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."

hi all in ship 12/div 153. in reading some comments/posts in other divisions, i want to make sure i am not in any way saying anything that could embarrass my sr. i am going to try to keep things here on n4m's somewhat vague. just know we are all in this together and as for questions and support we are here for each other. seems like we have a wonderful support system with the veteran moms/wives, i thank them for that. i hope one day to be able to pass it on to newbies. i am so looking forward to meeting you, even if just for a quick hug in great lakes. have a great week-end.
