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 Amberw27 on May 3, 2013 at 4:20pm: Kim that sounds great!

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 3, 2013 at 4:08pm: Amber 27.. Our SR's are in the same ship and division. We will have to meet up in Great Lakes while we ate there for graduation! :)

Comment by Anissia's Mommy Ship 02 Div 932 on May 3, 2013 at 3:41pm: No worries! At times she hates her name, because she can never find any of those personalized cups, keychains, etc. We even got free pics & keychains for her drill team pro pics because we opted for personalization & they misspelled her name. My poor son is in the same boat...Zion :)

Comment by Amberw27 on May 3, 2013 at 3:36pm: Got the letter today :) SHIP 03 DIV 233...

Comment by Amberw27 on May 3, 2013 at 3:30pm: So glad I found this group. Def. counting down the days. (:

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 3, 2013 at 3:11pm: Ugh...that's what I get for posting on my phone when I just wake up!!
Sorry Annisia's Mommy!! Sorry Annisia!
I should have known that my phone would not know what to do with Annisia. Thank goodness it didn't pick a really bad word!

Comment by Lindsay on May 3, 2013 at 12:34pm: Hope you all are having a good day! :)

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2013 at 11:04am: HAAA, Anissia'sMommy! That's hysterical! Who would have thought you would overlook shoes? Only those who are emotionally in upheaval, like moms with children in bootcamp, understand how that could have happened! You are "amongst friends" here! :-)

Ok, FTLW....who is "Abides's Mommy?" You are too funny!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 3, 2013 at 10:41am: Abides's Mommy - TOO FUNNY! Were they in the back pack? Or wrapped in the clothes?
We usually have someone searching for a cell phone (usually taken apart and stuffed unto pants pockets, shoes) but haven't had "found" tennies yet! LOL
On tennies though...did have one mom find ,several weeks after receiving the box, that her daughter had written a message on both tennies. :-)

Comment by Anissia's Mommy Ship 02 Div 932 on May 3, 2013 at 9:35am: I found her shoes!! I guess I was so excited to get the box, that I only looked at the backpack, clothes (she had 3 sets) & paperwork. I still have not received her form letter & her recruiter did not have a complete address :(. I normally check the mail on Saturday, since we have a neighborhood mailbox, but I'm actually checking everyday now. I wonder if any of my neighbors have seen me throw a fit each time I check the mail?
