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 16, 2013 at 7:44pm: Cathymg are they both going in the service or did you just drop off the other to college.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on August 16, 2013 at 7:39pm: My son left on July 31st and his twin brother left yesterday, I was so hoping to get a letter from the first before the second left, but no such luck, I really want to hear from him soon. Well I need to write him, I have a lot to tell him.

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2013 at 6:46pm: Trent: The divisions start off with an average of 88-90 SRs. They lose some of them in the course of bootcamp, and gain others ones from previous PIR groups who were asmoed (delayed in training) and are now ready to train again. They graduate with anywhere from 65 to 75 or so per division. Obviously, the number varies from division to division.

Yes, that is correct. Once the SRs get their first mail delivery (usually on a Sunday---held mail), they will receive mail M-F.

Praying for calls for many of you this weekend!

Comment by navymom17 on August 16, 2013 at 6:46pm: ship 03 div 368 no mail or calls either...

Comment by Nancy (ship03div367) on August 16, 2013 at 6:43pm: ship 3 div 367 no mail..... hopefully a call tomorrow

Comment by NVYWIFE22 - ship9DIV370 on August 16, 2013 at 6:42pm: my husband is ship 9 div 370... Also no mail. I figured that they would get to write during their second Sunday routine... I feel like I'm stalking our mail man.
