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"

I agree with ellen here.  I certainly hope that her SR is found and some of his shipmates let him know that she would love to hear from him!

Comment by ellen0502 on February 14, 2014 at 12:16am

Good Evening ladies (and gentlemen)

Nicksmom is looking for her son as you see from her post. Please understand we all would like to help her, and give her the information she is looking for, but you cannot!!!

The best you can do for her is pass the word along to your SRs that she is looking for him, and have them ask him to give her the information personally.  You cannot give out another recruits information. The Navy can't/won't, neither can you!!!

Thanks Lorraine, I look forward to making your ribbons :) I hope you don't get too much snow. I am actually surprised at how quickly it is melting :) But they said maybe a little more tomorrow morning. Thanks ellen :) 

I am so sorry NickSmom, it is so sad when families don't really support each other. I hope you can get it from her or that your son writes you a letter and gives it to you. With 9 divisions and approx 80 recruits per division it would be very hard to figure out where he is with him getting that info to you himself. Good luck :)

Hi Jennifer: What languages does your boy speak? My son speaks fluent Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, as well as conversational French and Russian. He also studies Arabic, but it's a tough one. He's always looking for someone to practice languages with - I hope they connect!

Comment by Jennifer on February 13, 2014 at 5:01pm
I received a letter from my husband (DIV 919) today, it was so good to see his handwriting!

Hi Lala, I feel for ya. We're getting hit pretty hard in the north east too. By the way, how can I order some of those PIR ribbons? 

Comment by Annychiquita on February 13, 2014 at 2:16pm

Hi Ladies, hope your kids are doing fine....I am just dying to see a pic of my son division 112...But I think it is not possible :(

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 13, 2014 at 1:04pm

Good morning everyone, it looks like our weather put us on the national news lol. We didn't get as much as they forecast but that's okay with me. We still have about 10 inches and the possibility of more today. My hubby has been out shoveling all morning and taking care of the neighbors too. I hope everyone is warm and has power. Our daughter in college has been without power for since yesterday morning :(
