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".

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2013 at 6:20pm: Sigh, Lala.....wow, I want to be THAT PEACEFUL! Not a care in the world! So very sweet!

NavyMomGreer: Yes, some divisions in past groups have actually done the "same tshirt" thing!

And, yes, there is livestreaming of the PIR service for those who cannot make it. I will post the link under the "pages" up and to the right of the page, under the MEMBERS PHOTO BOX. It is a "new thing"....just started up a couple of months ago, but a huge hit!

Welcome to the new members here!

Comment by NavyMom1727 on August 6, 2013 at 4:56pm: SoCalNavyMom & dinnep, thank you very much for the info, much appreciated. I saw on there that the graduation ceremony can be streamed? That would be great, cause then my sister would be able to watch it from back home. Oh & I also saw on here about the meet & greet the night prior......already told my daughter & folks we will be attending. I told them we have to leave at 4:30am, it's a 7 1/2hr drive for us. I so can't wait!

Comment by SoCalNavyMom on August 6, 2013 at 3:29pm: Disy- I do not for sure know if my SR will graduate on 9/27, that is the date that the recruiter gave us, hopefully we are on track. I hope that your SR is also on that date. I am looking forward to meeting the Moms.

Comment by SoCalNavyMom on August 6, 2013 at 3:28pm: Disy- That is too funny... Yes we are always worried about our outfits. LOL... I'll go and have a pedicure too :)

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 6, 2013 at 3:22pm: Not sure if my SR is 09/27 yet or not but I just had to join to tell SoCalNavyMom - - as a SoCal mom just relocated to TX I just have to LOL at your post about what to wear!! We are so typical SOCal's I've been looking up what to wear too!! Hahaha! It's in our blood! Still waiting fr box and letter my SR left 07/31 so counting it seems 09/27 but will wait patiently for my form letter!! Well as patient as I can - meanwhile I will be planning outfits!!

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2013 at 2:03pm: Sailors flying out for A School will leave the day after PIR...unless there is a problem getting flights (then Sunday)...but most will leave then. They will be bussed from RTC in the wee hours of Sat morning to wait for flights. You can meet them there, and with ID can get an airlines gate pass and wait until the plane leaves. You can also bring personal items for them (phone, laptop, etc) to the airport since they cannot have these while on RTC. You will have Friday with them after PIR until about 8 or 9 at night.

For those staying in GL for A School, you will see them briefly after PIR and then they move as a group next door to A School. This takes a few hours. They will then call you for their Liberty...and you pick them up there. They will have daytime Liberty on Fri, Sat and Sun with you, returning to the base at night. They may have their personal items with them when returning from Liberty.
