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."

Comment by DavesMom on May 12, 2014 at 1:51pm: Hi everyone! Belated Happy Mother's Day! For some reason N4M was inaccessible from work computers, but I tried it today and ... bingo! Hope all of you are well. My sailor and his wife are home for 10 days. What a great Mother's Day gift!! JJ, s-n-o-w?? Bummer! Stay warm. We're having Seattle type weather here. But at least there is no snow.

Comment by JJ on May 11, 2014 at 11:01pm: Snow showers in Colorado! Eric Robert also called this afternoon...just to top off those flowers!! LOL I am so blessed. It is no wonder that I am so proud of the young man that he has become.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on May 11, 2014 at 9:31pm: Happy Mothers Day all you wonderful Minnesota Moms. I got a call from my sailor, and had a great chat, it was so good to hear his voice.

Comment by JJ on May 10, 2014 at 10:24pm: Happy Mother's Day! I, too, recieved flowers from my guy! Isn't it nice to be remembered? He even remembered my birthday! Recieving flowers twice in three weeks...I feel really special. LOL

Have a great day, everybody!

Comment by J Peder on May 10, 2014 at 8:19pm: Happy Mother's Day to all. I got flowers from my son!!.
That was a big surprise!! And they shipped so well from Japan. Just kidding but to think he even ordered them is a shocker on it self.
Have a good and restful day all you Moms

Comment by carol on April 26, 2014 at 9:38pm: Missed you! Hopefully you can come next time.

Comment by MN Mom of MM on April 26, 2014 at 9:16pm: You ladies look wonderful. So sad I couldn't be there.

Comment by JJ on April 26, 2014 at 5:51pm: We had an awesome time today. Sorry that some of the Navy Moms could not make it this year. This was our 3rd Annual "Everybody's Birthday" and as always, we had a blast. Put it on your calendars for next year. It is always in April so plan ahead.

Pictured below is (front row) Amanda and Carol (Back row) Di, JJ, and Margo.

Comment by JJ on April 19, 2014 at 7:23am: One more week to go before the get together! Hope to see a lot of moms there. So far I haven't heard from many of you. Although, many that I did hear from wanted to change the date from the 19th to the 26th, so that's what I did. See you then. Remember it is "Everybody's Birthday" so bring a gift to exchange!
