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"

Happy Birthday to your SR son!!

You can ask, "Does anyone have an SR with initials AB from Los Angeles, CA or CD from Las Vegas, NV?"

Comment by CatMom509 on July 10, 2015 at 5:18pm: LPM,

Mail is distributed to the SRs Monday through Friday~~

They can write on Sundays (or other days they can sneak in) and their mail is sent out to you loved ones on Mondays (except for legal holidays).

Comment by CatMom509 on July 10, 2015 at 5:15pm: Happy Friday!!

Comment by LPM on July 10, 2015 at 4:23pm: Thanks. On vacation with poor cell reception. We missed our SR's call. :-(. He left us a message and sounded so sad. We have sent multiple letters each day so I was hoping he had received at least on by now.

Comment by Diana on July 10, 2015 at 3:28pm: I'm pretty sure every day....but sometimes the mIl people forget to go get it....our girl didn't have mail for 2 days cause they forgot to go get the mail.....she was very disappointed. But she got double when she finally got it. They can only send on Sunday though so it may take longer for you to get it

Comment by LPM on July 10, 2015 at 3:24pm: I am sure the answer is somewhere on this site but I have not found it. Does anyone know how often mail call is for the recruits?

Comment by lawlady1963 on July 10, 2015 at 2:22pm: New Navy Mom HL: Happy birthday to your son!!!!!!

Comment by Kootiebear on July 10, 2015 at 1:52pm: Megan - You can go to www.mynavitaxi.com to look at Sarge's rates. Click on Taxi Service Rates. They seem high to me. We opted to rent a car.

Comment by Diana on July 10, 2015 at 12:21pm: Our girl is in 272 ship 12.

Comment by New Navy Mom HL on July 10, 2015 at 12:07pm: Finding out from my son who he knows that we have a Mom or loved one on this site.
Anyone have a guy or gal in Ship 12 Div 272?
