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"

luckymom,
Not sure it is worth the expense as the mail would arrive at RTC, but if the Mail Petty Officer has just been trained, they wouldn't get to your SR any sooner. Mail typically takes about 3 days to arrive in your SR's hands. Send out a letter or 2 each day, so he receives something daily rather than a huge pile one day, then nothing for a few days. If he wrote this last Sunday, then his letters would have gone out on Monday and they would start arriving on Wednesday to Friday to your home and other family members~~ My letters arrived on Thursdays and I live in Southern California. Hope this helps you~~

I got a call from my SR! Ship 03 DIV 211. He wanted to know why he hasn't gotten any mail. I felt so bad but explained I have yet to receive the form letter or any mail. He has sent letters to other family members who have not received them either. My question is: Can we overnight all the letters that we have been writing so he can get them sooner than later?

As I'm checking the N4M's walls my SR son calls! How lucky am I? Very and so grateful I could hear him better on this call. He is doing great and as Section Leader his section is doing well and hopes the division pulls together in the coming days which is what we understand usually happens. Go ship 03/div 211!
