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 Lindsay on May 1, 2013 at 7:08pm: When can we expect pur first letters? Anyone know??

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 1, 2013 at 6:57pm: Sorry fireTeamLeaderWife, I couldn't help myself, feel it is never a bad thing to have a little fun occasionally. Especially now when we all are feeling a little down at the departing of our dear kids. Proud but sad at the same time.

Comment by ellen0502 on May 1, 2013 at 6:27pm: I asked my son if he wanted me to bring him white boxers or plain colored ones for him to change into after PIR. He said he never wants to see another pair of white underwear in his life, for reasons discussed below. LOL

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 1, 2013 at 6:07pm: Oh my...we haven't had an "undie" discussion in a while hee,hee,hee!

Comment by diannep on May 1, 2013 at 5:31pm: Oh, yes, CO: When my son was up there, he told me about one of his shipmates who was not so clean with his undies....the RDCs certainly called him out on that! :-)

Welcome to the new members!

Dijana: No timetable for the phone calls. Just keep that phone handy at all times. If there is a chance that your SR will not remember cell numbers, write him with all of the necessary numbers. After all, they are used to just clicking on a name to make a call from their cell! I'm sure he must know yours though!

If your sailor is flying out for A School, he most likely will leave the day after PIR. That is when most leave. As far as you moving there with him, I don't know about that. Are you on the Girlfriends, Wives group on here? That is where you can get alot of info from the wives in that group.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 1, 2013 at 5:28pm: Also the girls were known as their hairy sisters as the girls only get to shave on Sundays. Buy Friday when one has to hold others ankles for sit ups....

Comment by SoProud on May 1, 2013 at 5:18pm: Co-Twin, That is hilarious. Good to know that our SRs can still joke around. No from letter today. Getting a little frustrated here. :-(
