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."

I just stopped by to let you know if you would like something to wear to PIR to show how proud you are of your future Sailor you should check out the ribbons that Lala Ribbon Queen makes. My family got them and they are awesome, such a great way to show support and find other N4M members too. And, all you have to do is send her a friend request to order them.

Comment by Cathy ship09/div205/pir06/17/11 on May 12, 2011 at 12:23pm: Mommabee2, that is awesome!!!! You've given me hope for today!!!

Comment by Mommabee2 on May 12, 2011 at 11:23am: Got my letter too!! Actually 3 in one!! So excited!

Comment by Audrey on May 12, 2011 at 11:19am: Congrats Sunny!!!!! I am glued to my mailbox and praying like crazy.

Comment by Sunnyb on May 12, 2011 at 11:01am: YEAHaaaaa! I almost cried as the mail lady handed me 2 letters... and YES I was standing in the yard waiting for her. First letter was 3 pages of the messiest most beautiful hand writing I ever saw, bless his little heart. He is fine and doing well. Said he will be on the drum line playing the base. He said he wished he could have picked, since the snare is more fun, but he seems happy. He answered my questionnaire I sent him, and at the end I ask what I could be praying for him. He said health, and that people would stop screwing up. He said they beat you with physical exercise for punishment and they have lost 25 people already, most to physical injury. Not to scare any of us, but yet, so we can be praying for health, strength and no injures. He did say his division is finally starting to work as a team so things are getting better. He also said he would like a page of address stickers made up so he didn't have to address his envelopes. Or already addressed envelops would help since they only get a short time to write.

Can't wait to hear more of you got letters!

Comment by Linda on May 12, 2011 at 10:12am: Wow can you belive this omg if I don't get a letter today...I just don't know I can't sleep or nothin I worked all night all I can do is watch the mailbox
