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 diannep on January 17, 2014 at 2:44pm: Kelly, you can only have signs on your car or in your hotel room. They are not allowed at PIR because they block others' view of their sailors!

Comment by Kelly on January 17, 2014 at 1:23pm: Those are awesome! Are we aloud to have sings? I had a sign made for my some at his graduation in the USAF. My daughter an i held it up.. im guesding not due to the size of tbe place. As all my sobs graduation wad outside. Hmm

Comment by CatMom509 on January 17, 2014 at 1:10pm: For those of you looking for a special gift for your SR-soon-to-be-Sailor, please check out www.pirgifts.com on eBay. They have Challenge Coins, which are a military tradition. Craig, who is one of the veterans on Navy for Moms, designed the ones that are connected to the ships at RTC. The name of your SR's ship is right next to the ship number in the Discussion Forum. When you click on one of the coins, you will be taken to a page where there is a video about Challenge Coins. This would be a special gift especially connected to their Boot Camp days! Another really sharp coin is the Core Values one in the section where 70 other coins are available--it has cut outs and a diamond cut beveled edge. These coins are no longer given out by the Navy to the Sailors, so it is up to friends and family. I got some as gifts for my Sailor daughter and she thought her USS Hopper (Ship 03) coin was "cool."

Comment by CatMom509 on January 17, 2014 at 1:09pm: lol!!!

Comment by ellen0502 on January 17, 2014 at 11:16am: CatMom, As much as I like chocolate...I think I'll pass.

Comment by CatMom509 on January 17, 2014 at 10:47am: Happy Friday!!

     "A good name is more desirable than great riches;

      to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."
