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 sweetgen91 on December 4, 2010 at 5:58pm: Does anyone know what to include in the itinerary?

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 4, 2010 at 5:39pm: I am glad you all are getting calls... I am really wondering if they are going to let J call home.. I haven't got a call yet and I am starting to wonder.

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on December 4, 2010 at 5:10pm: S called! best 30min ever. he said he got a marksmanship medal for being an "expert" at shooting - something only 1% of recruits get. baha. he says he doesn't want to ever leave there (boot camp) and that the navy is the best thing ever. O_O when he talks, he sounds just like my dad (retired AF). so happy & proud. :)

divisions 31 & 32 are brother divisions, BTW.

Comment by proudmom ship03 div028 on December 4, 2010 at 5:04pm: I emailed my sons flight info Tuesday before Thanksgiving and just gat a response yesterday. They are backed up I guess because they said they had just received it.I sent a hard copy to my son as well.
. Mary you and your family are in my prayers.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 4, 2010 at 4:41pm: Just finish talking with my son 30 minutes!!!!!

Comment by Donna_ship12_div029 on December 4, 2010 at 4:36pm: Mary - I'm sorry to hear about your father in law, you all will be in our prayers.

Everyone, I just wanted to pass on some info, I talked to my daughter today and Div 29 will be doing BS Dec 19 as it stands.
The other thing is, please be careful about who you become friends with on Facebook and what you post on there. there have been some recent issues and the RDC's find out about it and the recruits pay for it. I personally don't post anything to do with the navy on facebook. Just a friendly reminder.

Comment by navymamax3 on December 4, 2010 at 4:24pm: hi everyone. I'm new to n4m but not new to the navy. I now have three sons in the Navy and one in the Army. I've been learning stuff about it for 8yrs. This is my first Navy graduation I will be attending however. I wonder if it is possible to get more than four seats as we will be having a family gathering because of the closeness of Christmas. We will be 9 or 10 strong including three small children. Any hope of all of us going to graduation?
