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 Lou2 on December 20, 2010 at 10:38am: Hello Ladies

I ordered two scarves for Nate for Christmas from this website http://www.fashionscarvesandshawls.com/silkaviatorclassic.html. I thought I'd pass it along. They are silk and will not "molt."

Nate will be home tomorrow.

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on December 20, 2010 at 2:23am: My son got home on Friday, what a wonderful Christmas gift.

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on December 20, 2010 at 1:31am: my sailor is here this morning but have to sleep over at his dad's house today and tomorrow afternoon he'll be with me taking care of our marriage :)

Comment by proudksmom on December 20, 2010 at 12:27am: sailormom- isnt it great!! Mine arrived at 10pm last night.... So blessed!! Thinking of all those who are not able to be with there sailors for the holidays!

Comment by MEsailormom on December 19, 2010 at 7:39am: One happy N4M Mom here. My Sailor arrived home and all is well on the coast of Maine! Merry Christmas to all!

Comment by Abbe'sSister (Ship 03 Div 017) on December 18, 2010 at 12:39pm: fyrwife - I got the name tapes and dog tags at our local Army/Navy Store.

Comment by fyrwife (EM Nuke mom) on December 18, 2010 at 10:49am: Abbessister....can u tell us where u got the dog tags and name tapes from? The bear is awesome and a great idea. I want to copy ur idea. I love it!

I havent been on the n4m site in a while and miss all of u. It is fun to come back and catch up on all of the posts. My son is in charleston and is coming home for christmas. With such short notice on making flight arrangements it was terribly expensive but I will pay the price just to see him. I am sad for all of those whose sailors won't be coming home for the holidays. My prayers will be with you. Merry Christmas to all

Comment by Abbe'sSister (Ship 03 Div 017) on December 18, 2010 at 9:43am: Proudksmom- It is a build a bear...with many modifications...don't tell them...LOL A really good friend of mine made the NWUs and then I bought the dog tags and name tapes somewhere else. His name is HOOYAH! Thanks for everyone's well wishes. Abbe made it home yesterday. She is much happier since she moved to the other side of the base and glad to see all of the sailors from DIV 017! Thanks too to all your sailors that have made a point of congratulating Abbe since she moved over. She sure missed her division the last 2 weeks. Merry Christmas to everyone and enjoy your new sailors!

Comment by proudksmom on December 17, 2010 at 12:21am: AbbesSister--Cute profile picture, is that build a bear?? My daughter had a Navy one made for her sister with the white Navy suit, its really cute too! Enjoy your time with Abbe!! She was in my daughters division and she said Abbe is "really cool". lol
