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 paddysmima on September 25, 2009 at 12:31am: I will request my son to order the video. loz! have to see if he'll even order the photos. The kid hates photos.

Comment by wisconsinmom on September 24, 2009 at 11:11pm: I found this info about photos on the N4M website also.
Hey Ladies- This is info from the Navy Exchange Photolab on the Photos/DVD that are available for purchase.
1. During 4th week, 4th day the Navy Exchange Photolab comes and takes their individual pics. No placing orders yet.

2. During 5th week, 3rd day- they come and take their division pics and they can now place their orders for one of 2 packages. Their package choices are A or B.

Package A (largest package) for $140. =
11 x 14 individual, 2 8 x 10's, 4 5 x 7's, 24 wallets, 11 x 14 of their division. This package also includes their cruise book which is a mini yearbook of their division and their brother division.

Package B for $120. =
8 x 10, 2 5 x 7's, 16 wallets, 11 x 14 of their division. This package does not include the cruise book.
I asked if I could place an order now, and she said that the order can only be place by the recruit after the division pics are taken during that 5th week, 3rd day.
3. They also offer a DVD of graduation for $29. She says it goes from the moment they enter to the very end. She did mention it has some highlights of activities, but I am not too sure what activities she meant. She recommended that if we wanted the DVD or the cruise book that we make sure our recruits order them during that 5th week. She said they can be made available later, but you have to wait and there is no guarantee. (Maybe they only order so many extra and once they are gone- they are gone). However, she did say after graduation that they will be set up there with extra photos and stuff to sell.

Comment by paddysmima on September 24, 2009 at 10:37pm: Mike is ship 3 div 346. If you take photos, can you all post them for me?

Comment by paddysmima on September 24, 2009 at 9:39pm: I got a letter from Mike today! I am so excited. Nothing about PIR. Just it had been a rough week and all the guys are exhausted. They got thier Marching Flag. Those flags are a big deal. They are going to get to carry them for all of you that get to see them graduate. I am so excited for all of you going! A bit envious as well.I will be thinking of you all on 10-9.
