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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 15, 2013 at 7:04pm: Navymom09/245 - I wonder if you got the same one that I did!

Comment by diannep on May 15, 2013 at 6:41pm: CatMom: This site was started by the Navy, but you are right in that it is not an official part of the Navy. I understand that some of the recruiters do pass along this site info (like FTLW said), others may not. Also, it could be given to the recruits, but never makes it to the parents! I have a feeling that is what happened in my case....I found N4Moms by searching on google for Navy bootcamp support! Wheew! Glad I found it.

Cindyloohoo: Just remember that there are 2 MeetandGreets setup for you all already! The night before PIR....FTLW has a discussion above in the Discussion Forum with the info! All you have to do is attend and enjoy! :-)

Comment by Cindyloohoo (ATI Mom) on May 15, 2013 at 6:07pm: Hi Mom's! Tickets booked and staying at the Navy Lodge.... and soo excited for our SR's. We MUST begin our planning for the meet and greet yes?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 15, 2013 at 5:39pm: I've heard that before CatMom509. :-( Funny thing is o had somewhat of the opposite experience.
One of my sons recruiters gave me a N4M's brochure that had a N4M's magnet with it! I was already on the site, but thought it was pretty cool that he would give me that, let alone even have the material!
You just never know!

RTC just this last year added a link to this site on there website. Never had it before :-)

Comment by CatMom509 on May 15, 2013 at 5:26pm: I wish the recruiters would direct their recruits families to Navy for Moms, but since we are not an official Navy department or whatever, probably not. I remember at one of the last DEP meetings we were at, I was asking my daughter's recruiter about something I saw here and one of the other petty officers said that I shouldn't be spending so much time on Navy for Moms!! Maybe they think ignorance is bliss?? I think not! lol!!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 15, 2013 at 5:19pm: Good Afternoon!

Comment by Marc's mom (Judi) on May 15, 2013 at 5:03pm: My son's GF got a letter today. Not mom :( but at least she did!

Comment by Crom on May 15, 2013 at 4:59pm: how exciting navymom! I hope to hear from my SR soon even if it is through his sweetheart, I can't imagine they have much time to write

Comment by Navymom21 on May 15, 2013 at 3:24pm: YAHOO!!! Got our first letter from out SR today! I can hear his voice through his writing. Everything is good there. He did say to keep the letters coming! He is ship 12, Div 237. Anyone else have the same? So proud of him.

Only 43 more days ladies!!!!

Comment by ellen0502 on May 15, 2013 at 12:41pm: shirleyann, There have been several in the PIR groups that have had students at a school write to the SRs. The mail does need to be addressed to a specific SR, so put them in a manila envelope and send them to your son. You should probably warn your son they are coming, and ask him to hand them out. He will most likely have to open the envelope in front of the RDCs, but they have no problem with SRs receiving them and handing them out:)

Make sure those that are writing the letters know to include their return address, some may get a response back if time allows for them to write.
