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 Robin on February 11, 2012 at 11:25am: Hi Lynda, thank you! Not sure .....I think it's 3/16 but only going by the site that lists the PIR by div.....her recruiter provided me with div and ship #. I hope it's right....... :(

Comment by Robin on February 10, 2012 at 8:44pm: I am interested in attending/helping to organize... I am not that far though from Trenton/Ewing... I'm here in Westampton (lumberton/mt. holly) area. These sites have been a wonderful support system. I am STILL waiting for my daughters form letter to arrive.. sigh. She left on the 24th, and I haven't heard from her at all.... :(

Comment by sjtina on February 10, 2012 at 6:11pm: Welcome ladies. We all know too well that no one understands how hard this was on us. N4Ms is a great place to be to help get through BC and and so much more.

Comment by lizinnj on February 10, 2012 at 10:45am: From right outside Atlantic City, about 10 minutes out. If there is a gathering anywhere in Jersey, I'm in. Not many people around me understand the emotion of my daughter leaving for BC on April 1st.

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on February 10, 2012 at 9:25am: We are from New Milford, NJ in Northern Bergen County. My son is leaving for the hotel on Monday, Feb 13 and being sworn in on Feb 14th and leaving for the Great Lakes. He will then go to Charleston for Nuke training. Is there anyone close to New Milford? Any gatherings up in this area?

Comment by DJsmom on February 5, 2012 at 8:12pm: Thanks soooo much for the "freezing up" info Yayyy it worked for me. Thank you to all that welcomed me. My time is flying by my son is leaving in 8 days for the hotel and 9 to leave for GL.

Trying to find something for just us to do spend some quality time together.

Comment by JerseySusan on February 4, 2012 at 4:07pm: Hi Ladies, anyone having trouble with this web site "freezing up"? One of the other mothers on another site looked into it & found out on the very bottom right side there is a wheel with a green/red dot next to it. This is the chatting section. Click on the wheel & there will be a rectangle shape appear just above. Click on the rectangle shape until the dot changes to the red color. Walla!!! No more freezing up!!!!

Comment by sjtina on January 30, 2012 at 12:23am: Welcome DJ'smom.
