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 diannep on June 9, 2012 at 10:07pm: OmahaRudy: You can start a discussion above whenever you like, but to pass on info like you did here about letters, this board is a better place. More will see it here. Many forget about the discussions above. You can also post in your division group above, but please stay on this main board too. We N4Moms veterans don't have time to go through all of the discussions on a regular basis to find questions....we are on 6-8 PIR groups at a time....so there is just not time to check the groups all of the time. So we recommend you post your comments/questions here!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 9, 2012 at 10:06pm: OmahaRudy, that's great that you got your "letter" already. My heart skipped a beat when I read my son's handwriting on the letter, so I bet that made your day a happy one.

You can start a Discussion on here whenever you want. Just please remember to check in all the time on the main page. The "veteran moms" post a lot of important information on the comment pages. We are usually checking in on more than one group so we really don't have a lot of time to check the Discussion groups for questions.

Comment by OmahaRudy on June 9, 2012 at 8:48pm: When should we start a new discussion versus just commenting? Is there is science to that? I want to tell you that "the letter" came in today's mail :) Being a man of few words, my son simply filled in the blanks and called it go. Not even a little "hi mom." Oh well :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 9, 2012 at 6:36pm: When it rains, it pours :-( If you received an email from me (regular email from uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com, not this sites emails/messages) it would have had a weird weird link on it. DO NOT open the link. I didn't send it and it could be a virus. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this could have caused and of my friends. I get these emails all the time so I know not to open them. But I guess somehow I got a virus from it. Don't open it and you will be fine. I never send links like that in an email. I would only send you a link to my website or facebook page and that would be in the middles of a real message that you can tell is from me. Thanks

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 9, 2012 at 6:09pm: I am back from the yard sale, you will be happy to know that i was smart this time and stayed in the shade lol. I did not however sell out so I guess I will do it again next Saturday. I see this group has a new member, another veteran lol, I promise eventually the newbie members will outweigh the veterans on this page :-)

Comment by MSmom on June 9, 2012 at 2:44pm: Thanks diannep.

Comment by diannep on June 9, 2012 at 2:29pm: Welcome, MSmom. Great to see you on here!

Comment by MSmom on June 9, 2012 at 10:39am: Hi everyone. I am one of the veteran moms. My son graduated from boot camp in January. He is now stationed in San Diego. I am excited to help you on your journey. These days are the hardest but I assure you it will get better.

Comment by diannep on June 9, 2012 at 10:20am: Hope all have a good weekend!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 9, 2012 at 6:51am: Good morning everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful fun-filled Saturday. We are having a yardsale today so I will be back later this afternoon. I would love to Sell out so I can come back sooner lol.

Hopefully you will get some new members for this group today :-)
