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 John and Yvonne on April 19, 2017 at 10:36pm: The Dole Pinapple Plantation near the north shore is fabulous! Delicious Dole Whip! You have to have some. :)

Comment by LindaGirl on April 19, 2017 at 12:59am: Have fun in Hawaii CoTwinSailorsMom. We have been there twice so far & love everything about it. When we were at the Dole Pinapple Planation, I was looking through books that they had for sale, & saw the Byado In-Temple in Oahu, Hawaii, not far from the base. It is worth seeing. It was built in 1968 & is a replica of a real Japanese temple in Japan. The gardens are beautiful, filled with Koi fish ponds & small walking trails. This place is not advertised & I would not have know about it, if I hadn't come across the souvenir book at the plantation. When are you going? Wish you could pack me in your suitcase & take me along! Safe travels!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 18, 2017 at 10:30pm: Also I will be meeting two N4M members who will be there at the same time.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 18, 2017 at 10:30pm: Thanks Yvonne. I am sure my son wants to take me to the Dole plantation. He loves it there and loves their fresh pineapple ice cream. Flea market??? Count me in on that one. My son said he can see the Arizona Memorial from his barrack.

Comment by John and Yvonne on April 18, 2017 at 7:28am: CO-Twin, You will love Hawaii. If you're looking for things to see, make sure you go to the Polynesian Cultural Center. It's the most modest and complete aspect of all the Polynesian islands with lots to see in each village and also the Luau Dinner and show. And at the end of the night the show and fire dancers! Of course you should also go see the Arizona Memorial. And if you're into flea markets, on the weekends they have a huge one at the Aloha Stadium. All things worth seeing. :)

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 15, 2017 at 11:44am: My son is on a sub out of pearl harbor and there is a closed FB group for Loved ones in Pearl Harbor submarine group. They check you out first before accepting you in as it is a closed and secure group.

My son's sub has just come off dry dock. I am going to Hawaii to visit and we are both praying he does not have an unplanned underway when I go.

Comment by JayDee659 on April 12, 2017 at 10:05am: HI Patricksmom, it's good to hear from you! My SIL has orders to report in early June. My daughter (his wife) will be on a carrier and it's so easy to find info on hers but this sub thing... Talk about silent! Any advice you can give me to pass on to the SIL about sub life? I've read all the articles on this page and there's so much to absorb.

Comment by Patricksmom on April 12, 2017 at 9:46am: Hi JayDee659! My son is on the Albany. I couldn't find any other groups either. They have been in dry dock for quite a while so maybe that is why. They are supposed to move out of dry dock soon.

Comment by JayDee659 on April 11, 2017 at 8:07am: Good morning, I am new to this group. My son-in-law has just gotten his orders for the Albany. The group for the Albany on N4M seems pretty silent for a couple years and I cannot find any FB groups or information about this sub on line, other than Wikipedia. Are there any mom's here who have a son on the Albany or any information you can share with me?

Thanks!
