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".

Comment by Baciandrio on April 24, 2013 at 12:22am: Ditto here, no PIR letter yet. Box came yesterday. Took 12 days to get here. Ours is obviously taken the 'national tour' before arriving! LOL

Comment by MomThatLovesHerSon on April 23, 2013 at 11:35pm: Hi everyone, I'm new to this group. My son is Ship 14 Div 211, currently scheduled to PIR on 5/31/13. I got a call from him this past Sat. 4/20/13!! Yay!! But he told me that his PIR might change, so........ I might be going to PIR on 6/7/13. I'll just have to wait and hear from him.

Comment by K_Louise on April 23, 2013 at 11:25pm: Hello mom2navyson my boyfriend is also on ship 04 div 813! Nice to meet you!

Comment by mom2navyson on April 23, 2013 at 10:49pm: Hello Moms, our son is on ship 04 division 813. He had a rough start but seems to be settling in pretty good now. I am so proud of him for making the decision to join the Navy. We miss him a lot and can't wait to see him.

Comment by Roni on April 23, 2013 at 10:29pm: Hello Tee2621 I'm looking forward to keeping in touch. I'm just so happy to being able to communicate with other parents. Well if we don't hear from them on the phone again soon hopefully we'll get a letter. I just keep sending my son cards and letters as well as his other family members.

Comment by Tee2621 on April 23, 2013 at 10:25pm: Good nite ladies and God Bless our children and keep them healthy and safe!!! Talk to ya amazing women tomorrow. Nite:)

Comment by Tee2621 on April 23, 2013 at 10:22pm: Hi Roni my son too is in ship 3 division 213/214. Diannep I will send him phone card soon. Ty for your advise. Knowing my Son he will not ask to use someone's phone card even if they offer to let him use it! Lol

Comment by Roni on April 23, 2013 at 10:05pm: Thank you everyone,

I got the box first, then the letter the next day. I got a call this past Saturday morning I was so happy to hear his voice even though it was very quick. Then I got another call yesterday morning but I was at work with a client and missed it. I was so bummed for the rest of day. I guess now I'm just waiting a letter just to see how BT is going.

Comment by diannep on April 23, 2013 at 10:00pm: Welcome, Roni!

Comment by mrsbeanie on April 23, 2013 at 9:59pm: Welcome Roni,

My son is also on ship 3 div 214. I got my letter last week. Things went quickly for us box, letter and phone call all in the same week. It was awesome. Now I don't know what to expect from here.
