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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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".

Comment by diannep on July 8, 2013 at 5:27pm: jordansmom: They are not selected for the push divisions...those are just the last ones that "fill up." They get it all done though even though they have a few less training days to do it!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 8, 2013 at 4:29pm: Everyone be sure that you and everyone going with you to PIR checks their photo ID and make sure it has not expired or won't expire before you get back from PIR. We had a mom a couple months ago who got to the airport and could not board her plane because her drivers license had expired. She had to change her flight and leave to go to the DMV. it was costly mistake for sure. Even if you drive you will need current ID it to get into PIR so be sure it hasn't expired :)

     "My dear brothers and sisters,

      be strong and immovable.

      Always work enthusiastically

      for the Lord, for you know that

      nothing you do for the Lord

      is ever useless."

Comment by Rock on July 8, 2013 at 3:02pm: ellen0502 - it does indeed seem like a really long time. Prayers for you and your son! I'm already dreading that part. :( I'm glad you had a great time with him before he left.

Comment by ellen0502 on July 8, 2013 at 2:46pm: Have had a great couple of weeks with our sailor, but alas, this morning we put him on a plane to Japan for the next leg of his Navy adventure. Three years seems like a really long time. :(

Comment by ellen0502 on July 8, 2013 at 2:38pm: The link to what they are doing day by day is in the "Pages". The "Pages" are located on the right side of this page just below the member icons.

Comment by licis gramma on July 8, 2013 at 2:14pm: diannep - thanks, it helps to know what they are doing.

keefa - I just google "day by day, naval boot camp" and one of the search items is the Navyformoms link. It takes you the right area so we can see what our SRs are doing each day / week.

Comment by keefa on July 8, 2013 at 1:18pm: Quick question if someone could refresh my memory I saw some where on this site I believe on how to see what the recruits are doing each week.

Thanks

Comment by jordansmom on July 8, 2013 at 12:34pm: My son is in ship 2. Div 940 and is in the accelerated push program. How and why do they get chosen for that? I would appreciate more information.

Thanks LJ
