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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 25, 2011 at 6:15pm: I know proud2baNavyMom asked for help administrating. Is there one or two moms that can do that? Really the thing you would be watching for is innapropriate posts. As an administrator you MAY delete innapropriate posts in the discussion Forums. Just one or two would help out to monitor the Discussions Forum posts. I think this would really be a good idea for the SPECOPS especially.

We don't want to have TOO many administrators but one or two moms would help.

Please let her know if you are interested.

Thank you.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 25, 2011 at 6:06pm: Correct...for OPSEC as far as last names and ...to "fly under the radar" as far as BC. I just had a mom post on BC Moms that she posted some info from her sons letter, innocent stuff...liked the food, PT, everything was great and he got called in by the RDC and got IT for "loving it". She said she didn't use ANY names! This is the first time I have EVER heard of this. I posted back and asked her HOW he put 2 and 2 together (like maybe something specific she said and/or a pic)! I am waiting for an answer. I might post directly to her page if I don't hear back.

Comment by past45 on August 25, 2011 at 5:21pm: Thanks Fireteamleaderwife! Yes another mom is in the discussion, but if there are other moms send them to the discussion. Thanks so much for your leadership in this area. As far as pictures of SR and names of SR, we shouldn't have them, even at this point of the journey, correct?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 25, 2011 at 5:05pm: Yes, have the discussion group! Your recruits (800's) are going to be training harder than the rest...much more PT...you will really need each other...for support and to remember to laugh sometimes. That's for ALL of this group and...That's an order!

Read OPSEC and follow that. I think a SPECOP mom may have joined the group. I'll check later.

Comment by past45 on August 25, 2011 at 4:38pm: Fireteamleaderwife,I sent a friend request, as I was not sure regarding a couple of things on the 820 discussion group, should we not have a discussion group for this DIV?, or just the pictures of SR, etc? I know the no pictures/names things, but I am new to this, and as new ones come to the discussion, I don't want to lead them astray...

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 25, 2011 at 12:31pm: We've seen up to 345 on here,,,so that would make it eight so far...that's with the two 800 div and the 900 div.

I have seen reports up to div 349 on BC Moms. Trying to see if these moms have a PIR date. IF that's part of this group we would be up to eleven.

Have had some large TG's recently...several with thirteen div.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 25, 2011 at 11:32am: Yay proud!

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 25, 2011 at 9:15am: Woo Hoo finaly got my email changed and don't have to worry about a hacker now yeah!!!!!

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2011 at 8:48am: Gate passes for the 9/9 PIR group will be up Monday as well....Monday is a big day for many on N4Moms! :-)

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 25, 2011 at 8:37am: Thanks Lala I will wait and look Monday all of you veteran moms are the best. I know myself and probably all the newbies would be lost without you all
