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 August 22, 2012 at 9:55pm: 3 more hours and you will be counting hours instead of days :-) Have a wonderful time everyone and please travel safely. Come back and tell all about your experience.

Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on August 22, 2012 at 7:34pm: mkcmom - I reposted it with an image that has the train station parking labeled, too.

Comment by ellen0502 on August 22, 2012 at 5:16pm: Safe travels everyone!! You are heading in to a great weekend!

The feeling that you get as that big door opens and you see that first glimpse of all those SAILORS feet marching behind, and then you spot your SAILOR, is only seconded by the best hug your about to receive. I still get all misty thinking about it.

Congratulations everyone!!

Comment by mkcmom on August 22, 2012 at 11:48am: CAN someone post that overview of RTC google earth pic? I can't find it now! I see the thread uptop but i cna't find the link to the actual picture that she posted!

help! thanks

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2012 at 11:17am: PamperedMom: You all can make yourselves nametags with your N4Moms screen name/photo icon, with your real name below it. And, you can also add under that your division number. You will run into people who not only are not on this site, but have no idea about it. Believe it or not, only about 10-15 percent (or less) of a PIR group is represented on this site. Very sad....

Some ladies in previous PIR groups have printed up business cards with N4Moms website info on it and passed them out at the MeetandGreets and PIR. Believe me, those ladies will be so appreciative if you all do that! You will continue to rely on this site through school and duty stations!

Comment by PamperedMom on August 22, 2012 at 10:22am: mkcmom I'll be at Sarge's as well! See you there. Safe travels to all!

Comment by mkcmom on August 22, 2012 at 10:06am: WHEW! This has been a LONG 9-10 weeks, but I am so THANKFUL i found this sight! It has helped pass the time tremendously, and I know that because the first time around 9 years ago with oldest son, I did not have this sight! SO THANKFUL for the creators of this and here is to you keeping it going for future NAVY MOMS! I have joined the group for HM's and TEXAS MOMS on here, and look forward to continued relationships with the wonderful "moms" i've Met on here! We have a facebook group that will continue on! BUT much thanks to you guys! I will be leaving bright and early in the morning for Great Lakes, cannot wait to meet all my new friends at Sarges Meet&Greet and then hug my baby on Friday morning! What a roller coaster ride this has been! But I'm on PROUD NAVY MOM! Thanks guys!

Comment by PamperedMom on August 22, 2012 at 9:00am: So proud of all our Sailors!! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone on here. I know we will be so excited to see our special someone after graduation. Is there something we can do before PIR to identify ourselves so we can say, YES we are N4M's and we've been there for each other during BC? thoughts?
