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 Alcmom on May 19, 2015 at 6:46am: Hey everyone out there in crazy land! Last night was the first decent nights sleep I've had in 3 weeks. I'm a Marine Corps wife and mom so you'd think I'd have this in the bag....yeuuhhh, no. I've held it together and have been the rock until yesterday hahaha got home from work, read his first letter which is typical of a first letter at boot camp. It sucked. Second letter was awesome. He wrote it on Mother's Day and when my husband read it to me over the phone while I was at work, he got at choked up! I said, are you crying?! He said noooo....I told him to straighten up and read me the dang letter! It was truly the best letter I've ever received. So upbeat, so thankful for new friends, is learning, eating well, and he said something with letters like RDOC or something I forget because I do t know what the letters mean, but he's carrying the sword to head the division of flags. This kid is really blowing my mind here. He's never been a leader, always a follower, and might I add of not good things at times, so this just amazes me that with the sickness he's gone through, he's pushing harder than he ever has in his life and actually doing it and thriving and loving it. I'm framing this Mother's Day letter and hanging it on my side of the bed. This will be MY moto every day. Happy momma here.

Comment by Maddawg's Mama on May 18, 2015 at 10:30pm: Had room to keep his wisdom teeth... whew!

Comment by Maddawg's Mama on May 18, 2015 at 10:12pm: Well wishes for alcmoms SR...I also got my call today from 813...so happy to hear he is well and mentioned how good the food was more than once lol.

Comment by TSMKinder on May 18, 2015 at 10:10pm: Got a call from my son around 6:00 pm tonight! It was so good to hear his voice. He sounded upbeat. He said it was mentally harder than he thought but doing good! Can't wait to see him in June.

Comment by Simomma53 on May 18, 2015 at 10:09pm: Thundertoes, I'm a dental asst. Usually, I would be taking x-rays. I'm so glad that the patient I was setting up did NOT need x-rays. I ran out of the room so fast, I don't think my boss knew what had happened or the patient (and she just asked how my son was doing too). I took 20 minutes to speak to my SR, then went back to set up the next patient, with the biggest smile on my face!!!!!

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2015 at 9:44pm: Alcmom: Wheew.....glad you didn't get "that" call! Hope things are getting much better for him!

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2015 at 9:43pm: Thundertoes: UGH! I had that happen once...went right to voicemail. Turned out my battery was kinda low. So glad he called back!

Comment by Thundertoes on May 18, 2015 at 9:38pm: Simomma53, I was about to get pretty obnoxious with my cell phone company. I was sitting at my desk, with my cell phone right in front of me when the "voice mail" light started blinking. The phone never rang! When I saw that 847 number in the missed call queue, I flipped out. Then his message, "Mom! Answer your phone!" Oh my gosh! Thank goodness he called again a few minutes later. This would have been a VERY long night.

Comment by Simomma53 on May 18, 2015 at 9:08pm: Yes, finally heard from my SR also about 6pm. Too bad I was at work. But I took the time to speak to him anyway. Sounded great, just a little hoarse. Upbeat call. Thank goodness. I can sleep better tonight.

Comment by Martha jj for usa on May 18, 2015 at 8:04pm: ALCmom, I am thinking of you.... please keep us updated. I am in Virginia too. PIR 6/26.. Stay positive
