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."

You know you're on the Navy for Moms site too much when.....you have to develop a spreadsheet of your friends, their kids name, division number and PIR date!!!
I did that for a while, but after 4,000 plus members, I would have to quit my day job.
That was a spiffy idea!
when your husband asks well...anything new? Let me see.
too funny, you know your an addict when...

It's funny, you can tell when people are at work. You go to the site and you might see that someone is on line for maybe a split second. It's like (well let me just check it real quick here while I'm at work). Addicted~~ what cha gonna do?


Did someone mention 12 steps? Ha1

You know you're addicted to N4M when you get on during a break at work and just can't get off until you have read ALL the posts and when the phone rings (& it's your job to answer it) you think to yourself - ah well, if it's important they'll call back! DUH! Guilty as charged! I so have to learn more self control - tee hee hee

I just remind myself -there are worse things!
My husband mentioned a 12 step program but he said that we could never do it because first, we have to admit that we have a problem. (Problem, what problem?) LOL!
Must be an aerial spraying of something going on. We don't have ADHD

we have AN4MA

I need therapy!
Photobucket
I love it!! Instead of this forum are we going to have a site for N4MA that we can go to? Who's our fearless leader aka counselor? We need to nominate someone. I can think of a few. How about you?
We are all addicted! We might have to have outside help. LOL
