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 britefuture on December 25, 2015 at 4:06am: Merry Christmas N4M family.

Welcome Dawn and congrats on your future Nuke. Hold on tight, it's fun ride.

I too am missing my Sailor this Christmas. Daughter as well! Got a great holiday gift/video of my grandson taking his first few steps. Warmed my heart!

Much love to you all! Thanks for being here!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on December 25, 2015 at 12:04am: Hi Nuke moms. Merry Christmas. Many of you may not know that we do have a FB group for MOMS only. If your sailor has had PIR, I can add you to the group. Let me know.

Comment by BoyWonderMom on December 24, 2015 at 10:12am: Missing my sailor this Holidays, like so many of you. Stopping by to wish you all a very blessed, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of you too!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 23, 2015 at 5:38pm: Have a blest Christmas B'snukeMom.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 23, 2015 at 5:03pm: Oh yuck raw chicken, not a good thing. Thought subs had the best food in the navy!

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 23, 2015 at 3:08pm: J's/S'smom - don't worry - I'll be back in the office on Monday so cartoons will resume!

Oh my I would not have wanted to be on that underway....no way no how! :(

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 23, 2015 at 2:45pm: gotta post all my cartoons cuz I won't be in the office after today..... ;-)

J's/S'smom - yuck - raw chicken....makes my stomach churn just thinking about it. Can't imagine it would be good to have them all sick at once.....yikes! Of course my husband likes to find "science projects" in the back of the fridge & eat them. He says it toughens him up lol! Glad your sailors will be able to spend Christmas together - hopefully you can Skype with them.

Comment by B'sNukeMoM⚓️MMN(Vet) on December 23, 2015 at 1:16pm: We've picked up a few new members recently. Just want to remind you to read the OPSEC info above - very important. Remember the saying "Loose lips sink ships!". Also be sure to read the pages (9) to the right, under the member profiles. You'll find lots of good info there - and if you don't find what you are looking for, ask away! Hang in there ;-)
