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 March 16, 2012 at 5:01pm: CTSailor - TY for asking first about names...last names of Sailors may not be used anywhere on the N4M site.

Your letter sounds wonderful! Sounds like he is doing very well! ;-)

Comment by momof4 on March 16, 2012 at 5:01pm: Re: N4M and FB. Have connected on both sites. Any, all info I can get makes this time so much easier!

Comment by CTsailor (03/118 PIR 4/13/12) on March 16, 2012 at 4:45pm: Stephen's Girl- Thank you!! And thanks for filling me in on TAPS!

Comment by Stephen's Girl(ship12div121) on March 16, 2012 at 4:39pm: Ct so happy for your letter! I'm so glad your sr is doing good! Btw taps is not an acronym its the name of a song that a trumpet plays to signal the end of the day, so when the refer to taps itts just the end of the day

Comment by CTsailor (03/118 PIR 4/13/12) on March 16, 2012 at 4:31pm: Hi ladies!! Received a letter from my SR yesterday-- for those of you who didn't get a letter, I will share some of mine :)

He has been writing after TAPS (which he says is "time for sleep"-- not sure what the acronym is) so I got a lot more letters than last week! He sounds a lot stronger than in his last letter and since I talked to him on the phone. He says that talking to me on the phone last week was "the worst phone call ever" because it only made him miss me more. He said that he was in the top 7 out of like 80 people to get a 4.7 out of 5.0 on their first test. He also passed his first PFA (he was on LLD when they took it early last week and didn't know if he'd get to make it up when I talked to him on the phone last Thursday)-- he got promoted to E-2 and is psyched about that! They got "jar head" hair cuts-- says they don't look "too bad" lol...He keeps says that the division isn't working together and they are very chatty so they keep getting IT. They lost the privilege of using the curtains on the stalls, so apparently they are all getting very comfortable with going to the bathroom next to each other! He mentioned a few of the guys he is friends with (not sure if I can say their names on here???) He also asked that I tell him the names of some of the people I know from his division on here to see if he knows any your sons/boyfriends/husbands.

I'm so happy for him-- he seems so much happier than a week ago :)

Comment by spring932 on March 16, 2012 at 4:19pm: diannep.... I would NEVER leave N4Ms..... I think most of us are just creating FB pages since RTC is removing the Forums :(

I told 4 people on RTC FB about N4Ms :)

Comment by diannep on March 16, 2012 at 4:14pm: You ladies going over to FB to get to know one another...remember to stay on here too...because we N4Moms veterans will be dispensing info...consistently....on these pages!

Comment by mamabeans on March 16, 2012 at 3:31pm: PI= Personal Inspection (inspection of a recruit's personal appearance and uniform)

DMI= departmental material inspection (inspection of bed making, folding, and stowing of gear)

Comment by Rla1164 on March 16, 2012 at 1:59pm: My daughter is in 117 too and she is a section leader. Not sure what that means. I just looked and today they should be on 4-1 which is their next PFA for the Olympic Flag. Lets send good vibes there way!

@Kahlis mom - (or anyone else) we have a fb group for 117 set up if you want if you want to join it send me a message and I will get you the details.
