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."

Haven't commented much on this group site. Still fairly new to N4M. My son leaves for Boot Camp next Tuesday, 3/16. Any suggestions on some nicer restaurants around the hotel we can go to the night before? I don't know Indy at all. Have only been there to go to the airport. Ideas would be helpful. Thanks!

I've heard that "G" gig is wonderful, but my kiddos need to get a place of their own and save some money first. Then, I'll be happy to sign up for the tour :-D

NO, Ms. 08, a grandbaby would NOT be positive right now!!! Maybe in a few years or so... but for now, I'm not ready to be a grandma!
