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 diannep on May 14, 2015 at 11:57pm: Yes, Momluvsu: It helps alot if you mail them a phone card....they can use their Navy-issued supply card to buy one in the NEX, but saves them money if you send one!

Comment by RBS#34 on May 14, 2015 at 10:29pm: I received a call yesterday from my SR. It wasn't a social call he needs me to gather information to send. Ship 14 Div 221

Comment by Momluvsu:) on May 14, 2015 at 9:37pm: Was just wondering can we send phone cards to our SR. I am looking forward to the first call.. I work 3rd shift but keep my phone close by because I don't want to miss it. Ship 12 DIV 220

Comment by mcmomma on May 14, 2015 at 9:05pm: I have not received a phone call as yet. I'm hoping this weekend I do. Ship 12 Div 219!!!

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 8:35pm: Martha: Keep an eye on the PAGES section, on the right and above on this page, under the MEMBERS box. ellen will be adding lots of info there which will help you learn about the Navy! Ask any questions you have here and one of us will try and answer! It is so true that this group helps so many get through Bootcamp as their SRs are training so hard! :-)

Comment by Martha jj for usa on May 14, 2015 at 7:58pm: Wonder what they are all doing right now, while we are all excited about joining this group! I come home from work, and since "my recruit" is no longer here, I feel closer to him by checking in on this amazing website and learning more about the NAVY!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 14, 2015 at 6:16pm: Hi!

Welcome to Navy for Moms!!

My Sailor Daughter's PIR was March 2013--can't believe how fast time has flown!. She is an IT3 (Information Systems Technician, Petty Officer Third Class). I primarily provide scriptural encouragement for the PIR groups, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and a few of the other groups that I am a member of. I'll also help out with anything that I am familiar with--all kinds of tidbits I learned during my daughter's Boot Camp experience~~ This site really made the time go much faster. I'm so thankful that my Sailor daughter sent me the link for this awesome group of friends when she enlisted!! Count 9 Fridays and before you know it, you'll be seeing your baby again at PIR!! Here we go!!!

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 5:18pm: Just a heads up that they are not allowed to write letters for the first 2 weeks after arrival until the Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained....so the only letter you will be receiving is the form letter...for a while. If you write them, this mail is held from them for this same time period, but normally on a Sunday, they finally have their outgoing mail collected for the first time (mailed Mondays) and they are given the held mail. After this initial mail distribution, they can only mail out on Mondays, but will receive mail M-F.

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 5:16pm: Thundertoes: We have also heard to book your flights on a Tues....not flying on a Tues, just booking whatever dates you want on a Tues....that it is cheaper. Not sure that is true either but that is what we have heard.
