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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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 Tara-Sailor Mom on April 29, 2013 at 8:25pm: Yay!! Keep those candles lit until all the SR's are ready for graduation.

Comment by de40192ship13 on April 29, 2013 at 6:56pm: Congratulations everyone!

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2013 at 6:54pm: ellen: Actually, I had thought that there was only one previous all-female division before also. Lala corrected me and said that there have been others. In fact, I believe there was one pretty recently as I remember seeing the pik. Will doublecheck on that.

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2013 at 6:50pm: missG: It is possible that the division is an all-female division. They are having those now.

Congrats to the new sailors today!

Comment by Rachel/Corpsman mom on April 29, 2013 at 6:38pm: Congrats to all of you with New Sailors. I am waiting very impatiently for my call. Hope to meet you all at Sarges.

Comment by MamaKrayKray on April 29, 2013 at 6:34pm: I have stalked the mailman to the point that he may be getting a restraining order; I have stealthily followed any FedEx truck within a 50 mile radius; I have smelled dirty clothes that have not made it out of the box yet; I have spent a small fortune on stamps and ink jet cartridges; I have carried my phone in my bra; I have cried a river of sad & happy tears; and I have made many friends from all over the country - I must be a NAVY MOM OFFICIALLY!!! HOOYAH!!!! He's a Sailor!!!!
