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."

My son is on there too. I have gotten 1 small letter andno phone call. I keep seeing all these others getting calls and I'm getting really anxious. We usually go out with friends on Friday night but I'm afraid if I go tonight I might miss a phone call. That wouldbe devastating.

No phone calls from my SR either. It is rough to say no news is good news, especially when others get the phone call. BUT we are over halfway there!

Just a word of caution...last names are strictly forbidden on N4M (OPSEC) and while first names ARE allowed we advise that it is better not too. The RDC's read these pages and it is better for your SR to "fly under the radar". I understand you wanting to help each other, especially as you are anxiously waiting for calls...so my suggestion is that you friend each other and send the names in a private message. These ARE private.

I knew what ship and div from my letters home from my son, however you can get on facebook. Don't ask me exactly how I am not that super with all this electronic stuff, but I went to navy divisions or something like that and you can hook up with some parents once you know the ship and div #.
