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 proudmama on August 27, 2013 at 10:34pm: MCEastcoastmom- It sounded like to me that the division was able to send letters yesterday:)

Comment by Marcelle on August 27, 2013 at 10:33pm: Anyone, is that the website pirgifts.com to buy coins, or is there an official Navy site?

Comment by proudmama on August 27, 2013 at 10:31pm: MCEastcoastmom- I'm sure you are fine as long as it didn't cost extra postage. I sent a bunch of cards... but I thought because they were small, that it would be fine. The RDC didn't have a problem with the cards, white envelopes etc. but with the amount. I didn't realize that they would all pile up and be delivered at one time... since I received my letter so early, I immediately sent letters pre-written by myself and family and friends...He received at least 22 cards from our family alone...so it was the quantity of mail and how it directly related to storage. He asked for letters written on paper only in order to be stored easier. Hope this helps!

Comment by boocoo on August 27, 2013 at 10:21pm: Sounds like it TritonMom, doesn't it? :)

Comment by TritonMom on August 27, 2013 at 10:10pm: Boocoo, I love that, the "rents!" Oh my gosh, I bet that personal note meant the world to you. How sweet. He is doing just fine!

Comment by MCEastcoastmom(Ship 13 Div 385) on August 27, 2013 at 10:08pm: @proudmama- I have only mailed my son 2 letters so far and one of them was a 5x7 card. However my daughter also sent a card and i am sure he got a letter or 2 from his Dad's family as well. Hope we did not get him into any trouble. I have been holding a card for 4 days to try to avoid overload but I think after this i may start only sending letters now too. Sure I hope he was able to write me this past weekend. It is so hard not hearing from them.

Comment by MCEastcoastmom(Ship 13 Div 385) on August 27, 2013 at 10:03pm: @diannep- Thank you for the gift website. I was wondering what to get my son for graduation and the challenge coins are perfect. Very good price too.

Comment by boocoo on August 27, 2013 at 9:51pm: Yeah Tritonmom, personal touch for sure. That's cute. We used to call our parents the "rents" when we were kids. My son put a very short note in our letter. It said "love and miss you guys" and his signature smile face that is not really a smile face!!! LOL!

Comment by boocoo on August 27, 2013 at 9:24pm: TritonMom, my son is on Ship 12, Div. 388. He is going to MA "A" school after boot camp, so no, he is not on a Sub, or a ship. Will be on a base somewhere!!!

Comment by proudmama on August 27, 2013 at 8:51pm: Fitness123- he did not give any specifics, but said that writing letters and placing phone calls must be earned... and are not given and that's why nobody has placed a phone call yet...but the letter was postdated on 8/26. He didn't say that anyone person was causing trouble or having difficulty. It just sounds like this division just needs to pull together. If you want any more specifics... pm me!
