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."

forN4M'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".

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 14, 2013 at 1:57pm: My SR did not have to have his wisdom teeth pulled, blessed with a big mouth LOL. He is having a mole removed from his back however this week.

Comment by Navywife2012 on May 14, 2013 at 1:38pm: So just show parents ID?

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 14, 2013 at 12:50pm: CatMom509... Thank you so much for the PIR gift link, I went ahead and bought the ship coin for my SR.

Comment by Michelle on May 14, 2013 at 12:50pm: Just got my military ID. Our kids are cover under tricare, we just need to show our ID at their doctors appointments. I know some of us had questions about why our kids name wasn't on the paper work. I hope this helps

Comment by CatMom509 on May 14, 2013 at 12:31pm: For those of you looking for a special gift for your SR-soon-to-be-Sailor, please check out www.pirgifts.com . They have Challenge Coins, which are a military tradition. Craig, who is one of thei administrators on Navy for Moms, designed the ones that are connected to the ships at RTC. The name of your SR's ship is right next to the ship number in the Discussion section. When you click on one of the coins, you will be taken to a page where there is a video about Challenge Coins. This would be a special gift especially connected to their Boot Camp days! Another really sharp coin is the Core Values one in the section where 70 other coins are available--it has cut outs and a diamond cut beveled edge. These coins are no longer given out by the Navy to the Sailors, so it is up to friends and family.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 14, 2013 at 12:25pm: I pad has some weird spell corrects also and if you do not catch them it is hard to understand, it especially does it with name acronyms and navy abbreviations.

Comment by CatMom509 on May 14, 2013 at 12:16pm: Hello All,

     "Many are the plans in a man's heart,

      but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

                                            Proverbs 19:21

Comment by Kim F on May 14, 2013 at 12:05pm: These are beautiful! How much would 4 of them be?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 14, 2013 at 12:02pm: Thanks so much imomxfour, I really look forward to making the ribbons for you and your family :)

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 14, 2013 at 11:42am: Thank you for all the great ideas, from food to coins. I have been looking at the challenge coins lately, but wasn't sure if that was something you would give at PIR. I will order one today. :) Thanks again ladies, your input is appreciated!
