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."

A heart-felt THANK YOU to all who have and are currently serving!

Comment by Momofahousefull on September 7, 2015 at 9:40am

@Mamawalrus - I still check in about once a week. Things are going well with our sailor. He'll be reenlisting when the time comes and will move to a new location early next year. In the meantime, looking forward to all 5 being home for Christmas with their spouses, children, & 1 fiance!

I agree that this group was a blessing going through those first few months leading up to PIR! Miss hearing from you! May you continue to have fairwinds!

Hi all. Not sure if anyone still checks this group. I saw a mom on another site ask about a group for Navy and of course I recommended N4m! What a blessing it was to go through such an amazing experience with everyone!

Four years since PIR. Hope all of you and your sailors are doing well! Mine has finished his 3rd deployment and we just returned from seeing my soldier (my sailor's brother) off on his first deployment. Thanks for all who serve!

Happy New Year to all! May your sailor be blessed with a wonderful year wherever they are as they realize that there are many who respect and honor their commitment and pray for their safety and success.

Three years goes by very fast at times.  Very slow at other times.

Comment by Momofahousefull on December 7, 2013 at 10:10am

Angies: Grateful for all who served then, those who enlisted because of what happened and served faithfully, and for those who continue to serve as protectors of our nation.

Here we are... another anniversary.

Comment by Momofahousefull on November 11, 2013 at 10:59am

Thankful today for our sailors, Marines, soldiers, airmen, and coasties who have or are currently serving and protecting us! Thank you for your part in encouraging and enabling your son / daughter to serve as well!
