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"

Good Morning!

Comment by proudeaglescoutnavymom on May 24, 2015 at 2:19am: My son is on ship 2. I am very proud of all the recruits who has made the choose to join the service. I was in the Army, my husband the Marines and my father in law Navy. Our son is 5th generation military.

Comment by brendap on May 23, 2015 at 10:56pm: Thanks to the moms who "know" things...there are many comments and it is worry some and confusing sometimes. Thanks for settling my nerves...just a really long day today

Comment by ellen0502 on May 23, 2015 at 10:49pm: Not getting calls does not mean they are not working together or have done something wrong, it is quite the opposite.

Calls are random, except for the three expected calls, "I am here", "I am still alive", and "I am a Sailor." They can receive a call for any reason, it can be taken away for any reason, and it doesn't necessarily have to do with your recruit.

They only time they are "required" to call is if they are repeatedly failing something and are moved to FIT, will not make PIR, have been Asmo'd, or have been hurt, etc.

Look forward to receiving a call at anytime, but never expect a call!:)

No news really is good news. :)

Comment by coachgirl32 on May 23, 2015 at 9:59pm: I'm not sure what it means..hopefully not:(

Comment by brendap on May 23, 2015 at 9:57pm: Did not get a call yet.... Does that mean they are not working together and they did not do something right? Somewhere i read that the Div gets to make a call home when they get things right and done in a timely manner. Just asking,,,,i dont know the answer

Comment by coachgirl32 on May 23, 2015 at 9:46pm: Did anyone get a call from their loved one in DIV230 ship 13? We didn't get one today:(

Comment by NavyNana on May 23, 2015 at 8:23pm: My grandson called! He sounds fantastic! So relieved to hear from him! Ship 14, Div 226.

Comment by CatMom509 on May 23, 2015 at 7:33pm: Oh yea, this Monday being Memorial Day means all the SR mail will go out on Tuesday instead, so expected letters will arrive one day later~~
