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 Pa Mom (div 368) LS sailor on August 17, 2013 at 2:46pm: We got our call was able to put him on speaker phone sounds good. Even though connection was not. Said his a school could have been moved. Will have to see I guess. Just so happy.

Comment by xrosaelenax on August 17, 2013 at 2:19pm: my heart is racing! My fiance is ship 11 Div 366 and I still haven't heard from him! I am seeing that you all got phone calls, I really hope mine comes soon :(

Comment by 2timenavymom ship11-366 on August 17, 2013 at 2:07pm: My son said they will be in SIQ for two days but should not affect graduation.

Comment by Pa Mom (div 368) LS sailor on August 17, 2013 at 2:03pm: If a sr needs his wisdom teeth pulled does that change his pir date. Just wondering I know my son still has his and another mom posted they may have to have th removed.

Comment by maureenwithfive on August 17, 2013 at 2:03pm: All is well again. My SR called (Ship11/366) YAY!

A short call but a great call - lots of information.

P-hold for 6 days, waiting for females to populate the division.

As of yesterday (Friday) they are at Week 1 - Day 4 of Official Boot Camp.

They are a "Push DIV", which he said means, even though they will not go through all 8 weeks of BC (only going through to Week 7 - Day 3) they will still graduate on 9/27. He said it has something to do with the end of the Navy's fiscal(?) year.

Not getting his first paycheck until the 1st, because of the long P-hold.

Has only had PT once so -far, but he passed his initial swim test and his PFA - YAY.

He sounded GREAT! Very up and happy!

Comment by 2timenavymom ship11-366 on August 17, 2013 at 1:44pm: He said the food is amazing, the peanut butter shot hurt like heck, not getting much sleep cause 82 plus people trying to use 6 ironing boards at night. Lol. He said the div is still trying to come together as a group. Those with wisdom teeth may be getting them pulled next week.

Comment by 2timenavymom ship11-366 on August 17, 2013 at 1:42pm: I just got my phone call !!!! 14 mins. Was not long enough but he sounded real good. For all those in this div they was held back for a week. So no mail has been sent. They will be allowed to mail out Sun/ Mon.

Comment by ChristinaMarie (Ship 14/Div 298) on August 17, 2013 at 1:38pm: My son just called too! Ship 11 Div 365/366 are making their calls so be ready! They are all doing really good. He said he loves getting letters and it keeps them going so keep writing!

Comment by AP Amy on August 17, 2013 at 1:28pm: Ship 11 Div 366 is making phone calls. Just got mine from my daughter. So good to hear from her this morning. She sounded great and told me that she had received my letters. So excited and happy!

Comment by 2timenavymom ship11-366 on August 17, 2013 at 12:42pm: I just mailed mine one. The mail guy suggested a stamp for $5.60. Tell your SR to take all the letters out of there envelopes and throw away then just put the papers in Manila to return to you. I weighed a hundred sheets of paper and it was about 5.50 in postage Also you can address to and from with your address so the post office will still deliver with postage due if ness.
