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 15, 2015 at 6:53am: *ellen

Comment by diannep on April 15, 2015 at 6:53am: I agree with ellend, RissasMom. MANY get injured in Bootcamp, some in recovery for a long time, but they become sailors! She can do it!

Good Morning!

Comment by ellen0502 on April 15, 2015 at 12:28am: RissasMom, One of the best things to let her know is the Navy wanted her to stay. Many a recruit gets injured and gets sent home to heal. Bravo Zulu to your daughter, she is becoming a Sailor!!!

Comment by RissasMom on April 14, 2015 at 10:32pm: Thanks ellen0502 yes her original PIR was April 24 so I'm trying to think of ways to cheer her up as all of her original division graduates.

Comment by ellen0502 on April 14, 2015 at 5:41pm: Welcome RissasMom, Your daughter was originally in an April PIR group right? Glad to hear she has healed and is back on her way.

Comment by diannep on April 14, 2015 at 3:48pm: Welcome, RissasMom! Glad you are here. She is out of recovery? I'm assuming she had been held for a medical situation? Glad that she is continuing her training!

Comment by RissasMom on April 14, 2015 at 1:00pm: Good morning my daughter just called to let me know she is out of recovery and has been moved to Div. 179 so I'm new to this group. Hello everyone :)

Comment by diannep on April 14, 2015 at 9:27am: Good Morning!

DepthCharge4: Hmmmm......sounds like her division # maybe didn't change, just her barracks area? In the integrated divisions (male/female). they bunk the males from several divisions together and the same with the girls. Sounds like the drama was in another barracks area and they just switched the girls to settle it. Doubt this changed her division number, since this is just where they sleep. If her division number changed, she would advise you of that for mailing address reasons.

If they are still in the same division/brother division, then yes, they can still interact since they train together....did she seem real concerned about this? If not, then I wouldn't worry. Sounds like it is just to break up the drama, no matter how it plays out. Maybe you can get more info from the other mom? I know, touchy situation. Probably best to wait for another phone call from your daughter and ask her then. In the meantime, don't worry! They work through everything quite well!

Comment by DepthCharge4 on April 13, 2015 at 10:18pm: i will post here as well as on my SRs Ship page: My daughter called on Sunday night and when I asked about her bunk mate that she asked me to find her mom on N4M in her last letter (which I did and am so thankful to know her) she said she was no longer bunking with her that they were split up. I thought she said she was moved across the hall.. Does that mean she switched to her brother division? Both her and her bunkmate were moved. She said it was because of "girl drama". I was prepared to be The Mom and asked her if she was the cause of the drama and she said No. I tentatively asked if it was her bunkmate, hoping it wasn't since I had just made friends with her mom. She told me both of them were exemplary recruits and that they were moved or switched out with some other girls to mix up the situation across the hall. Again, "Across the Hall?" . Next question is why would the RDC's move two exemplary recruits that got along into a potentially conflict- centered group ? Will they still get to interact with one another? What if the situation causes more problems by introducing them after 3 weeks of training? Im just sad for her and wondering.
