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."

forN4M's Community Guidelines and 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".

Awww flying bunny rabbits are cuties!! Glad they are not bothering her anymore and the doctors have adjusted her medication~~

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 29, 2013 at 9:17am: Good morning everyone, thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers and support for me and my family. My mom is feeling better and acting more normal now. They released her from the hospital last night and we are happy to have her home. Her heart medication dosage was way too high and was part of the problem of her hallucinations and when you combine that with too much carbon dioxide you have one very loony acting person. Poor thing was reaching in the air for bunny rabbits that could fly and was talking to people who were not there. I honestly thought we were loosing her. It is amazing the difference some good doctors and a few days can make. So I appreciate all of you very much. I am so happy I decided to stick around and become a volunteer mentor on this group. You all are my extended Navy Family <3

Congrats to all of you and your New Sailors, travel safely and have a wonderful time :)

Comment by diannep on August 29, 2013 at 8:06am: Safe travel today! Don't forget the MeetandGreets tonight....and be EARLY tomorrow for PIR! You won't regret that!

Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on August 29, 2013 at 3:18am: CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families!!

There are also groups for A school, C school, ratings (jobs), state, regional, bases, ships, twins/multiples, and the Christian Chat one that I am a member of! Stay plugged in to Navy for Moms!

Traveling mercies to all on their way to an AWESOME PIR!!
