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 Guidelines and 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".

I know I've said this several times before, but I am so glad that I found this website.  Having you Moms there to talk with has been such a comfort. 

Have a great day everyone.

Thanks FLANavyMom1501,

Sorry you didn't receive a call either but I have to say that makes me feel a little better. I do the same, carry that phone around with me everywhere. And my son also said he loves getting letters too. I feel they were just busy or standing guard. I'll be stalking my postman this week!!!! Take care...

Good morning everyone!!

Comment by auhi00 on May 20, 2013 at 9:56am

I'm glad I'm not the only one walking around with the cell phone.  I've gone to take the dog out a couple times and dragged her back in to go back and get it.

I don't think our guys will get much chance to call. It's almost their time to start doing the PIRs so I'm sure they are practicing up a storm along with regular BC stuff.

Hi Joyce0822,

My SR is in the same ship/div.  I didn't receive a call either.  But, I kept thinking - no news is good news.  I carried that phone around everywhere I went and had calls transferred to the cell when I left home. 

Last time we spoke, he told me he had so many letters that he hasn't even had time to open yet.  But, he was ok with that and likes us writing all the letters. 

I hope you hear from your SR one of these days soon - with good news only!

Good Morning, 

A little disappointed, no call from my SR this weekend, hope all is okay. I know last week they had Hell week, so glad that is over. They should be training 5/1 today. Hope some got a call this weekend.

Good Morning!

Hi All,

     "I guide you in the way of wisdom

      and lead you along straight paths"

Lori:  Bless your son for dating his letters with the training week/day!  Yah!   Makes it so much easier to follow.  They will be the last divisions (227/228) to go through BattleStations.  So the other divisions in this group are ahead of them in training.  Just by a couple of days though

Comment by Queenbeansj on May 19, 2013 at 11:33am

Thank you, Lori.  I'm trying to follow along in an ex-SR's blog to see what happens day to day.  This helps alot.
