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 diannep on April 11, 2015 at 9:41am: Hmmm, Navy brat/mom.....wondering why the mail did not go out this past week? Maybe bad weather? Hoping the "double letters" suggestion comes true!

Good Morning All!

Comment by CatMom509 on April 11, 2015 at 1:57am: Everyone,

I just posted my "PERTINENT PIR TIPS" up in the Discussion Forum. Please check it out for any tips you could use for your onw PIR!!

Comment by Navy brat/mom on April 10, 2015 at 5:22pm: Me either, but my SR said some of the mail didn't go out when he called home Sunday. So we get double letters next week! :)

Comment by NavyGF on April 10, 2015 at 5:11pm: I didn't get any letters this week.. /:

Comment by CatMom509 on April 10, 2015 at 12:43pm: Happy Friday!

Comment by diannep on April 10, 2015 at 10:58am: Ryans_mom: I'm so sorry. Stress fractures are so very common and most heal quickly. He would be in RCU to recover....once he is medically released to train again, he will be assigned to a new PIR group/ship/div---and he will notify you right away. I know this is so disappointing, but I know he will heal and do fine! When you talk to him, just tell him that the ladies here said this is a common injury and he will heal.

Praying that we see you on another PIR group in the future with your SR in training again! In the meantime, please stay on here and update all on your son's condition.

Good Morning All !

Comment by Kiera on April 10, 2015 at 9:22am: So sorry Ryan's Mom...but the up side is that they do want to keep him! He will heal and be on his way before you know it. Hang in there!

Comment by Mama D on April 10, 2015 at 12:17am: Hey y'all... is anyone here the mama of a recruit in 02/926 who is the AROC in that division?

Trying to find you b/c my son speaks very highly of YOUR son!

Howabout any one else who's son's are on the Head Crew in that same division?

Friend me!

Comment by Aimee and Wine on April 9, 2015 at 10:56pm: @RyansMom- I am so very sorry to hear this! You must be so worried! I hope there is more information very soon! Please keep us posted, and I am praying for you guys.
