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."

N4M'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 bonnielynne on February 18, 2015 at 10:02am: My Son is Ship 14 Div 131. As my husband is a veteran we plan to stay on base for PIR. Any Pros or Cons to doing that?

Comment by CatMom509 on February 18, 2015 at 5:13am: Forever proud,

Welcome back!!

Comment by CatMom509 on February 18, 2015 at 5:12am: Anna,

The time in the beginning is hardest, but with letter writing (from your pets too), looking around to take pictures to print onto the tops of your letters as "letterhead" and to fill pages (they are lighter than actual photos and you can get several on your pages). Filling your days with your other kids (if you have any), your days will go by faster. Everything you go through will be normal to us here, so pop in frequently to share. We're here for you~~ ((HUGS))

Comment by Forever proud on February 18, 2015 at 12:11am: Hi all! New to the group but not new to the Navy life. My son graduated BC a little over a year ago and is now in the fleet. His best bud is now in GL with ship 14 Div 132. His mom should be joining us here shortly, but I wanted to get on in here and see what is going on. I'll be happy to answer questions though I know the veteran moms have things well in hand. This is gonna be a fun and different perspective from last time I went through!

Comment by TML629 on February 17, 2015 at 10:36pm: 5 Eagles my son is the same Ship 14 Div 132 nice to see some one eles on here same div Are you going to RIP
