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."

Well Jacquie we thought it might happen. And even though I haven't gotten a letter saying the same thing, I will not be surprised if it happens because the kids are going the same place. I guess we can be thankful that it is Saturday and not Friday that your sailor leaves. At least you will have Friday after grad and part of Saturday. We might be seeing each other at the airport. And if they do have time on Friday my kids will be going to see New Moon.
On a sad note, talked to my friend who's daughter went through battle stations yesterday and today, 4 recruits did not pass. So either they will repeat battlestations imediately and stand in the gallery during PIR tomorrow or get held back. So Sad.

Yes Jacquie I can do that when I get back from GL. That is a great idea. Good luck all you Mom, GF and gmas of division 1 & 2. We are praying for your sailors success.

Hello all ~ As a N4M member, please think about what you would like others to read about your SRs. Think about what your SRs have included in their letters to you. Think about the family members of others, including RDCs. Some of you may not like my opinion here, but my entire career has encompassed maintaining, as well as enforcing, the confidentiality of others. With that said, if you have posted comments about SRs being set back, sent home, tragic events that others may not want to read about themselves, or tragedies/conditions relating to mental illness, slamming RDCs (believe me YOU would not want that job!), please consider removing them from this "Comment Wall" or requesting the page creator to do it for you.
Just because your SR sent you information in snail mail, does not mean it should be public knowledge. Please respect the privacy of others.
Happy Veteran's Day
