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 Paula on July 18, 2012 at 10:45pm: Im always logged in lol

Comment by t'snavymom on July 18, 2012 at 10:13pm: Hi, when you share to Facebook it will show up on your FB. I don't like to use it very much because others can also see it on FB. And then it opens up comments on each site. Just my opinion.
And, I don't sign out of FB either. It's too much trouble to sign in each time!!

Comment by Paula on July 18, 2012 at 9:59pm: I did one for hotels lol it posted to fb

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 9:50pm: ooo...they posted over! LOL

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 9:49pm: hahaha!

Go to a Discussion (pick one, any one!)maybe your own Division one. I am guessing they are used to send the Discussion to Twitter or FB.

Just under the "Like" button under the main post you will see:

Comment by Paula on July 18, 2012 at 9:41pm: I will lol if i can figure out where u referring to lol

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 9:39pm: Say, on the Discussions...there are icons to "share", twitter and Facebook.

Has anybody ever used them?

I don't FB or Twitter...somebody want to be a detective for me? LOL

Comment by Paula on July 18, 2012 at 9:21pm: An android app would b awesome

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 9:20pm: Dear PIR Group,

I am not bringing this up to rehash...but I would just like to express my apologies for taking my concerns public on a Discussion. I have removed all of the posts for those that viewed them.

Thank you,
FTLW

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 9:18pm: I have a mom that has an iPhone and has responded to me privately. She does what I do...stays signed in to N4M's. Then when she gets an email she clicks on the link that takes you to the site...

Mine says:

To view the new reply, visit: (and then the link)...I click it and then I wait for it to load It takes me there and I am able to reply.

She has stayed signed in to N4M's for a few weeks on her iPhone.

I will still ask about an app...but hope that helps folks with their SmartPhones. I do try to sign out at bedtime.
