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"

Anna,
Is your SR up on the candidates and issues? If he is not current on that, you may not want to spend the postage forwarding that bigger piece of mail to him~~ Write him first in your own personal letter or ask him if he calls this weekend. Keep a pad for questions to ask when he calls~~

Anna: I don't see why he couldn't have that....is it thick? If so, he will have to open the envelope in front of his RDCs. Can it be enclosed with your letter to him? Does he know that you will be sending it?

Question...just got a ballot in the mail, can I send it to him? It would be ok to mail it to him in another envelope? It's just a special election, I haven't even opened mine yet...

Hi Friends!
"My soul finds rest in God alone,
my salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation.
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken."

Anna - That is TOO funny!

Gotta call!!! Answered "HEY buddy!! how are you!!!???" He's like geez mom how did you know? LOL DIV 134 is doing well and made the decision as a group to clean up as opposed to spending extra time at the NEX last week, so that is why we may not have gotten many calls. They seem to be in a good DIV, although talkative. A huge weight has lifted, he's happy and doing well!! Pray you all hear from yours soon!!

Good Morning! I hope all have a good weekend and receive special phone calls!
-

Hey everyone, I want to give you a "HEADS UP" to be prepared to receive calls from your SRs this weekend! The call will show up as "847", "Waukegan, IL", "Pay Phone", or "Government" or anything else that may be unfamiliar. If it is a sales call, just politely tell them "No, thank you." Please also let your family members know about this too~~
During this time in Boot Camp, please keep your cell phones charged, ready, and with you all the time---upstairs, downstairs, out in the backyard, in the bathroom, out to get the mail, of course, out on errands. If you are going to a loud restaurant or a movie theater, remember to put it on "vibrate" and put in your pocket or some place you can feel it. They can call during the week or weekend, so just be prepared: 6:00 am - 6:00 pm (Pacific/West Coast); 7:00 am - 7:00 pm (Mountain time); 8:00 am - 8:00 pm (Central/Great Lakes time); 9:00 am - 9:00 pm (Eastern Coast).
