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 August 3, 2013 at 11:27pm: Deposits come in on the 1st and 15th of the month...unless with Navy Fed....then the 14th and 30th/31st of the month. Pay starts about 3-4 weeks after arrival (and of course includes backpay).

Comment by Sharla on August 3, 2013 at 11:25pm: I have my daughter's password on her Navy Fed acct, and I just checked. She got paid as of 7/30. Cool!

Comment by Phoebs on August 3, 2013 at 11:00pm: Jordan'Mom: Wish there was something that could be said to put your mind at ease. But I can't come up with anything...I feel for you.

Comment by JanaGabe on August 3, 2013 at 10:55pm: Montana mom... I knew that they start to get pay even they in boot camp. I just didn't know when... Nice to know that they start to make deposits. Thanks for share this information with me. My son is just 17 and we never opened checking account for him before. So, he opened at navy federal, when them ask about it in boot camp. So, I don't know what's going on in his account, even him. Thanks

Comment by Jordan'Mom Ship 13 Div 333 on August 3, 2013 at 10:46pm: @Sharla...I think that's part of what hard about this...he's counted on me being a part of everything he's done for the last 18years...I too know its his journey..just wish I could hear him say that he's doing ok..to hear with my mamma heart and KNOW he's ok.

Comment by Katie D (Ship 3 Div 338) on August 3, 2013 at 10:39pm: I had no idea I should have given my son a sewing lesson before he left. We spent most of our time last Thursday talking through how to sew on a button. Hopefully, it worked.

Anyone flying out of Los Angeles on Sept 5th?

Comment by Phoebs on August 3, 2013 at 10:36pm: JanaGabe: Yes, I did see a deposit coming in, which surprised me I thought they wouldn't get paid until after BC. But I didn't pay that much attention to those conversations.

Comment by NavyDad206 on August 3, 2013 at 10:30pm: I have access to my daughters account and she also told me to look for it on the 15th of this month.

Comment by JanaGabe on August 3, 2013 at 10:28pm: Montana mom... Because you have access to your son account. Can you tell me if they already start to get pay from Navy? Just to let my son know... He is anxiety to have his own money..... Lol

Comment by Sharla on August 3, 2013 at 9:43pm: Yeah, I don't think it's teeth either, she wrote in a letter about being relieved that she didn't have to have them pulled. Unless something changed on that. I'm trying to keep positive, and keep telling myself that she's fine and me not knowing anything doesn't matter. It's not about what I know. This is her journey. It's just so hard not having that peace of mind of motherhood.
