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 Navy brat/mom on May 4, 2015 at 9:12am: Got in the car to take my daughter to school and the radio was playing "Letters From Home". This mama still has tears rolling down her face... Time to get started though. Lots to do today, and tonight. We're almost there y'all!!!! Can't wait to hold my baby.

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2015 at 8:13am: Good Morning!

For those whose SRs have not gone through BattleStations yet, check out the BattleStations discussion above for info!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 3, 2015 at 2:25am: For those of you who haven't had a chance to check out my "PERTINENT PIR TIPS" up in the Discussion Forum, now would be a good time to do so~~

Comment by CatMom509 on May 2, 2015 at 5:05pm: Hello All!

     "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

      and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him,

     and bless His name."

                                                              Psalm 100:4

Comment by diannep on May 2, 2015 at 10:38am: BrownEyedMomma: The new sailors can call anytime after 2pm Central time....all the way into very early evening (although they are in their racks by 8 pm Central on that day). So I would say anytime between 2 pm and 7 pm Central, the I'm a Sailor calls can come in. If a sailor has watch, it may not happen until the next day.

Good Morning All! Have a great weekend!

Keep the faith, tjskip! :-) You may want to join the FIT group on here....there are others there in your situation, and others who have been there and can offer advice. It is not active like the PIR groups are, but hopefully someone can answer your questions. Just put in FIT under the GROUPS tab up top on this page and you will find it.

Comment by BrownEyedMomma on May 2, 2015 at 9:31am: Does anyone know if the time Oleander mentioned is typical for the I'm a sailor call? I'm curious because my SR told us on her last call when it would be happening and I will be at work, so I want to make sure my boss knows.

Comment by tjskip on May 2, 2015 at 1:44am: Thank you, everyone. I'm trying to not loose hope. We just received a letter and he sounded so up beat and hopeful. The letter was dated the 26th but then he called on the 29th. Navy brat/mom,171.

Comment by applesauce on May 1, 2015 at 6:42pm: Congrats Oleander!! So happy for you and your SR. I teared up a bit when I read your comment. So proud of them. Lol.
