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."

My son's recruiter told me about this site. When I dropped him off, they said that this site would know more than they could ever tell me.

I saw an advertisement in a magazine. Good Housekeeping I think. This is a wonderful idea and I wish I had known about this site from the very beginning. My son went to boot camp in Feb 2008 and is now deployed. Thanks for all of the information as "men" are not very forthcoming about information sometimes!

I work for a very large company and on Veterans Day Eve there was an email that listed all the veterans working for our company, so I looked at the Navy list choose about a dozen women (since my daughter is in) and sent them a thank you for there service and a response came telling me about the site, since then I've seen a commercial on TV.

My son just went overseas weds. I've been a wreck every since, but trying to fake it for the rest of the family's sake.
I opened a new "Good Housekeeping" mag and the first two pages for "navy for moms" ad. I started crying.
It was like a gift from God. Saying, "that women needs to talk to someone", so i'll just give this to her.

I just happened to google US Navy- that is how I found the site. I learned the www.nstc.mil site from the form letter they send home with their mailing address. N4Ms site is the best by far. If you have a question, there is someone that has been there... done that.....
