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"

Welcome, MaryH! Sounds like your SR should be a sailor now! 171/172 went through last Thurs night, along with the 800 division on Fri morning!). Hoping that your son is able to call you soon. They have phone cards for sale in the NEX....so hoping that he can get one and give you all a call. PIR will be so very special!

MoNavyGf: You can call him at anytime...or better yet, maybe email him? If he can't take your call, he will call you back. You can also text him.
Good Morning and Happy Mothers Day, Everyone!

diannep:
You were right! There's no shuttles coming from Navy Lodge but there's another shuttle service https://www.airportexpress.com/ (clickable) that does offer rides to the airports, either one way or round trips.. so I'll call Sarge when it isn't 5 in the morning in IL... haha. Does anyone know if he has specific hours to call? I don't want to intrude especially on Mother's Day!
