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 ellen0502 on July 2, 2013 at 2:10am: I don't know much about your son's A School, and when they are allowed to make calls etc. It will be your son that will give you his address, he might not even know it at this point. You will probably hear from him again soon.

Comment by 25Navymom on July 2, 2013 at 12:13am: Ok, I have a question ? My son sent a text Sunday saying he had arrived at A School, this was yesterday 9 am. Are they allowed to call or when do we get an address ?
He is a SeeBee in Port Hueneme.

Comment by shirleyann on July 1, 2013 at 11:24pm: abnoelle--I will pass this on--he seems to be doing better tonight--he says he is fine while he is focused on the job--the quiet times get him though--which A school is your boyfriend at?...and Cindyloohoo--thanks for prayers--he can't leave base but they can come on and visit--no leaving for two weeks...

Comment by abnoelle on July 1, 2013 at 10:07pm: My boyfriend said 5 guys who went to A school with him after boot camp got broken up with the weekend of graduation.

Comment by Cindyloohoo (ATI Mom) on July 1, 2013 at 6:53pm: Prayers to your Sailor Shirleyann...all the stress he's been through, enough is enough! Glad you have some family there to keep his mind off things. And shame on that young woman if she didnt realize what she was involved with being in love with a Sailor. She may regret it someday because these kids are true and strong!

Comment by shirleyann on July 1, 2013 at 5:33pm: So true--thankfully two of his cousins and their families just got there on a vacation they had planned last year--wonderful timing-he really respects their husbands so am praying they will be able to help him

Comment by CrewMom on July 1, 2013 at 4:56pm: Oh I know! We just told him to stay strong and remain focused. Its sad that one of the best days of their lives have to be remembered by a break up!

Comment by shirleyann on July 1, 2013 at 4:49pm: Prays for your son too--and thanks--too bad we can't kiss it better like the booboo's they got when they were young...

Comment by CrewMom on July 1, 2013 at 4:41pm: Shirleyann- my son got the same thing from his girlfriend the day after graduation. Praying for your sailor and let him know that like my son said 'girls love guys in uniform'!

Comment by shirleyann on July 1, 2013 at 3:52pm: No--she didn't make graduation--he communicated with her for the first time in three weeks--she had been on vacation with her parents...
