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 bluewarriorlady on December 26, 2010 at 2:03am: I am sorry that many of you couldnt see your recruits for the holiday. I will say that they do look sharp in their uniforms and are in great shape! It was amazing to see them march to the families. I can assure you that they were well taken care of today! I love you all and continue to pray for phone calls and letters and liberty for all of you.

Comment by joyceann on December 26, 2010 at 1:13am: For the family of the recruits who went to the Elks Lodge today, the pics are up!! I found mine-hope you can find yours!

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 26, 2010 at 12:05am: All smiles since the BEST gift a Mother could ask for was given/received when the 1st of several phone calls came from my SR!! Whoohoo:-)

Praise God for the volunteers who gave their time to allow our SR to have a memorable 1st Christmas away from home and to make new memories with their Navy family:-)

Comment by joyceann on December 26, 2010 at 12:04am: Nate's Mom-God Bless you for taking care of our children. I started this morning crying my eyes out for 3 hours. My son called several times today, I feel so much better now, and he sounded on top of the world. No words can explain how much I appreciate what you did today. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Comment by Debbie2 on December 25, 2010 at 11:02pm: My son was adopted by an org. He went to Indiana today for dinner at a church.

Comment by Debbie2 on December 25, 2010 at 11:01pm: I was sent a photo to my cell phone, someone took for the boys and then sent it to the three moms. My son did tell me that there were people there that were saying they were with N4M's and that pictures would be posted on the site. I have not seen any as of yet.
