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."

^^^^Ladies, we can no longer post BattleStations dates on N4Moms. Sooooo....if you get a date, please "private message" it by using the "Send Message to Group" prompt at the top of the PIR page. I will maintain a schedule here and send it out to you all via the same way when it is complete. I think it is important that you all know when your SRs are going through, but we must we must maintain privacy on the public board with this info. Thanks!
