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 diannep on September 20, 2011 at 9:32am: You all are scaring me with this "bad" inlaw talk! Uh oh...so....please give me hints on how to someday, if my sons make me one, be a good mother-in-law? I had a wonderful mother-in-law...and I think my late hubby liked mine??? But still....ok, I'm ready to hear suggestions! :-)

Comment by diannep on September 20, 2011 at 9:29am: Can all of you from 946 who have a BattleStations date please message me to confirm this? Looks like we could be "skipping" a night again, which is unusual.

Also, waiting to hear from 327/328. If anyone has a BattleStations date for them, please message me or Message the Group. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on September 20, 2011 at 9:28am: Just a headsup, ladies. Please do not start a separate alumni group for this PIR group. What we like to see you all do is "retitle" the group with Alumni or Sailors, or something to that effect, in the title --after PIR-- so that the ladies can all stay on here and continue chatting. We have had a couple of instances where ladies have immediately started separate Alumni groups...that clogs up N4Moms and it may result in the PIR group eventually being deleted. That would be sad because you will enjoy going back to that group and re-visiting comments made in the beginning vs the end!

So, please stay on this group after PIR...and aggiemom, you can title it as you like to indicate that you all now have sailors---after PIR!

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on September 20, 2011 at 8:20am: Vonecia: Lord thank you for the laugh in the morning also!!! I can appreciate that comment also. Hence why I was saying I was going to jump on my in laws back if i was cold. lol. but as horselover said just keep your eye on the prize!

Drods's mom: Hang in there! 9 days to go!!! :)

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on September 20, 2011 at 8:19am: Vonecia - I feel your pain. I only have a 4 1/2 hour drive with mine and I am still not looking forward to it. I have already decided - I'm driving. I refused to be trapped in the back seat. :-)

Comment by Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on September 20, 2011 at 8:10am: Vonecia, I am sorry, I am laughing at the in-law thing! I completely understand that! Took me 26 years of marriage to finally be able to tolerate my in-laws.

Now things are great. So hang in there!! LOL

Sorry, you just made me laugh so early in the morning...

Comment by DRod's mom (HM-S.A.) on September 20, 2011 at 7:30am: Thanks ladies, not that it is good but at least I know it is not just my SR. So close. I miss him though. I do feel better now, knowing. Wouldn't make it without you all. Von: I will pray for your trip, just know the end result is worth anything! Have a great day ladies

Ladies please pray for me I have to make a 15 hour drive with my in laws who are 2 of 6 of the most annoying people I know when will this nightmare end.
