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".

His little sister was jumping for joy.It sure made our day. Thank you lord.

I am so, so happy I cried. What is this happy I cry, sad I cry .

Comment by hmr615 on May 18, 2013 at 6:31pm: Got a call today, he was so happy he joined the Navy and loves it. Its amazing how you feel as a mother when you know your child is happy! Thank you Jesus for your favor upon our sons and daughters!

Comment by abnoelle on May 18, 2013 at 6:23pm: My boyfriend just called me! It was amazing to hear his voice again!

Comment by 239NavyMom on May 18, 2013 at 6:18pm: I got a letter today...so proud of it, think I will frame it.

Comment by shirleyann on May 18, 2013 at 6:18pm: So excited about how much my son has grown in this short time. When he called he said, Mom, I'm sending a list of guys I'm tight with and we need song lyrics, we miss our music and are singing and need the words, and I'm circling the guys that aren't getting mail so you can write them too..wow! recognizing others needs and doing something about it and making new friends....Awsome for someone who has always been a lone wolf type....

Comment by CrewMom on May 18, 2013 at 5:50pm: 1proudmom- I cried also when I heard my son's voice and told him that I wouldn't cry during our whole conversation. It was so nice to hear from him and know that they are doing good.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 18, 2013 at 5:27pm: 1proudmom - Don't feel bad, k? Glad you got a call and that he was able to talk to Dad and GF as well!

Comment by rws9d245 on May 18, 2013 at 5:18pm: Got a call today from my son. I was so happy I started crying and felt bad for not being able to hold it in. He sounded strong and confident but said they are very busy. His dad and Gf also got a call. He said letters were on the way! He told me send letters daily.
