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."

Molly,
I'm new here at N4M. It is a fun place to be and this is a perfect example of that. To see all these wonderful comments and cute graphics from some really nice people. You are blessed.
It helps to share our pains and our joys...and share we do. Brenda has some fun ideas up her sleeve. I like the way she thinks.

An hour ago I sat at my desk at work and just thought of all my son could be missing with not even one person just to hug him and say happy birthday AND boy did I feel bad !
Now ............ I have laughed, and have gotten hungry (thanks Rose and CC ) have smiled and felt very warm with all the love that comes from this place.
My navy moms are awesome. (( smiles ))
