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".

Comment by proudmom of PH on June 26, 2013 at 5:10pm: Ellen. My son called Saturday and he told me that their division had put back all those SRs. I asked if they were being separated or were to graduate at a later date. He seemed to think they would graduate later. I sure hope so. It really worried me, too.

Comment by Rascal73 (Ship 11 Div 279) on June 26, 2013 at 4:57pm: Just talked to my kid!!!! Yay... Will fill you in after I get off work!! So relieved!

Comment by Jetskimom on June 26, 2013 at 4:50pm: Yea ship 12 div 280 all passed test! Got a short call! He sounded so happy! Congrats to all!

Comment by Ellen65 on June 26, 2013 at 4:35pm: CatMom509 - Thanks, I hope my SR makes it ok too. I think he's venting to me, who else, that's what I'm here for.

Comment by CatMom509 on June 26, 2013 at 3:10pm: Hello Friends!

       blessed are their children who follow them."

Comment by CatMom509 on June 26, 2013 at 3:10pm: Ellen,

Those who have the faith and strength will make it through and your son is one of them! It's usually a mixture of reasons why recruits would leave a division: medical, injuries, set back for attitude, actual separation. The Navy path is not for everyone, but I believe your son will be one of ones at PIR. Keep encouraging him. He can do this!!

Comment by Ellen65 on June 26, 2013 at 2:38pm: I received a letter from my SR today, he sounds ok but it's hard, hard. He said that his division started with 94 recruits and is now down to 78. Is that possible? They didn't all leave BC did they?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 26, 2013 at 9:39am: My prayers go out to you Cindilouwho {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Comment by diannep on June 26, 2013 at 8:05am: Great post, CatMom. Prayers for you, Cindilouwho. My son/wife are in a situation like yours where everything is coming down on them at once---so very hard. I agree with CatMom. Times like these call for faith that the Lord promises not to allow us more than we can handle, even though our physical bodies/minds feel otherwise.

Good Morning All !
