

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 29, 2010 at 6:36pm: Technical question--why can't I stay sign in to N4M on my computer lately? I have to sign in every time I come here? Not like I haven't been with it almost 3 years now.

Anchor Mom--I'll be back with you on your page!!!!

Comment by Anchor Mom5 on December 29, 2010 at 10:24am: Carols kitchen,, I wouldlove to help with anything! Our sailor left yesterday and I cried like a baby , more than once. Off to San Diego! He was pretty excited, especially for the warmer weather. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Comment by carols_kitchen on December 28, 2010 at 5:06pm: Hi. How many of you would like to join in a special mailing for our sailors overseas? We've got 1,000 to do for a February group with March/spring theme. I've got a sewing party Jan. 11th, and packing party in Feb. and more news to come. Private message me your email if you need direct information:)

Comment by T-Lynn on December 28, 2010 at 2:23pm: Hi

Glad you had your sailors home .

3extra days !!!! Wow - did he call in to his Duty Officer that he is delaid by weather? AS long as he keeps contact with the Duty Officer of his ship - I think he should be ok. I am trying to remember too - if he is going by plane back - he can request a print out from the check in that his plane was delaid from taking off due to weather.

Glad you enjoyed the pictures. Today back out to chip more ice out. Oh so much fun

Comment by ChitownPat on December 28, 2010 at 8:03am: Great pics T-Lynn and glad your sailor made it in bodeanhead...that is wonderful! Just sent my sailor to the airport to head back to Bremerton. We were so blessed to have him home with us for Christmas! A peaceful and joyful New Year to all the N4M families!

Comment by bodeanhead on December 27, 2010 at 10:35pm: It is so nice to have Kevin home with us. Got home on Monday night. It took 3 xtra hours because of the snow storm here. He was supposed to leave yesterday, but because of the East Coast storm we get 3 xtra days!! Nice trade off. Just hope he doesn't get in trouble. Was supposed to be on watch last night. Guess the Navy can't compete with Mother Nature. Everyone, have a happy and healthy New Years!
