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 trevizofam on July 26, 2012 at 11:49am: diannep thank you for the email info. Very helpful. Been trying to figure that out :/

Comment by diannep on July 26, 2012 at 8:13am: Prayers for her, Lala.

dsw93: So you got the call date from ga mom, right? I assume by your post below that you got her "message to group" sent out to all on here. If not and you still need the date, friend request/message me.

Comment by Mrs. Woody on July 26, 2012 at 8:07am: Will keep her in my prayers. gamom; i found the message. Thanks!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 26, 2012 at 7:56am: Good Morning everyone. For everyone who has been praying for my Sailor thank you so much. I can't even begin to tell you how much we appreciate that. She seems to be feeling a little better but had to have a CAT scan yesterday. We will hopefully hear good news from that today and maybe by Monday she will be able to go from SIQ to LLD. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Thanks so so much, Lora (aka lala)

Comment by Mrs. Woody on July 26, 2012 at 7:52am: Can you private message me with that date please? My SR is in 261. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on July 26, 2012 at 7:33am: Good Morning ladies!

gamom: The date you gave in the private message....very important as that call will be the I'm a Sailor call! That means, BattleStations are the night before (overnight 12 hr drill). We can't post BattleStations dates on this site, but we can private message them. I have put these two divisions (brother divisions) on the BattleStations schedule.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 25, 2012 at 6:26pm: SUBMTMOM, I am so sorry to hear that your son will be coming home. I hope he is okay and I am sure he will find something that will be rewarding for him in his future. Sometimes things happen that we don't like but it turns out to be the best. I am sure God has a plan. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 25, 2012 at 11:39am: diannep, so sorry to hear about the fallen sailor. My prayers go out to his family.

Submitmom, Good Luck to your son in his future ventures. ((hugs))

Comment by diannep on July 25, 2012 at 8:17am: SUBMITMOM: One suggestion....click on "SETTINGS" in top right corner above....then click on EMAILS.....then go to the last selection: Turn off all email notifications from N4Moms. Be sure to click SAVE after that on the bottom. I was not doing this before and that is why I couldn't get my settings right. You can make any selections you want on that page....check or uncheck boxes...but be sure to hit the SAVE when done. Hope this helps....

Comment by diannep on July 25, 2012 at 8:13am: SUBMITMOM: So very sorry about this news. Prayers for all of you as your son finds the next step in his life that the Lord wants for him!

FTLW is very good about the technical part of stopping those emails, so I'm sure she will post later to help you. Blessings to your family!
