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 Mary0304 on May 4, 2015 at 8:50pm: Hi! ProudNavyMom287...Me too. I got my son's form letter today. He's also Ship 04 Div 218. Starting to make plans for driving to GL. It's about a 15 hour drive but still cheaper than flying!! It felt good to get something else from him after getting his box on Friday and his 'I've arrived' call on Tuesday night. I can't wait for a phone call so I can ask him how he's doing and hear his voice. My letter to him will be going out tomorrow. Prayers all around.

Comment by ProudNavyMom287&218 on May 4, 2015 at 8:30pm: Hi All. I received our "form" letter today. Though it's standard fair it's nice to have his address and his graduation date! My son is Ship 04, Division 218. Anyone else's?

Comment by tammyj_bradysmom on May 4, 2015 at 8:26pm: BaileysMom, we have ship 3 DIV 215!!!

Comment by navygf8 on May 4, 2015 at 6:22pm: finally got a phone call today:)

Comment by Niclisten on May 4, 2015 at 6:00pm: Graduation letter received!

Comment by diannep on May 4, 2015 at 5:09pm: Latrisa: You can find Lalal Ribbon Queen under the MEMBERS tab up top. Go to her page and see the piks of the ribbons, etc she makes. You can contact her from there.

Hootsmom: That would be a good question for the Navy for Moms Admin....you can reach her at the bottom of this page and send her a message! Let us know what she says!

And, just to clarify, Navy Lodge is actually not on RTC....you cannot stay there and walk to PIR. It is about a mile or so away, in the housing area, and it is not "walking friendly" to walk that mile to RTC. So just wanted to clarify that! But, yes, Navy Lodge is a great place to stay....if no military ID in your family, book in your SR's name....which means your new sailor will need to stop by the desk at some point on PIR Day (yes, you will have been checked in already) just to verify.

S and L: Years ago, there WAS a "Family Night" held the night before PIR which included the Sailors and the families, but no more. Like CatMom said, this is just for the families!

Comment by Latrisa on May 4, 2015 at 3:04pm: good morning i want to get some pir ribbons make if anyone know let me know thank you

Comment by S and L on May 4, 2015 at 2:41pm: Thanks I thought it was a SR family night

Comment by Hootsmom on May 4, 2015 at 11:56am: I wonder if anyone who is managing this site could say if there are any plans to develop an app for accessing this site by phone. I would be the first to get it. I have the American's Navy and US Navy apps and they are very informative, especially once our SRs are graduated, good sources for Navy news, but I would definitely love one for this site.

Comment by Hootsmom on May 4, 2015 at 11:52am: Oh and I wrote to my SR and told him about this site, asked him to pass along the information to the other SRs so that their families are aware of this great resource. Hopefully we will see an increase in our community once mail goes out.
