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."

CLICK MEforN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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"

Comment by eagles90 on December 30, 2013 at 12:52pm: diannep: Thank you so much for the information! Will keep the No news is good news until we have reason to do otherwise. I have every confidence in my son but I would still feel better getting that call. Worse case scenario....if we DON'T get a call, do we just proceed up to Great Lakes as planned, will someone let us know what the next step is? I like to be prepared but I feel SOOOO in the dark!

Comment by tai1257 on December 30, 2013 at 11:30am: Waiting for a call from my recruit today, it's also her 18th birthday, should be a very exciting day!

Comment by diannep on December 30, 2013 at 9:32am: Calls from 907/908 this afternoon, we hope! Keep those phones close!

jmom: We can't disclose an actual division's BattleStations date (RTC's request of us) until the morning they are finishing up. It is possible that a couple more divisions went last night with the 900 divisions, but if not, all of the remaining divisions will be done in the morning, we think. Don't think any will go on New Years Eve! :-)

Sounds like you will be celebrating a late Christmas, birthday, and of course graduation with your new sailor after PIR! Fun for him! I bet he has met some wonderful buddies at bootcamp and hopefully some will be going with him to A School. That should help with his homesickness, but remember...at A School, they are back in contact with you again. It is more like a college environment (only stricter!)....but they can call, text, email, video chat, etc....so those are all good things!

Good Morning All!

Comment by jmom on December 30, 2013 at 1:29am: Yes, that's what I'm standing on; no new is good news. Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't posted lately, because I'm having trouble posting from my phone and have to post from my laptop. I am so looking forward to seeing him. He had a birthday on yesterday and it was hard not talking to him. He's a quiet child and when he says he misses home, it makes me want to see him even more. It takes them going away to see that home wasn't bad after all. He was able to go to Mt. Sinai Institute Church for Christmas but I haven't seen any pictures. Thanks for your encourage. Where can I look and find out in the morning which Divisions went through Batlle Stations? It warms my heart to know that there are so many others caring for our SR, parents, and each other even though we have never met. This is truly what God wants us to do. Thanks.

Comment by jmom on December 30, 2013 at 1:19am: Thanks Diane B02907, my son is 11-048.

Comment by diannep on December 30, 2013 at 12:48am: jmom: Same for you....your SR has not gone through BattleStations yet. Go on no news is good news right now. Hoping you get that I'm a Sailor call in the next couple of days!

Comment by diannep on December 30, 2013 at 12:46am: eagles: Your SR has not been through BattleStations yet so your call will come towards the beginning of this week. Can't post more specifically than that but keep phones close. I'm a Sailor calls will come after 2 pm Central time. We think 2 divisions are going through tonight....I can post which ones they are in the morning.
