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."

You may also want to join CARRIER Families! and/or Duty Station NAS Oceana, VA Beach VA. What is your Sailor's rating (job/specialty)? There may be a group for that as well.

When you see questionable posts or that that violate OPSEC (as the post does) and/or violate the Community Guidelines, then copy the link to the post (you may need to click on the little Permalink symbol next to the reply to make sure that you are copying the link for the comment) and then go to "Report an Issue" at the bottom of any page on N4M and paste the link and let Erin know about it.

Hello Sheila. A few days ago I received my granddaughters form letter. But her box with her belongings hasn't arrived yet. From what I'm reading, I should have received her box first. It's been 17 days. How do I find out where her things are? Thanks

Hi Coach Shelia.  I too share your son's b-day. :) Don't feel bad about not going to this other graduation.  It really is SHORT according to my son.  He was more preoccupied with how many bags he could bring on the plane coming home.  So happy for you.  You'll be seeing him shortly.
