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 diannep on January 16, 2011 at 6:30pm: Good question, Jean. They normally open at 9 am GL time, I think, so maybe just give them a call tomorrow and see. 847-688-2405

Comment by diannep on January 16, 2011 at 6:29pm: Jake's Fiance: There is a site for wives on N4M's so you may want to ask this question on that. Look for it under GROUPS.

Comment by diannep on January 16, 2011 at 6:28pm: It may well be, LWEatonNC, so welcome and stay here unless you find out differently!

Comment by LWEatonNC (AWF Oceana) on January 16, 2011 at 5:58pm: I think my nephew may be in this group, although I've received no information from anybody!

He flew from Raleigh to New York City Thursday night, and arrived in Chicago at 10:27 that night; he called me from the plane, but I haven't heard a word since then.

I am assuming he thought that was the "I'm here call." I don't know his PIR date, but I assuming it may be this group.

Comment by Jake'sFiance (Ship12 Div 091) on January 16, 2011 at 5:50pm: I have a question. It says on the START guide they gave my fiance to read before bootcamp, that E-3's and below do not get shipped out to another country if they have a dependant (My fiance is an E-3 in bootcamp right now. He left Jan.6th) Is this true?

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 16, 2011 at 3:25pm: Is the Public affairs office open On MLK day?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 16, 2011 at 2:54pm: That is so confusing to so many families. Hopefully that will be straightened out tomorrow when the Public Affairs office opens up.

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 16, 2011 at 2:52pm: I just received my son's letter He is on Ship 12 Div 91 it said that his grad date is March 4th. So I am confused

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 16, 2011 at 2:32pm: You are all very welcome. I really do understand, it has only been about 5 months since my sailor graduated boot camp. Since then she has gotten engaged, graduated from A-school, gotten married, graduated C-school, joined her fleet with the Ragin' Bulls and The Harry S Truman, and is in the next week so coming home to move all her belongins to her new apartment. I feel like I am on a never-ending merry-go-round that is attached to a roller-coaster. What a ride. I love this site and being able to help other moms and wives etc makes me feel somewhat grounded. I am happy to help. If you get the chance check out my page and pics.
