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 Mandy on August 31, 2013 at 3:38pm: So no calls from 11/384 right? I keep checking my phone, I know I shouldn't expect it but I really want one...

Comment by WeeBee's Mom on August 31, 2013 at 3:26pm: Got my phone call!!!! 21 minutes and 40 seconds of strong, satisfied boy talk. Even was able to conference call with his sister. He hit the phone bank at a good time. They finished Day 1/4 yesterday and he thinks they train Monday. Says he really likes his division, his RDC is one of the better ones. They did well on something so they get to eat a candy bar today. He was very excited about that. The letter that you ladies helped me get mailed got there at mail call yesterday! Score one for N4M!!! He said one recruit got like 18 letters at once so I'm okay if I mail one a day no matter what Dad says :D Sure hope all our SR's get a chance to call. I am one happy Momma.
