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 kadikaboom626 on August 16, 2013 at 1:22am: No mail to Colorado either. Fingers crossed for tomorrow or Saturday. Already on my third letter to my son, and here I thought I was being so calm about it. He's 24 but I sure miss him:-(

Comment by Vmom on August 15, 2013 at 10:18pm: No letter yet :(

Comment by Mary123 on August 15, 2013 at 9:37pm: I removed the address and told them to contact myself or his dad for that info.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 8:41pm: I didn't think it was a good idea to post my SR's address on fb for everyone only because teenagers can be so weird and I didn't want anything funky going on - but I did post on her page that I had her address and if anyone wanted it to message me! That way I could monitor who was asking! You hear so many things these days I wanted to be safe and I wanted her to get letters of encouragement! Also I felt that we had discussed who was her real friends and who was stalking a bit before she left so I kinda knew who to give the address to! Being female maybe it is different!

Comment by cmmnavymom on August 15, 2013 at 8:38pm: We received our form letter today....Ship 12, Div 372. Was so good to see "Dear Mom and Dad"

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 8:38pm: All the ship 12 division 371 moms - so glad you got your letters ! Yay! Our kids are together with their brother division 372! So excited we can start planning! Before you book your non refundable tickets check that it isn't cheaper to buy two separate tickets if something goes wrong! Non refundable tickets are very expensive and it worked out cheaper for me to buy two normal tickets if I need to than ONE non refundable!!! I will be flying from Houston!

Comment by CollinsMom on August 15, 2013 at 6:47pm: Got my form letter today, so it's official. Ship 13, Div 373. Feels good to finally know; now we can send mail & I can start the countdown to 10/4/13! Happy, happy, happy mama!

Comment by Deb (Ship12/Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 6:42pm: Was feeling yuck all day...sinuses or something and came home to the letter!! It cured what ailed me. Ship 12 Div 371. So happy to finally get it. Can send the letters we've been writing and can now start planning for the trip to GL.

Comment by Shanon24 (Ship12/Div 371) on August 15, 2013 at 6:28pm: Finally! Got my letter...my daughter left 7/30, been waiting awhile. :) Ship 12/ Div 371

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2013 at 5:50pm: Mary, it may be better if you post that you have it and ask his friends to private message you for it. Not sure I would want it on there for all to see.
