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 ME forN4M'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 CatMom509 on April 17, 2013 at 4:09pm: JerseySam,

So excited for you!! To be able to hug your girl and talk to her at length and just have her around for more than 20 days!! Yippee!!

If my daughter didn't end up at Hawaii or San Diego, I wouldn't mind having her in Japan. She has always wanted to travel and Japan was on her list.

Yes, I know about the distance and all, but you will be able to plan a trip to see her there. I always thought that the time to travel was when one was young and before having family responsibilites. This is an exciting time for her~~

Congratulations on her graduation!! HOOYAH!!

Comment by Jersey Sam on April 17, 2013 at 1:06pm: My daughter is graduating today & probably be back end of this week. (I hope so) She will be back home for 20+ days & have to be in Japan by 5/24. Will be there for 3 yrs.

Comment by CatMom509 on April 16, 2013 at 4:23pm: Hello All,

     "...Preserve sound judgment and discernment,

         do not let them out of your sight;

         they will be life for you,

         an ornament to grace your neck.

         Then you will go on your way in safety,

         and your foot will not stumble,

         when you lie down, you will not be afraid;

         when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet."

                                         Proverbs 3: 21-24

Comment by CatMom509 on April 16, 2013 at 1:38am: JerseySam,

I'm curious about your daughter's adventure in Japan too!

Comment by CatMom509 on April 15, 2013 at 5:02pm: Good Afternoon, Everyone!

     "For I am the Lord, your God

      who takes hold of your right hand

      and says to you,

      'Do not fear; I will help you.'"

                            Psalm 41:13

Comment by spomss on April 14, 2013 at 10:14pm: Great news Kandilee!

JerseySam did your Sailor leave for Japan yet?

Comment by CatMom509 on April 14, 2013 at 1:27pm: Good Morning~~

      "Trust in the Lord with all your heart

       and lean not on your own understanding;

       in all your ways acknowledge Him,

       and He will make your paths straight."

                                        Proverbs 3:5-6

Comment by CatMom509 on April 13, 2013 at 5:03pm: Hello Everyone!

     "Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

      and your plans will succeed."

                                     Proverbs 16:3

Comment by spomss on April 12, 2013 at 6:25pm: My son said they are marine pushups-and that they really didn't learn them correctly at RTC even for the Navy.

She will get it and be in the next group to graduate! He just started so he will be a full 3 weeks out:)

Comment by CatMom509 on April 12, 2013 at 10:32am: Happy Friday Everyone!

     "Let your eyes look straight ahead,

      fix your gaze directly before you.

      Make level paths for your feet

      and take only ways that are firm."

                               Proverbs 4:25-26
