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 Phil's_mom on January 7, 2012 at 12:08pm: MA training starts on Monday for my SR. He sounds good and am excited for him. Ivan we send packages yet, or do we have to wait for another phase?

Comment by Mary...Brittsmom on January 4, 2012 at 8:44pm: My daughter returned to Lackland on Dec 29 she will graduate this Friday Jan 06. Coming home again. Due to all of her traveling I will not be going to her pinning. Hoping someone will get pictures and post them.

Comment by Angelshine on January 3, 2012 at 7:59am: Good evening! My daughter just arrived SA today 01/02/2012 from 2 weeks Xmas leave... It was a wonderful holiday celebration w/our family.

But sadly her pinning is coming tentatively this 3rd week of January 2012? Due the far distance of our family origin we cannot attend the pinning. Would some one be able to post the pictures? kindly get in touch w/ me, if it is ok.

Also, does anyone know the cause of delay?

Happy New year everyone!

Comment by Phil's_mom on December 30, 2011 at 11:38am: Good morning. My son leaves for SA next week where he will begin his A school. N4M's has been an amazing support system for me. I am sure it will continue here in this group. If your sailor is beginning his/her training in January, please friend me so we can stick together throughout the next 7-8 weeks.

Happy New Year to all!

Comment by Miss Suzanne on November 24, 2011 at 3:44pm: Well, its that time. My son has graduated A School, and is off to C School to learn how to be a dog handler!
I've enjoyed my time here, meeting some very nice ladies! God bless and protect all of you and your Sailors. :-) please feel free to keep in touch with me, if you wish...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Comment by Miss Suzanne on November 19, 2011 at 8:00pm: Peytsmom -- big hug to you for the wonderful pictures! I hope you enjoyed the ceremony, and that your own Sailor is as happy as mine is to be done with A School, and to be going of to start his new life/new post! :-)

Comment by Miss Suzanne on November 4, 2011 at 7:44pm: Peyt's mom -
Thank you, I will do that! :-)

Comment by Peyt's Mom on November 2, 2011 at 11:55pm: Miss Suzanne...sorry I haven't been on the discussion in a while. I am still planning of going to SA for graduation. I sent you a friend request a few minutes ago. Message me and we will get things going for some pics of your sailor at graduation.

Comment by JustMe from NJ on November 1, 2011 at 9:55pm: Bewaiting - you'd probably have to send it overnight via Fed-Ex or US mail with dry ice. Maybe they have information on their websites. Try www.usps.gov
Good luck.

Comment by bewaiting4 (09/316) on November 1, 2011 at 6:09pm: Sorry I been away for so long. Can some one help me. My son is asking for home cooking. How to send to him with ice?
