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 Anissia's Mommy Ship 02 Div 932 on June 11, 2013 at 1:57pm: @CatMom509 - I was reading over your post about March PIR & have a question about airport gate passes. My 11 year old son will be travelling with me & he doesn't have a picture ID. I know to get him into PIR I need a copy of his birth certificate, do you think this would suffice for the airport?

Comment by ellen0502 on June 11, 2013 at 1:41pm: kim, Yes you can post when you get your "I AM A SAILOR" call, and please do. Everyone is excited to hear about those calls.

Comment by J's Mom ⚓ Ship 02 Div 932 on June 11, 2013 at 1:08pm: Excited about the next 10 days for my SR!! Busy times ahead for all of us.

On a more bittersweet note, we're moving the first week of July and packing up our old house. I packed my SRs room last night. Sad to think he's spent 14 years there and will never see it again, but I know he'll be thrilled with the new house and his room there! I totally didn't realize how many clothes that boy had! We packed 2 full boxes of just t shirts and one of just jeans - and he'd try to tell me he had nothing to wear....I couldn't part with any of it, I'll let him sort it all out when he comes home on leave after A School.

Comment by trags8 on June 11, 2013 at 11:26am: So true, Kim! I couldn't have made it without all of you supporting each other - it was great to feel safe being whatever, knowing you all understand! It's awesome having the veteran moms - I have some in my family, too, who have helped tremendously! Thank you one and all!

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on June 11, 2013 at 10:57am: Hello Veteran mom's, are we allowed to post when we get our "Sailor calls" on here?

Comment by diannep on June 11, 2013 at 10:46am: BattleStations for this group are starting VERY SOON! No dates allowed here, but this is their final test! Here is the info:

Good Morning!

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on June 11, 2013 at 10:36am: Today is good day...Pass is printed! Hooyah! Karen.....very excited for the single digits. I know we will all move on from here, I hope to stay in touch here and there with all the ladies that have helped me or that I have helped get through the BC weeks! I believe we are blessing to each other....there wasn't a single day I felt alone, and thank all of you for that!
