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 Rachel on May 13, 2015 at 9:03am: Memegaronsmom 213 called 2 Saturdays ago. They should be able to call again in the next week or so.

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2015 at 7:50am: So, firebird, I copy/pasted some of the posts from your blog here to the page so that others can answer on here.

firebird: There is a group on here for Machinists Mate. You can go to the GROUPS tab up top and put that into the search bar. He is going to Groton, right?

my son left 4/27 Posted on May 8, 2015 at 10:58am 1 Comment 0 Likes first time ever posting, always had a flip phone but that changed when my son left. He's a Machinest-subs so if any mom can give me any advise, He is in DIV 213 no letter yet. Just booked our stay at the navy lodge, any suggestion we will be renting a car. Happy Friday to all!-67firebird

looking for any info on what we can expect, my son graduates 6/19 before he left for BC we were told he would be going to A school, Connecticut. Thanks-67Firebird

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2015 at 7:40am: 67firebird: Do you have an actual computer you can access this group from? Some have said that it is harder to access from phones. Another suggestion is to go to your phone company personnel and see if they can help you. We hope you find a way to be on here!

Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 13, 2015 at 4:54am: 67firebird,

I'm not sure how a Blog works here or anywhere else on the internet, but if you want others on Navy for Moms to see your Comments, it is best to come to this PIR group or any other groups you are a part of here and post on the Comment Wall, then others will see it and can comment. Your Blog may only be seen by those you've asked to be your Friends too.

I have a dumb phone, not a smart phone, so I can't help you there!! :)
