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"

Ditter called and he is a sailor. I am so looking forward to meeting everyone. MomofLP are you ready to go and when did you get your call? I of course got mine when I was in between classes, but really on had four minutes to talk. He did get a chance to call back later, so I really felt loved. I didn't even think to ask how he did, just if he was a sailor. So, So excited.

Congrats to the new sailors of 918/105/106!

popeyesgirl: Some recruiters give the SRs this website...others don't. I found it through googling after my son left. If his recruiter told him about it, he never told me. Not sure how we can "spread the word." Even if the recruiters all tell the SRs, some may not pass the info on. :-(

My son is a sailor. I can't wait until we leave on Thursday and get to the meet and greet. Thank you all for the support in this great journey. Almost forgot, he is division 106.

My boy is a sailor! He received a perfect score. All of Div. 918 made it through and said that Battle Stations was fun. Congrats to all of our new sailors today! Big hugs coming up Friday :-)
