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 diannep on April 30, 2015 at 1:11pm: Just would like to remind you all....PLEASE stay on this group too if you go over and join the FB groups. We really like it when info is shared between the groups! So don't forget about us! I know that most are on FB anyway so it is sometimes easier to do personal/Navy in the same place, but we really need you all here and want to give you info and receive info from FB!

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2015 at 1:09pm: Holly: Letters from your SRs could have been mailed out for the first time this past Monday....or....could happen this Monday. Not allowed for about the first 2 weeks of Bootcamp while Recruit Mail Petty Officer is being trained. Hoping it is this week for you all! After that, they will receive mail M-F but can only mail out on Mondays.

Comment by Dragonfly on April 30, 2015 at 11:24am: Hi David & Terri....yes!!! I actually had a dream about him last night of him in BC. LOL I guess going through the pics and reading about it last night. I went to sleep dreaming of it. silly!!

Comment by Chances on April 30, 2015 at 11:23am: David & Terri:

We probably won't meet. My in-laws are going to the ceremony and my husband if his schedule allows. We have 5 kids with my SR being the oldest and the younges being 2 & 4. My SR happened into the Nuke program by accident. He was lost and was being convince to take a one-year welding program to be 10 minutes from his girlfriend. My husband convinced him to go to the Navy recruiter one day. They walked in and the recruiter said if he was interested in welding he'd have to score high enough. So the highest officer in the office came out after my son was done and shook my husband's hand, tooke away the welding brochure and handed him a Nuke brochure. My SR then took the ASVAB only one, cold and scored high enough to not have to take the NAPT. Let's just say that he shocked himself and I am confident that he is finding himself now! He has so much confidence now! Some kids study so hard to get the scores he did! We are proud of him and I thank god he's not following a girl around and building his own future. :)

Congrats to all the mothers and their kids for them getting this far!

Comment by ProudParents on April 30, 2015 at 10:57am: Our son will be going to A school in FL ATF in IT! It will be nice to be able to communicate with him more regularly and visit him of course!! Looking forward to the big day and planning a 2 week vaca around it is detailed stuff but fun!
