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".

Comment by diannep on July 20, 2013 at 6:02pm: Oh boy, OregonMom> So sorry that even the phone in the bra over heart didn't work. I think your idea to quit mowing during bootcamp is a good one!

Comment by lovinglife1025 on July 20, 2013 at 5:46pm: Has anyone received calls today from Ship 12 Div 332? I had my phone on me all day and haven't heard from my son. I sent him a letter yesterday (7 pages). Hopefully he will have that soon.

Comment by PrdNavyMom2Sailors on July 20, 2013 at 5:40pm: Here's hoping it is 4 guests!

Comment by ellen0502 on July 20, 2013 at 5:00pm: The RTC has not yet posted the "official" listing of the divisions in this group, but it appears there will be 11 divisions, 331-340 and 943. If this holds true come Monday, which I am assuming is when the RTC will post, four guests will be allowed at PIR.

Comment by StaceySHIP14DIV335 on July 20, 2013 at 4:49pm: My daughter called this morning, 10:20 their time! She sounded good it was so good to hear from her. She turned 18 today!

Comment by JLM-MN on July 20, 2013 at 4:46pm: Our SR called today at 0830. Thank you to whoever gave the "heads up" on the 847 area code. He sounded good. Said they get Sundays off more or less...always something to do on a ship, I guess. It was wonderful to hear from him and to know he is doing fine. Next call in a couple of weeks!

Comment by CatMom509 on July 20, 2013 at 4:43pm: Hello!

     "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication,

      with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

      and the peace God, which surpasses all understanding,

      will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

                                                           Philippians 4:6-7

Comment by Emy⚓ on July 20, 2013 at 4:25pm: My BF called this morning!!! It lasted 5 mins but it was the best 5 mins!!! I was sleeping too but I'm glad he called!! It was around 9:20 CST! He called his fam too so he prob got 10 mins total. Ship 13 Div 334. He said they could receive mail now!

Comment by JV3 on July 20, 2013 at 4:05pm: My son is in Ship 14 Div 335 and he called this morning. It was good to hear his voice but now I'm missing him even more. I'm sorry for anyone that missed their call. I was so worried about that happening. Its hard when youre trying to go about your normal routine and the calls can come at any time.
