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."

~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 Shenanigans on May 16, 2013 at 1:21pm: I'm leaving this group now also. Luke's mom I will have your family in my prayers! If there is anything I can send you (clothes, sheets, etc) please don't hesitate to e-mail me haley.shanahan87@gmail.com Goodluck to everyone and their SR's!!

Comment by Luke's Mom Ship 13 Div 182 on May 16, 2013 at 12:04pm: I just want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes - We lost our home last night during the tornados here in Texas. We are safe and unharmed but please pray for my neighbors who have lost their lives. I TRULY appreciate the kind gestures for assistance but at this time - I have no idea of what to do - My one request is for anyone with Sailors at Groton Sub School - PLEASE ask your sailors to look out for my sailor and to keep his spirits up during this difficult transition

Comment by WestCoastMom SHIP 14, DIV 180 on May 15, 2013 at 11:34pm: Deedee, congrats on your personal accomplishment! What ship is your son on? Is that the Hopper?

Comment by diannep on May 15, 2013 at 7:12pm: Leaving this group now, ladies. Blessings to your sailors and, Liz'smom, I will be keeping tabs on your posts in the FIT group. Hang in there!

Comment by diannep on May 15, 2013 at 7:11pm: Way to go, Deedee! So happy that you are so close to getting that degree!

Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on May 15, 2013 at 1:52pm: Deedee- Hell week- ugh- but look at it this way- now the time is going to fly- and you can finally make those reservations! Congrats to you!

Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on May 15, 2013 at 10:48am: SailorBoy- accepted, check your messages- Thank you so much- I've been writing to her most days- and now she'll be receiving letters and cards from so many others who are supported her-- I really appreciate this! Thank you!

Comment by Sailor Boy J's Mom on May 15, 2013 at 10:40am: Liz's Mom - I just sent you a friend request. If you don't mind I would love to write your daughter. My son has a stress fracture too but he made it through. I think about you guys all the time and would love to write her and send a little encouragement. We are in this together and I can't leave this site until your daughter is a Sailor (which will happen, I have faith in that!).

Comment by diannep on May 15, 2013 at 8:23am: Liz'sMom: Sigh....but that is such a common injury and they do heal! Just prolongs it for her....poor thing. Lots of prayers for her and for YOU! Write more often than usual and get others to in order to keep her spirits up. Remind her that many before her have had stress fractures, even at the end of bootcamp, and have become sailors. This is a "bump in the road". I'm so sorry that she is going through this....but once she is a sailor, SHE IS A SAILOR! :-)

Good Morning All !

Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on May 15, 2013 at 8:20am: Hi All- update- I heard from her last night- she is now in RCU with a stress fracture.. so this is going to take awhile.
