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 oneproudmamma on October 14, 2014 at 11:25am: Julie, I found this when I did a google search. http://navyformoms.com/m/blogpost?id=1971797%3ABlogPost%3A4456540
Hope this helps. :)

Comment by J-RockyMtn on October 14, 2014 at 11:11am: I know it's posted somewhere ... but is there a place in the Denver metro area where I can purchase a Ship-to-Shore card? I am getting confused by some of the choices and want to make sure I have the facts and a reliable source.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on October 6, 2014 at 12:46pm: I think the link to watch the BC video is either on the newbie site or on the BC group.

Comment by belovedbyHim on October 6, 2014 at 10:18am: ShellMichelle- Are you refering to the DEP Bootcamp Day by day at http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433 ? I agree with Julie though, since you have a kid in bootcamp you would find more and quicker answers on the bootcamp moms page and your PIR page. We'll do our best though.

Comment by J-RockyMtn on October 6, 2014 at 8:13am: Sorry - It's been so long don't remember what that is. Have you received the PIR group your son is in? Once you get his graduation date, join the PIR group here and the leader of that group will have it.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 20, 2014 at 1:55pm: I start school in S. Boulder November 10th. Anyone know of a place I can rent for reasonable or buy for around $150000-$200000?

Comment by oneproudmamma on September 20, 2014 at 1:43pm: We should all get together for lunch or dinner sometime. I would love to meet other moms in my area.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on September 19, 2014 at 9:45am: when I first joined N4Ms almost 2 years ago this group was really active and having get togethers. I kinda dropped out as a vast majority were on the front range and I live in Ouray on the western slope. I am relocating to Boulder in a month so it would be nice to connect with others over that way.
