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 Proudmama1 on April 22, 2015 at 12:52pm: Momof9-thanks for that info!!!:). Did he happen to say what they are all sick of?:(. My SR is div 198 so they are bother div and on the same ship. Prayers to all of them!

Comment by Momof9 on April 22, 2015 at 12:29pm: Heads up a mom with an SR ship 04 Div 197 got a call today and her SR said he would probably be calling back Sat. There is a PIR 06-05-15 navy boot camp Facebook page and that is where I got the info. Just thought I would share. The SR said they were all sick. Said this is day 1 week 2 IT. Said recruits are not following orders. I am praying for cooperative spirits and healing.

Comment by antsmom on April 22, 2015 at 12:09pm: I plan on staying until Sunday... I realize there is only a small chance that I will get to spend anymore time with him besides Friday, but there is still a chance... I'm actually not going to fly out on Sunday, but will be driving to Ohio to visit family...I will then fly out of Detroit...I live in California, so a 6 hour drive is nothing compared to three days... LOL

Comment by Proudmama1 on April 22, 2015 at 11:57am: Jobeysmom-it's my pleasure! Glad to help. As it gets closer to PIR we can message so we can think up how to meet your SR to have him call u;)

Comment by CatMom509 on April 22, 2015 at 10:43am: Then it will be a doubly good day, diannep!! :)

Comment by CatMom509 on April 22, 2015 at 10:42am: Good Day!

Comment by diannep on April 22, 2015 at 7:39am: Oops, a double good morning below....due to distraction from my 18 mo old grandson! HA!

Comment by diannep on April 22, 2015 at 7:38am: Proudmama: True that most will fly out on Sat., but some do fly out on Sun. The majority will leave Sat. though. Yes, your sailor should at least have Fri after PIR with you until about 8 pm that night.

Good Morning All!

Good Morning All!

Comment by jobeysmom on April 22, 2015 at 6:51am: Proudmama1 thank you so much. That is so very sweet! I really appreciate it. It would be great to talk to him.
