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"

Comment by diannep on May 20, 2015 at 7:49am: IzzyBZbee: It is most likely that they will be flying out on Fri. I doubt they will fly on the 4th. But they won't know this until right before PIR. So....you should plan to stay until Sat if you can, so you won't miss airport visit time with your sailor.

Good Morning All !

Comment by Nuke wife/nuke mom on May 20, 2015 at 7:44am: Hi Izzy! I was wondering the same thing since mine is flying out to GC for A School. However, I think that we will just need to be patient & flexible. More than likely our SRs won't even know until right before PIR.

Comment by IzzyBZbee on May 19, 2015 at 11:22pm: One big question since my sons graduation lands on Thursday, how much liberty do they get, since the 4th is right around the corner? He is not staying For A school at GL

Comment by IzzyBZbee on May 19, 2015 at 11:19pm: Hi everyone, my tears are slowly going away, finally got a written address for my boy! Yoo-hoo! Thank god for all of you experienced navy moms, you're a blessing to us newbie navymoms
My son is also ship 14 div 226 I read someone else's comment

Comment by DCCMom on May 19, 2015 at 11:12pm: Hello! My son is Ship 14 Div 226.

Comment by Sweetsunshine on May 19, 2015 at 9:50pm: I wanted to correct my comment earlier. I did get the short call on the first day just no call since then. I am being patient and focusing on the positives. I know he is being challenged to the max and learning skills to carry him into his career as a Navy Sailor!! I am feeling excited to connect with all of you as we get closer to PIR :) It is very nice to have this place to reach out and know others are going through this too. It is encouraging and helpful to read all of your comments. Thank you!

Comment by Huntersmom on May 19, 2015 at 8:53pm: My son is ship 3 div 227...

Comment by PROUDMOM on May 19, 2015 at 8:39pm: Hi! My SR is Ship 14 Div 225. We already made arrangements to travel. Hoping everything goes well, orherwise we have plan B.

Comment by proudmom1 on May 19, 2015 at 8:28pm: My son is Ship 03 DIV 227. I got a call last night. It was just for a medical question but it was still nice to hear his voice. He was away a college before this but I was able to talk to him whenever I wanted. Its not the being away that bothers me its the not talking. My main problem is the fact that after PIR and after A school he will officially have to move away from home. That's when I'm going to lose it.

Comment by Nuke wife/nuke mom on May 19, 2015 at 4:00pm: Hi everyone! My SR is Ship 13 Division 229. We haven't heard from him since the initial call and the form letter. Looking forward to PIR & possibly meeting some of you that weekend.
