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 Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 8, 2010 at 6:52pm: I am with Diannep on the M&G - let's all start at the Ramada and then we can see where we end up!

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 8, 2010 at 6:52pm: Woo hoo!!! I just talked to my son!! I was second on the list....the gf was first but she didn't answer....lol! He too has passed all his tests and told me to check my mail, he has sent letters!!! What an AWESOME end to a crappy day! I did call his gf - she was in tears because she saw she missed his call. I told her he loves her and will call again another day. WOO HOOO!!!!!!

Comment by Tammy-Andrew's Mom on October 8, 2010 at 6:35pm: Woo Hoo, I got a call from my son!! Poor kid had to call me four times because the phone he was on I couldn't hear him, but he finally got one that worked and we got to talk. He has passed all his tests so far!! So proud, so happy!!

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 8, 2010 at 4:28pm: Great info diannep:) Thanks!!!

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2010 at 4:12pm: Sharon: From what other groups have posted lately, the Ramada has been going all out lately to make the M&Greet nice for everyone. It is open to all Navy familieis, not just N4M's. What some PIR groups do is go to that first, and then they head over to a restaurant with their smaller group. Anastasia's I understand has been very good about welcoming PIR groups who want to come by there. The Ramada M&Greet is free....other than your drinks. The provide some small appetizers....you will need dinner before or after. If you are staying there, you get a free drink voucher. The M&Greet there will go on whether you all attend or not....so I would recommend that you all attend and then carry on plans after that if you wish! It is also a good time to let others attending know about N4M's because many have no clue about this site and sure could use the help! Even when their sailor is in A School or stationed.

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 8, 2010 at 3:44pm: sharon- Im not good at arranging stuff I'll leave that up to ya'll!LOL... but i definately want to come so make sure i know where to go. Im staying at the navy lodge but still want to come to meet n greet:)

Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 8, 2010 at 3:39pm: Hey Gals, what are we going to do for a Meet & Greet?? I know someone started a conversation but her guy was being separated. Do we want to do it at the Ramada??? They put something on, just not sure what. We should probably figure out what we want to do. Ideas?????
