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 AF Airman on February 19, 2010 at 12:57am: Its really painful when your parents arent supportive thank God my parents are supportive about my bf and they like him. My mom somewhat understand everything im going through in a way and she helps me out alot since before her and my dad got marries he moved to florida while she was still in Dom. Rep. and they lived apart for 3 years. I just dont know how they would take the whole marriage thing yet. I hope their supportive when it comes up.

Confused-Im so sorry. you can still get on the site if you wanna vent and need support you kno here at N4M were here for you If you want feel free to message.

Comment by Sailor'sWifey on February 19, 2010 at 12:37am: Omg confused im so sorry.. Can u tell ryan to get on this website so he can see all the sacrifices you've done for him... Ohhh man im not liking it at all :( Ive only been on here for a couple of weeks and this just saddens me. I hope u guys can talk it out. If u need to vent some more, im all ears.

Comment by Sailor'sWifey on February 18, 2010 at 11:31pm: Thats great Congrats! The very last text I got from my boyfriend was when he had just landed in Chicago and it said "When I get back, lets get married"... He didnt even have a chance to read my reply because his phone was off from then on I still havent heard from him.. It's been 2 weeks.. I know I just gotta have patience :)

Comment by AF Airman on February 18, 2010 at 11:25pm: Congratulations thats awsome

Comment by AF Airman on February 18, 2010 at 11:12pm: I dnt think my bf cries before he left he said he cried but because he was gonna miss comet (his dog) but i think he just does that to be stupid and hide his feelings. Lets see if the navy breaks him down a little.

YuliaAnn- I would say just wait till your officially engaged (unless you already are) cause thats what im waiting for to tell my parents its tough to tell our parents were getting married so young but only you know what you really want and how you feel

Comment by PumpkinHead on February 18, 2010 at 1:24pm: I agree, I think it is terrible that she has that mind set...if she thinks that way then I feel she doesn't know love like we all on this site do. It makes me greatful for the relationship I have and proud of all of us for being so strong and supportive of our men!

Comment by AF Airman on February 18, 2010 at 12:59pm: Wow obviously she doesnt love him. Selfish?? if anything shes selfish by not letting him do what he wants . This is the place to vent lol it just shows that us girls that do wait for our guys are special nd we truly love them

Comment by AF Airman on February 18, 2010 at 2:09am: Congrats Daniella

And idk what the navy does to these guys in my bfs first letter (and the only so far) he wrote "i keep bragging about you i told everyone i wanna marry you" =)
its funny because before me he wasnt the guy to talk about marriage

Comment by his girl on February 17, 2010 at 3:00pm: YuliaAnn, I'm also still in high school, and trust me...I know exactly what you're going through
