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 Ryan's_Mom on April 9, 2015 at 10:14pm: I got a sad phone call tonight. My son has stress fractures in his ankles and can't run so he is being placed in a recovery division and wont PIR on May 8. It was like a 2 min ph call and he read a prepared statement. I didn't get to ask any questions and then he was told to get off the phone. Can anyone please explain to me what a recovery division is, will his mailing address change, how long he has to get well, will he still get to participate in a PIR? So full of questions, upset that they wouldn't let him talk, sad that my son is hurt and an emotional basket case right now. Ugh.

Comment by BrownEyedMomma on April 9, 2015 at 3:37pm: Thanks catmom509. I e been really bad at work today sneaking a peak at this site on my phone which also makes it hard to see recent comments. That was the one group i looked at and now im a member of another too.

Here you go!

Comment by CatMom509 on April 9, 2015 at 3:13pm: BrownEyedMomma,

Here's a group that had activity yesterday. It is specifically for the CT ratings. When you are looking for new groups, make sure you scroll down to the bottom of the page and go to Page 1. I don't know why N4M doesn't just drop you into the most recent page~~

I'm also going to provide you with the "Sailors in Pensacola, FL for A School--Corry Station too!" which is also really active. CTs have A school here. (I can't copy that link here now because then I will lost this post!)

Comment by BrownEyedMomma on April 9, 2015 at 1:02pm: So my daughter is CTI and she mentioned there were only like 2 or 3 in her division that were CT*. I don't know if they are all CTI. Anyway, I figured we should definitely be friends! Plus I'm dying to know from anyone who already went through DLI with there graduated sailors who can give some tips! I checked out the group but the last postings seemed old.

Comment by diannep on April 9, 2015 at 8:31am: Thanks, Denise!

Just a reminder, all, that this site prohibits us from posting SRs' last names. I know, they are exposed on FB in many cases, which is a problem....but here, they don't need to be. When looking for others on here who may have a SR who knows your SR, it is best to put initials/hometown and division number here and let that person private message you on here. Then through private message, you can share more specific info about your SRs! It is wonderful to connect with other people on here who have SRs that are friends with yours!

Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on April 8, 2015 at 3:21pm: Denise,

Oh, oh, could you please remove your SR's last name and re-post with something like a blonde/dark hair/redhead female SR with initials ____ in division 175 is looking for moms of her fellow SRs? Last names are not allowed on here for security reasons. Then delete your old post by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

To Friend someone, just click on their name or picture, which will take you to their Page. Click on Add as Friend and you have sent them a Friend Request! These show up as a number next to your Friends (1) below your name on the upper left of any page here. Click on the number and it will show who requested to be your Friend. Once accepted, then you two can start private messaging each other with more information if you hit if off~~
