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 got my flight & hotel booked yesterday!  I'm so glad to see so many got phone calls. I'm sure if anyone didn't it was because they were busy. Mine said he has PT 6 days a week and they study every spare minute they have.  Said he is learning to iron... darn I should have had him iron my clothes the 7 months he was in DEP then he would have been a pro :)

Good Morning All !

Hi Everyone!  My son called earlier today, too! This was his first call since the "I'm Here" call.  It sounds like many in Div 139 and 140 were able to make phone calls today.  I know that would sure make a lot of happy mommas. 

My son sounded positive, which was a huge relief.  Now I know that he will definitely finish.  Just 6 more weeks. I also asked him how the individuals in his division were working together, and he said "Good" --  so it sounds like its a good group.

He says he's eating well, that the galley has cookies and brownies, and that he is probably gaining weight.  He said they don't go outside much, but when they do they dress in 5 layers including a parka, so they don't get cold. I understand that many recruits in Div 139 got their wisdom teeth out yesterday -- and those that did will have 2 days to rest. He said that he has been receiving my letters and that he sent out a letter to me (I have to check the mailbox).  They can only write on Sundays ... if they have the time.

I hope you all get to hear from your SR soon, too!

Oh okay thanks

It has been a great Saturday. Received his first letter home and got a phone call as well. He sounds really good. The phone call came at a good time, his brother was home and we got to talk to him together. He was also able to call his girlfriend and his dad. I feel so proud of of him.
I can't wait for 04/11. He is ship 14 div 136.

Comment by Lita on March 1, 2014 at 9:27pm
Got to hear my son's voice! Yeah! Hang in there all... Your call is coming. Big hug to all of you.
Comment by diannep on March 1, 2014 at 9:06pm

shannon:  Hang in there....even in the same division, sometimes some call, others don't (they may have had watch, etc)...some write, others don't.  No rhyme or reason. Hope you get a call or letter soon....keep your phone close at all times!
