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.

~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".

The Weather Widget is interactive. Click the green dot on the top bar and drag it along the to change the time. Click LIVE to go back to current time. Click on the days to change to that day or expand out to six days.

Comment by ambi9821 on April 27, 2013 at 11:14pm: diannep--It may have been just a page or 2 of the newspaper, I told him I didn't think we were supposed to send anything that wouldn't fit into a regular envelope. There was so much to talk about, he didn't say anything else about it. I will continue what I am doing. Maybe this will answer questions for others, too.

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2013 at 11:07pm: ambo9821: Well, that is the first that I have heard of someone receiving entire newspapers and I'm very surprised they are allowed to have them....what you are doing with your SR is what most people do. I'm sure he is enjoying hearing the "bizarre" news going on in his hometown! :-)

Kevsmom: Yep, most of them get sick....the Ricky Crud. Maybe from a combination of so many shots at once, close quarters, stress, reaction to some of the shots? But the good news is that they get through this and keep training! Hope he feels better soon! The RDCs keep a close eye on them with the illnesses and give them light duty if needed. Even some in the past who had to be briefly hospitalized for pneumonia most times still finished training with their own division. They are tough soon-to-be-sailors! :-)

Comment by Navy_Mom (Ship 9 Div 215) on April 27, 2013 at 11:03pm: Could it be I missed the call from my SR because he called my cell phone using a calling card? My phone never rang. It went right to voicemail.

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2013 at 11:03pm: Ladies, just a reminder, you cannot post your SR's last names on this site. Against OPSEC. We even advise against using their first name on here, but that is not against OPSEC....just identifies your post with your SR in the event "Navy personnel" are reading (they usually do).

Comment by Navy_Mom (Ship 9 Div 215) on April 27, 2013 at 10:58pm: Missed a call from my SR:-( I had my phone with me all day and it never rang! Went out to dinner tonight and must have been in a dead zone when the call came in! Just looked at my phone and saw I had a voice-mail message. He either has a bad cold or was upset....he said he wished he could talk to me. Ohhhh...I feel aweful for not being there for him. Will send him more calling cards and promise not to go anywhere next weekend so I don‘t miss another call.

He wanted me to know he was just appointed RCPO for his DIV!! He was RMAA but is now Recruit Chief PO!!! I am so proud of him. Just wish he could of heard me say those words:'-(

Comment by Kevsmom93 on April 27, 2013 at 9:11pm: OMG!!! Our poor SR's are all sick! Mine has been sick for two weeks, and I'm beside myself thinking of him. And as I posted on BCMom's my husband and I missed his call. Thankfully his brother was here and they had a nice long chat. But it sounds like he really missed talking to Mom and Dad :-( Trying to get information from his brother about the phone call is painful, it's like asking how was school today..."just another day" Geez.

mrsb: Hopefully that's a good thing...the fact that our boys know each other. I guess they can be sick together...ugh

Comment by ambi9821 on April 27, 2013 at 8:44pm: Diannep--I asked if it was a real newspaper and he said yes. I have been sending him some local news by cutting and pasting onto regular paper. Suddenly, for the first time in the 35 years we have lived here, our town in in the national news (2 different stories)!!! One is a bizarre story, so I am sending him the articles. I will continue to do that. He is enjoying the saga!! Thanks for the information.

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2013 at 8:18pm: ambi9821: No, they don't want them to receive newspapers. They keep them isolated from things like that---the 'outside world"---they want them concentrating on their training. Some RDCs won't even let them receive newspaper articles in the letters they receive. It is better to copy/paste sports scores, etc in the body of your letter to them rather than to send actual articles.

I'm wondering if what he meant is that the other SR received some newspaper "articles" enclosed with a letter? I don't think it would be a whole newspaper. Never have heard that is allowed and I've been on these groups for over 3 yrs!

Comment by kikid70 Ship 13 Div 220 on April 27, 2013 at 8:12pm: GR8RABsMom: I also received a phone call today. I really hope that they distribute the mail soon. We have been sending letters since we received his address.
