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 Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on August 27, 2011 at 5:36pm: Bandito's Mom, you're so funny. .. I was thinking the same thing when I logged back on just now, only 4 N4M messages! Where IS everybody?! Here in Pa, just now (5 pm) started some serious rain, brought in the mares and foals to ride out the storm overnight. Have 300 gallons of water ready in case the power goes out, but nothing we can do if some trees smush the fences.

Comment by Bandito's Mom on August 27, 2011 at 3:53pm: testing, testing..... amazing that there hasn't been any activity for so long....

Comment by Denise (MMNuke 1104-7) on August 27, 2011 at 2:46am: Nicole, the recruiting office can probably help you.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 27, 2011 at 12:38am: It's been taken care of, thank ya'll!!:)

Comment by susank on August 26, 2011 at 11:09pm: Mn Linda, prayers go out to you, your sailor and doggy. We just lost our 13 year old chihuahua a couple of weeks ago and it was days before my son came home. I still feel badly that he didn't see her one last time. It is a good thing that you will all be together this weekend. Hugs!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 26, 2011 at 10:56pm: Okay, thank you much!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on August 26, 2011 at 10:55pm: Nicole, I'd try both and hope someone answers one of them

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on August 26, 2011 at 10:54pm: I'm impatiently waiting for my son to come home for the weekend -- his flight is in the air and land in about an hour. He is coming home to see our little Tina (14 yr old yorkie in my profile picture) one more time because she won't be around much longer as she has lymphoma.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 26, 2011 at 10:47pm: what extension do i use?

7480? or 7294?

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on August 26, 2011 at 10:42pm: might try this

Navy Family Information

As the Sailor, spouse or child of a Sailor you are also part of an extended family comprised of thousands of Sailors and their family members…the Navy. You are important to us and we know it is critical that you have the information and resources necessary to successfully master the challenges of Navy life.

No doubt you have questions about school, community, command, etc. Call your Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) for your informational and referral needs (I & R). The I&R program provides a service to Sailors and their families by which they can learn what is offered by the FFSC, Navy and local community about how to access the information and services they want or need. Typically, in response to a direct request, I&R offers basic information such as organization names, telephone numbers, addresses, and/or physical accessibility. Some of the information available relates to local military and civilian community services such as education, life-enrichment, and therapeutic services. Callers may remain anonymous, if so desired. FFSC: the place to go when you need to know!

For more information, please call 843-764-7480/7294
