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."

for
N4M'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"

Good Morning Navy loved ones!

*Form letter address is the correct address

Comment by diannep on August 10, 2014 at 8:05am

I would contact his recruiter.  Just be sure to check that address with the one in the form letter when it arrives since every now and then, there is a difference.  Your SR will still get those letters if the first address is wrong (the division number is the important part).

Good Morning All !

Comment by Bobbie on August 10, 2014 at 12:46am

That's what I'm worried about most is that he will be wondering why we aren't writing him.  I have 7 letters sitting here just waiting for an address.

Comment by diannep on August 9, 2014 at 11:21pm

Bobbie:  Hope you get the form letter soon.  You may want to contact the recruiter and see if he/she can give you a mailing address.  Just remember that mail is held from them for the first 2 weeks after arrival, until the Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained, so your SR won't be missing letters...yet!

Comment by Bobbie on August 9, 2014 at 11:12pm

I'm assuming this will be my son's date but I still haven't gotten his letter.  He arrived 7/29.  I would just like an address to write to him. :(
