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 wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 22, 2011 at 7:18am: Good morning! Tygerh, that's the word I was looking for last night...comraderie. I guess I kind of feel like the new kid at school in the other groups. But, like you said, it should be in time. I hope all your sailors are enjoying their A school so far. I know mine is! She got very lucky and is rooming with a girl who shares her core values and it's working out quite nicely so far!!!

Comment by tygerh on September 22, 2011 at 6:08am: wbradford - I know the feeling. The comraderie that we had here isn't there with the new group but I'm hoping it will be in time.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 21, 2011 at 11:36pm: I've moved over as well, but those folks have their own thing going on and it makes it hard to jump in on conversations. Oh well...I'm sure I'll get used to it. :)

Comment by Pennie on September 21, 2011 at 9:26pm: sheshe I know its a little strange. I check this group several times today dont want to give it up. I have joined the Nuke moms group as well but this group will always be my favorite. It got me thru so much can't give it up!

Comment by Aproudmom on September 21, 2011 at 9:21pm: Still here every once in a while. I am also trying to lend my support to my son-n-laws PIR group.

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on September 21, 2011 at 9:18pm: I am having withdrawals from here. Where is everyone?

Comment by tygerh on September 21, 2011 at 7:46pm: Definitely - I also send out a big thank you to everyone who lended me their support and helped keep my spirits up! It's feels kind of strange now that we are branching out into different groups. I almost feel lost but I am sure I will establish a new connection with my new group soon. I hope to stay in touch with everyone as well. diannep - thanks for your sound advice throughout. I have seen you back on the bootcamp site and I am trying to lend my support there. I don't have all the answers for them like you seem to but I will definitely try.

Comment by diannep on September 21, 2011 at 7:57am: You're very welcome, Kimmie. Thanks for such kind words! Now that you all are N4Moms veterans too, please feel free to reach out to the "newbies" with any advice you can give. It is very helpful to them, but so rewarding for you!

Ok, leaving this group once again...blessings to all of your sailors in their next steps!
