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".

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 Lisazship2DIV928 on June 12, 2013 at 5:49pm: Hey Mary saw you at the mall with your son tried to get over to you to say hi but I lost ya lol:)

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on June 12, 2013 at 5:36pm: QUESTION: My Sailor's largest picture, which by the way looks awesome :-) , and his DIV pic have a large scratch/indent mark going from his chin up to his right ear; and in the middle of the DIV pic. it looks like a battle scar even though it is an indention in the actual picture. I tried calling the number on the receipt that was included in the package my Sailor gave me but it is continuously busy. No ringing tone, just busy signal. Someone mentioned an email? other way to communicate with the photo studio to see if I can return these and get one without the indention marks? Help!!! Thank you :-)

Comment by mary on June 12, 2013 at 5:04pm: So proud of all our SR
It was the best.A long trip but I will do it a hundred times just to see my son.

Comment by ProudNavyMom#1 on June 12, 2013 at 12:33am: Lisaz that was a crazy ride!!! Hahaha i just got back home and keep thinking about the wonderful time we spent with our Sailor !! Also about the new friends i made with other N4Ms! Ya'll are beautiful women to have raised such proper young men! Now the Navy has made them awesome Sailors!!!
Mine has gone to Groton & we are already thinking of visiting him there! :) i like the man the Navy has made him & he has my respect! God bless them all.

Comment by D❤Navy on June 11, 2013 at 10:37am: Kimberly where did he go to A School? Trying to figure out how this wks and what to expect when we go to graduation for travel purposes? My son will be going to Pensicola Fl-

Comment by Kimberly on June 11, 2013 at 10:18am: Good Morning All, Haven't been on since PIR..We are now in Michigan visiting friends...We only had the afternoon of PIR and next morning at the airport, wasn't enough. He looked great and there was some change. He seemed more mature. The best part about being retired is the fact he asked up to come out to see him in A school once he starts getting liberty so we are changing some of our travel agenda to include him....Hope everyone enjoyed their time with their Sailors.

Comment by Lisazship2DIV928 on June 11, 2013 at 9:59am: Finally home boy it was hard saying goodbye again but I know she is fine had an amazing time with her just watching her and seeing who she has become is great I know she is strong and can handle herself I'm so proud.they did a great job with her they did things I tried to do lol I feel at ease now i will still miss her but I'm glad boot camp is done that was a crazy ride

Comment by Kevsmom93 on June 11, 2013 at 7:26am: ProudNavyMom#1, such kind words thank you. Did you get my post from earlier? Your son was amazing at the airport and a born leader! Yes, their group has been separated but according to what my son heard DIV 213 was kept together? I wonder if it's because they arrived earlier that day? Not sure. But it makes more sense for them to intersperse and get to know other Sailors. However there's no doubt their friendships will continue.

Comment by mrsb on June 10, 2013 at 11:38pm: Yes they certainly are ProudNavyMom#1! Mine was born in 92 but it's close enough to 93!! And they are all friends-that's a good thing!!! Could be friends for life!
