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."

~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".

LOL! I love it Saratoga!! And it does sound like forever Deanna!! LOL I have one of the countdown apps and love it...by the second!
I wanted to tell you all that during the day I don't get to post because I'm at work but I'm able to read everyone's comments. I feel bad because there are so many I would love to console or share stories then by the time I get off work I have no idea which group the comment was made and things just get lost. So just know that I'm thinking of each and everyone of you throughout the day; I'm feeling what you're feeling so I know EXACTLY what you mean! Sigh. I would be a complete wreck if it weren't for all of you so thank you thank you thank you!!! :o)
Hugs to all!

No, Deanna: Only 2 yrs and under don't have to be on the list. 3 yrs and up have to be on the list, as well as active duty/retired military.
