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 Mark on March 3, 2012 at 10:00am: Connie - how about "Spontaneous Fishin"? It's a play on spontaneous fission, a phenomenon that helps a reactor startup.

Comment by dooby1424 on March 3, 2012 at 9:44am: Good Morning...my daughter has been surface nuke for over 10-years. I remember when she went to SC for Nuke School. That was really an experience. My son is also nuke - subs.

Comment by tina41 on March 3, 2012 at 9:12am: good morning all!!

i have been thinking about joining the fb group, but i like it here. im not to keen about the whole fb thing.

connie- here is two off the top of my head: navybound or wavynavy just a few ideas!

Comment by Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on March 3, 2012 at 8:00am: Hey clever moms, how about helping me come up with a good name for the foal out of my son's favorite mare? Mare's name is Minebrook. Sire is Wiseman's Ferry. Jockey Club rules say, max of 18 letters incl. spaces. I would love to have something that plays on nuke or Navy. Toss it around and see what you come up with!

Comment by Johanna on March 3, 2012 at 7:18am: Hi ColoradoMom, I sent you a friend request.
You need to friend me on FB and then I can add
you to our Page, but I would like to message
you rather than posting here.

Comment by BunkerQB on March 3, 2012 at 1:29am: I am not a member of the Facebook group. The depth of information available here has been incredible. We have MARK. I consider this group to be a shining example of what a supportive group should be. We have very few push-overs here. We don't hesitate to express our opinions and even agree to disagree. We never fail to offer assistance to one and another. A number of the moms live in my area and I always look forward to seeing them. We could have more than one admin. If there are a few volunteers (say at least two or three), it will make the job easier. I am afraid I could not be a permanent admin because my son will be finishing his commitment real soon but I am more than happy to walk a few of you through the ins and outs.

Regards, BQB.

Comment by BunkerQB on March 3, 2012 at 1:18am: To change the privacy setting, click "OPTIONS" (visible to creator or admins only), then click "Edit Group". You'll see the privacy option on the right. Be sure to click SAVE.

Comment by BunkerQB on March 3, 2012 at 1:15am: The creator of this group has been inactive for quite some time. It is possible to make this group more private - the creator or an appointed admin could change the setting to private. After which the comments will not be visible to everyone, only the people who are in the group. If any of you would like to be the admin for the group, contact the N4M admin and ask Colleen to make you an admin.

Comment by AngelW (Ship 07 Div 060) on March 3, 2012 at 12:50am: I love this group, I have learned so much from reading the posts and I want to send out a big thank you to all of you. It seems like our Sailors have a great deal in common.
My son is very different then he was just a few months ago, before BC started. I love the changes in him, he has sooo much drive now.
I pray everyday for all of our Sailors. Have a great weekend!

Comment by quiltblue on March 2, 2012 at 11:24pm: I think they try and get them all to volunteer for subs, but they will get wherever the Navy needs them to be! I like this group because we are here to support our Nukes. Doesn't matter where they are in the pipeline as far as I am concerned! Just treat everyone with respect, respect OPSEC rules, take what you need from the information provided, give what you can when you can. I love my USA and all those serving in the military; past, present and future!
