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 Craig on July 31, 2011 at 11:53pm: Hey all,

I am a retired Navy guy, who's son and nephew are active duty. I run two Navy forums here on N4M's, and I am the admin for NavyDEP.com which is a Deppers website. I been on N4M's for along time, and have known all the seasoned mom (example: diannep-veteran, lala, etc) and I'm on the panel of advisers here at N4M's. (just wanted you guys to know a little background about me)

Since your jouney through boot camp is almost over and you will have freshly minted sailors! I would like to welcome those people that have sailor that are in the CT field (CTI, CTM, CTN, CTR, CTT) that are going to PENSACOLA Florida or MONTEREY California to come on and join us for your next phase of your sailors life at N4M's. (Heck, we even talk about the IT rating too....)

Lastly, Battle Stations is almost here... I know dianeep-veteran has this listed above in the ^^^^^^BATTLESTATIONS^^^^^ discussion, but, for the newbies if you want to see what your sailors are about to do, please go look at this PDF file.

Again, the journey has just began, welcome to your next phase in life, "A" and "C" school.... Woo-hoo for new sailors!!!!

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 31, 2011 at 11:19pm: Life is SO crazy right now. I got one kid off to camp this morning. I have three more kids to pack. One of them for camp also for next weekend while we are gone. And then need to pack hubby and I. AND we are taking loads to our new house every day too. Crazy trying to move with all the chaos. But...my hope is chaos leads to time moving quickly! Will light my candle again tomorrow night for all the DIVs to go this week.
