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"

Sorry I haven't been on yesterday or today. We are now in FL on vacation and I can't use my phone for this site. We were traveling all day yesterday. We got here last night and my brand new computer that I have had less than 2 months will not turn on at all. So, so very disappointed in DELL :( I called tech support and have to mail my laptop to them and wait about 2 weeks to get it back. No idea how they expect a small business owner to work without a computer for that long :( Thank goodness my hubby has his laptop and I can use it enough to get on a little bit each day. If anyone needs me or has any questions please email me at uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I can check email and facebook from my phone but not this site for some reason :(
Happy Independence Day to all of our Navy family. Just a couple more weeks and I will get to see my daughter and beautiful grand baby :) I hope you all had a wonderful day and I hope you got to spend it with your sailors or got to talk or FaceTime with them. <3 It is because of their service and those who served before them that we are able to enjoy days like this with our families <3 God Bless them all!

Happy 4th everyone! Just heard from my son's girlfriend, she got a letter and said he is doing great. Happy he is, just wish I could "see" for myself! Hoping he will have time to write his old mom too :) - missing him on this holiday weekend.

I second that Amen jappy! Definitely missing my son more today. Decided to turn it around to a more positive feeling. Our harbor has huge water wars that my son loved being a part of. I usually watch from the sidelines. Today in honor of my son, and for what he is missing, I am picking up our biggest water cannon and someone is going to get wet!! Hope you all do something your son/daughter would be doing today if they were home. Happy 4th everyone.
