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."

for
N4M's Community Guidelines
and
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".

Ninjavikin-I sent you a friend request with my Facebook info- I have lots of pictures of 119 there- so do a few other moms.

Comment by Ninjavikin on March 21, 2013 at 2:08am
Congratulations to all. My son was in DIV 119. It was so exciting to see all those sailors graduate. I am wondering if anyone has pics to share of DIV 119, or any pics at all. My camera was acting up so many of my pics are blurry :(
Comment by phloughb on March 21, 2013 at 1:15am

@Tam05 - it was nice meeting you as well.  So glad that your sailor and mine know each other and will be in the same location for their A schools.  Maybe our paths will cross again during their time there.

Comment by TamE on March 20, 2013 at 9:06pm

I am glad I was able to meet some of you wonderful ladies at PIR!!! Enjoyed every minute I was able to spend with my sailor. Thank you all for the valuable information and support. Hopefully our navy journeys will cross paths again!!! :-)
