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 Kaleigh's Gramma on June 13, 2013 at 1:17am: 25Navymom...You have to stay positive! Remember, no news is good news. Our SRs don't have much time to write, especially now when they're working on everything they need to master for BS 21. Yes, it's hard sometimes to face the day, but you can do it! Think of something that is special for just you and your son, something that maybe happened years ago. Let that thought put a big smile on your face. We all miss our SRs. My SR is my only grandchild who I raised from the day she came home from the hospital...I miss her so very much, but I'm so incredibly proud of her decision to serve her country that I could burst! Start right now...smile!

Comment by 25Navymom on June 13, 2013 at 12:43am: Saturday was a tough day for me. I think the worst thing is pretending to be ok.
When in reality I am not. I attended a family function and every now and then, I would get asked for my son and if I have heard from him. :(
Came home and cried like a baby .. I miss my son so much .

Comment by marriedahoosier on June 13, 2013 at 12:21am: No letters or calls from my SR either. Oh, he is in big trouble when I see him. He will be the one who's getting pulled out by his ear, after my tears of joy, of course.

Comment by Eaglemom2 on June 12, 2013 at 11:49pm: No letters or calls here either, getting very depressed and sad about this. I know he is ok but man I need to hear his voice. I do listen to one of the messages that he left when we missed a call early on, that helps.

Comment by 25Navymom on June 12, 2013 at 11:22pm: Didn't receive any letters, hoping that tomorrow I will have some news of my son.
:)
We are one week closer.

      and your ears to words of knowledge."

Comment by CatMom509 on June 12, 2013 at 4:36pm: Lala,

Glad you got some sleep and the coughing is calming down...now for your ribs to be on the mend!
