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."

for
N4M'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".

Looks like my Sailor and I will be meeting a Navy Mom and Grandma for dinner tomorrow night. Maybe some others will want to join us? :) I love VA Beach :)  Going to the NEX in a little while to do a little shopping, I will try to control myself and not hug EVERY Sailor I see lol

Comment by sailorsgirl on September 10, 2013 at 9:27am
Are these tests the whole div takes or just the sr. My sr said they haven't recieved a flag uet :( but he's passed all his tests?
Comment by chi's Mom on September 10, 2013 at 8:02am

WeeBee's Mom, I am glad to do what I can as is my family living near the Navy Training base.  I know we all feel a bit better since receiving calls and letters from our SR's.  I don't post much but I do read everyone's comments and always send blessings and good energy not only to our SR's but the families.  I grew up as a AF brat and married military also, so this waiting is somewhat familiar but different due to this is my child!  Our SR's are rounding the corner and see the end goal in sight.  I just found out one of my co workers has a nephew on ship 11/div 384 and will be graduating the same day as my daughter.  This is a great website and everyone here is so open and welcoming but most important, supportive.  Thinking of all the Mom's out here on this site.  peace

Lala Ribbon Queen- You are so right about VA being a military town..its a military state, they are everywhere. My father was a Master Chief in the Navy and that is how I ended up here in VA from Puerto Rico. I got here at 16 and never left. I love it here.:)

Comment by munchkinmom on September 10, 2013 at 12:40am

thank you diannep for the info.  I will ask her for the pswd in my letter to her tonight.  My daughter did call her husband and got to talk to him and her son for about 40 minutes.  I know I got the love last weekend, but I was really hoping to get a call. He said she is dealing with shin splints, blisters, but otherwise is doing well.  They earned a flag, Yea!!!    31 days to go.....we can do this moms.
