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."

Hi all!  I thought this might be a good way for us to connect!  So took the advice of some other moms.  Hopefully we can get information on when we start receiving calls and letters and other info!

I only got the "I'm here call" lasted under 2 min, and the "I'm alive call" lasted 8 min and 53 seconds LOL.  I am so ready for this last call!

TxLadyJane, I have yet to see where RTC has written not to refer to N4M.com come. When you come across that, please post the link here. Thanks!

Thanks NavyWife, and back at ya;  I can't decide if our long ordeal is over or just beginning!  Whatever, N4M is here for us.

 

Good luck to us each and every one.

LWE yep Dianne is a wealth of information!!! Ha ha I said it too LOL

 

LWE I am just so glad we found eachother and on Facebook too w/o even trying since we were both on the Facebook page.

 

I can not wait to meet everyone at the meet and greet, I am going crazy for a call right now, I think we all are at this point.

Comment by LWEatonNC (AWF Oceana) on March 8, 2011 at 3:26pm

We are leaving shortly to begin our trip to Great Lakes;  first to Charleston, WVA, tonight, and then visiting with friends in Indianapolis tomorrow night;  then Chicago and beyond.

 

I really, really would like to get my phone call telling me my nephew is a sailor SOON, so I can concentrate on packing and not watching the phone.

Uh oh, LWEatonNC:  PRESSURE NOW!  HA!  Thanks for the compliment...but I assure you, I have been wrong at times!  I try to be honest and accurate...but sometimes things are "changed up" and I'm not aware.  Like last week...for the first time since I have been on this site, a whole division from one PIR group participated in BattleStations with 2 divisions from the next PIR group. That hadn't happened in the 8-9 mos I had been doing the schedules for N4Ms for BattleStations.  Then....I had not seen them start BattleStations on Wed nights, usually it was Thurs if started the week before PIR.  Well, bingo, the Wed nights are happening now too.  So...it is a lesson in progress for me as well...I take my lashes when I'm wrong..hee hee...and feel badly if I caused confusion.  But...thanks....I do my best!  :-)

TxLadyJane:  I don't go on the RTC FB site, but have been told that any reference to N4Ms is deleted if posted there?  Just what I heard.  I wish they would understand that we are really trying to work WITH them, not AGAINST them.  The purpose of this group is for ladies to be supported while their SRs are in boot camp.  But that does involve sharing info when possible.  We try to make it as accurate as we know, and say we aren't sure when we aren't!  HA!  But I understand the strictness and privacy of the military for sure.  Once we get in sync with our GradNGo/Sat. Departure terms, I think we will all be happy...both RTC and N4Ms!
