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."

Welcome CNKNALL! You're in the right place. We've been posting here since 2/8 so you can scroll back through the post! The 807 & 808 divisions are not allowed to post pics of our sons or use last names, but there are other groups you might want to join as well. If you click under groups you'll see them all! I think we're all getting anxious to hear our son's stories and how their doing.

Finally got a 10 min call from my husband yesterday! He sounded good. It was bittersweet, but glad I got to hear his voice.

I am so glad you got that call! Even though being separated is hard, hearing his voice probably made you feel better. A letter is great, but receiving that phone call and hearing their voice is much more reassuring.

Please read the OPSEC guidelines posted below. This is a public forum and you should not post what div are in a class, how many guys are in, when they move, etc. This group is a public one that anyone can read whether they belong to N4M's or not. Please be careful when posting. If you have questions please let me know.
