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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 18, 2012 at 8:10am: Ellen, I cracked up when I read what you said about your ex lol. So funny.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 18, 2012 at 12:45am: Thank you too sjtina!

Sorry aster...I was going to log out and check but hubby and sons came home for dinner!

Comment by aster on June 17, 2012 at 11:09pm: thank you for checking for me! :)

Comment by sjtina on June 17, 2012 at 11:07pm: Yes aster, your page is private

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 17, 2012 at 8:48pm: The "Invite" feature next to "Friends" in the Staus Box (below youer username in the far right column) is to invite friends from outside of N4M's.

If you want to "friend" someone on here...well you just did it aster!LOL

Just click on their Profile Pic which will take you to their My Page. (IE is NOT letting me do this! ) OR you can click on their username.

Once there, go to the far left column and underneath their Profile Pic...click "Add as Friend".

You may type a message into the Friend Request box.

Click "Send".

**Note - If you recieve a friend request with a message and it is important...such as a question...adn you want to save it. Write it down or copy and paste it to a doc or I have a long way of doing it and posting it into my Reply after I accept the friend request.

If you don't...it is lost.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 17, 2012 at 8:41pm: aster - The way to check if your reset took...log out of N4M and then go to your page (I save My Groups in my Favorites on IE.). Then you will see if all of your page is viewable or just your Profile Pic and header with your username.

Comment by aster on June 17, 2012 at 8:24pm: also, how do I invite friends?

Comment by aster on June 17, 2012 at 8:23pm: diannep - how do I set my page to "private"? I did the privacy setting to "just my friends" - is that private?

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2012 at 8:22pm: What RTC says is that they "guarantee" entrance of the 4 on the list (with proper ID). But they themselves will tell you that extras with proper ID may have to wait, but should get in.
