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."

I learned that I have to take responsiblity too. Information isn't just handed out, especially about Special Warfare. I learned that this is NOT at all easy and I truely understand that the families sacrifice too. I also know now that every letter I write and picture sent means an abundant amount to these sailors. It is so important that we encourage them when they begin to have second thoughts. They don't get enough credit for what they do. I know this is just the beggining.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

It seems ABSOLUTELY rediculous to me that I can not be there for him when i have been in this Navy thing from the start and am not going to be able to get to him. This is scareing me very much. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!! SOmeone has top… Continue

I didn't feel like it

I didn't feel like it...Those are probably the 5 most hurtful words I have felt in a while. My sailor hadn't contacted me in quite some time. He finally does and his reponce for why we haven't talked was I didn't feel like it. He has been in the navy now for 11 months and we have been together for a year and 7 months, I never thought he would just chose NOT to talk to me. I though maybe he got deployed early and I was praying so hard for his safety. He does special ops stuff and sometimes I… Continue

Hi Addison'sBG! I just got your message! Shane is an MA currently stationed in San Diego for training before going to Bahrain. Prior to that he was in Mississippi for training and before that his duty station was Norfolk. Where is your sailor stationed? They just might know each other... I find it hard to beleive that the name thing is just a coincidence. As far as the friend invite thing goes... When I click on that it goes to a page that has my hotmail e-mail address and wants me to use that invite friends (Iguess from my contact list)How to I invite a N4M member to be a friend and how do I know that they got the invite
