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 TL3MOM &1's a Sailor-Ship2Div932 on May 24, 2011 at 10:30am: Jess, you are not the only one nervous about this! I thought I seen that our division will leave bright and early Saturday morning :( I just wish we would get a letter from them to confirm things!!

To Any Other Div 932 Nuke loved one...if you hear from your SR confirming when they ship out...please let us know...thanks!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 24, 2011 at 10:29am: They usually know by about the 4th week. But from what we are told now pretty much all of them leave by Saturday. I really wish they would just let everyone have the whole weekend with their Sailors but unfortunately I don't get to decide lol.

Comment by JessicaB-Sailor's Sweetheart<3 on May 24, 2011 at 10:20am: I'm so nervous now about when my SR will leave... He is a nuke and going to SC so I am assuming early. Do all the divisions know already or just some?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 24, 2011 at 10:16am: The meet and greet is a lot of fun and definitely fine for all ages. At the meet and greet we used their microphone and passed it around from one family to the next and we all told who we were and our N4M name and told a little about our Sailors. Something else we did before going was we changed our profile pics a couple
weeks before PIR so we would be able to put faces with names on this
site. It really helped us to recognize each other. The ribbons I am making for a lot of you in this group will also help you to recognize other N4M members. They can be worn at the meet and greet not just PIR. There will also be other families at the meet and greet who have never heard of N4M's. Can you imagine not knowing about this site? I don't think I could have survived without N4M's and all my friends I have met on here :-)

Comment by ConnieC on May 24, 2011 at 10:16am: Hey All, my Recruit is in 213 and she is a grad and go, she will be going to GLakes for "A" school though. I feel bad for those whose Sailors will be leaving that day or the next :(

Comment by ConnieC on May 24, 2011 at 10:12am: Craig that is so funny, who knew!
