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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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 Jesssea ship14/div192 on March 29, 2013 at 5:21pm: Thanks Dianne, I can't put a picture of my sweet girl so I put her dog as that was her best friend!!!

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2013 at 4:34pm: sheldonsmom: Totally normal to sometimes take this long to receive the form letter. Hopefully this next week will be "the week" for all waiting for the form letters!

The form letters can sometimes take 2 weeks or longer to arrive.

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2013 at 4:33pm: Hmmm.....NavyWife. Maybe he still needed them up there? Not sure if he will mail it with the form letter or not....but hopefully that will be what happens. If not in the form letter, he can mail them back in a personal letter.

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2013 at 4:31pm: Jesssea: Love your dog, by the way....what a cutie!

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2013 at 4:30pm: Jesssea: You can make the hotel reservations with no penalty, but I would wait on the airlines until you get the letter, just to make sure.

Comment by Jesssea ship14/div192 on March 29, 2013 at 3:49pm: Massmoms your son is in the same division as my daughter. I still have not received my letter either. My husband keeps telling me to go ahead and make our plane reservations and hotel, however, I feel that I should wait to be on the safe side. Any suggestions moms?

Comment by NavyWife09 Ship 3 Div 193 on March 29, 2013 at 3:24pm: My husband shipped on March 20th and I received his box on Tuesday, but still have not received the letter. You're not the only one waiting, I'm sure it will come either tomorrow or the beginning of next week. No worries, but I know I too will feel happier to get that letter.

Quick question though, my husband had to take our marriage license, my birth certificate and social security number with him and I was told it would come back in the box, but did not. I know that I will need some of those things to get my military ID. Do you know if that will be included in the form letter and if not, when I will be getting those things back?

Comment by ljoyce on March 29, 2013 at 2:32pm: Hi Sheldon's mom my bf shipped 3/19 and I just got his letter with adress yesterday! So give it a few days:)

Comment by MassMom on March 29, 2013 at 2:15pm: I just got my letter in the mail today and my son left on the 2oth. Ship 14 Div 192! Hopefully today or tomorrow you will get it.

Comment by sheldonsmom on March 29, 2013 at 2:10pm: I still haven't received the letter and he shipped out on 3/19. Is this normal? The only address I have is from his recruiter.
