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."

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.
~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.
~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.
~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:
• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:
• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.
Some Suggestions:
~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.
~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option
~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Well graduation is tomorrow and I still have not heard from my SR. I prayed I would get a call but none came. So what do I do next? Would she have liberty this weekend if she does not participate in PIF.

I tried to look on past posts but have not seen, but I am hoping that everyone in the 299 passed!! I am too far away with other children to travel up to see him, so this site is a Godsend!! Love it!

I printed this prayer out when my Sailor daughter was in Boot Camp last year for her Navy scrapbook. My copy had everything pertaining to my daughter being a she/her, but I changed it here for a male recruit. Here you go!
A Parent's Prayer fo a Navy Recruit
Father, in the coming days, I will need You,
but my Recruit will need You more!
Let him perform his tasks with a sense of duty,
not out of anger or vengance.
Let his reflexes be quick and his hands steady.
Let his head be clear and his eyes sharp.
Let his mind and body be strong and his spirit stronger.
Christ, please stand by my Recruit and watch his back
when he cannot.
Father, I love this Recruit of mine!
Take from ME what he needs and give me what he does not.
I will pace the nights, if it means he does get some sleep
I will deal with fatigue, if it means he will have energy.
I will carry his fear. if it means it gives him courage.
I will take his pain, if it means he is healthy and whole..
I will take his anger, if it means he is at peace.
Take my love and pride and let him feel it!
Let him know that I am with him every step of the way!
Please take from me what You can; I give it willingly
and with love. It is all I have besides my prayers.
Above all, please help my Recruit to achieve his goal
of becoming...
A United States Navy Sailor!!
This I ask on bended knee, that which
I cannot do without YOU!
AMEN~~
