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 MaggieMay on December 17, 2023 at 11:45am: Hello missmellen! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen activity on here. I think most switch over to Facebook but I personally always liked N4M. My son has been in 12 years now, currently stationed in Japan for the third time. I’d love to see this group get active again!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 12, 2023 at 11:32am: missmellen - you might also try sending a "message to the group" - link at the top right hand side of the page. This will go directly to their email on file and you might get a better response. Hopefully you can get the group active again!

Comment by missmellen on December 10, 2023 at 8:00pm: I just found this group. My son has been in the Navy since 2021. Any other N4M members from Missouri who havn't noticed this group but would like to join and start or participate in discussions?

Comment by Lauriel on December 6, 2019 at 10:49am: Prayers for all the A school students and Navy personnel at Pensacola Naval base! Hopefully the shooter is the only casualty, but prayers for them and their family too.

Comment by Lauriel on December 5, 2019 at 4:35pm: Hi MaggieMay!

I would love to tell you what he does, but he hits me with so many accronyms when we talk, I haven't a clue what his official title is. I know he calibrates machines, and also works on HazMat and Fire safety. So far he's been all over the place; working several months in one department and then several in another. He is planning to re-up this spring.

He wanted to work on helicopters or computers, but so far he hasn't had much success at either. He wants to pick up a skill he can use for employment if he ever decides to get out of the Navy.

Comment by MaggieMay on December 4, 2019 at 7:59pm: Hello Lauriel! I was so happy to see you comment - I thought this group had went belly up LOL. My son is stationed in Jacksonville and will be there another year and a half. He’s doing shore duty after spending 5 years on a carrier. Sounds like our sons have a little in common. May I ask what your son does? Mines a Cal Tech (ATI)

Comment by Lauriel on December 4, 2019 at 6:34pm: My son is on the Teddy Roosevelt. But in May he'll be stationed in Jacksonville. He's excited to be land-based for a while.

Comment by Candace on May 28, 2016 at 12:41am: I have a son on the Nimitz. Moving from Oklahoma BACK home to KC MO. I'm in a face book group for bevy mom's in Oklahoma but want to also join navy mom's in Missouri. Can someone direct me please

Comment by momofnm on November 25, 2015 at 4:34pm: Hello dawneee5. My son also has PIR of 1/8/16. We are from the St. Louis area.

Comment by dawneee5 on November 25, 2015 at 4:13pm: Hello ladies. I just joined N4M yesterday and found you today! Not sure where everyone is located but I would love to get to know others in my area going through the same thing I am. My son left for RTC on the 15th of this month. PIR is 1/8/16. Anyone else have loved ones near this time frame?
