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 diannep on August 30, 2013 at 8:16pm: Melissa: Sunday schedule on holidays usually which means some "down" time for them. Letter will be mailed out on Tues rather than Monday. Hoping letters come next week for you all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 30, 2013 at 7:31pm: Thanks so much everyone. This has been a crazy week and I am not exactly sure where the days went. It really feels like Tuesday to me. My Sailors came home today and then headed to a family reunion with my son-in-laws family. But I did get to spend most of the day holding my new granddaughter :-D And I will get to spend a couple days with them when they get back after the reunion before they head back to VA. I can't believe how fast the time flies and my Sailor has to head back to work very soon. Wish they lived here so I could keep her myself. I hope you all have a great holiday weekend :)

Comment by Melissa on August 30, 2013 at 6:33pm: Does anybody know what our recruits do on holidays? Do they keep at regular training? I'm hoping they get to write or a phone call. Lol! A mothers wish:)

Comment by diannep on August 30, 2013 at 3:49pm: Good Afternoon, Everyone!

McEastcoastmom: Wheeew! Glad the problem was solved.... :-)

Comment by CatMom509 on August 30, 2013 at 3:45pm: Happy Friday!!

Comment by MCEastcoastmom(Ship 13 Div 385) on August 30, 2013 at 1:44pm: I just had a "freak out!!!' moment. My kids always call me on my cell phone. No one ever uses the home number unless to dial 911. So needless to say, i freaked out because my cell phone stopped working. I could not dial out or receive calls and have no extra cash at this moment for a new one. Thankfully i shut off this so called "smart phone" and turned it on 10 minutes later to find that it works again! I have not received a letter from my son and was stressed out that i was also going to miss a call. All better now. :)

Comment by MomOfFutureAM (Ship12Div387) on August 30, 2013 at 1:36pm: no letter or call as of last night...hope to have letter in mail tonight & get a call over the holiday weekend

Comment by Skyjay on August 30, 2013 at 12:03pm: Gfilmhh- Thank you for sharing your daughters log. My son left on Aug 12. I have not recieved a letter or a phone call. I'm struggling with what to do for the weekend for fear I will miss his call. If I go he will call, if I stay home he won't. Hopefully there will be a letter when I get home from work today then that will make it easier.

Comment by proudmama on August 30, 2013 at 11:20am: Gfilmhh- I loved the log too! I was wondering what is her rate?

Also, I have a "funny" story to tell you all....because Gfilmhh's daughter's log reminded me of this...

I have a good friend who used to be boot camp instructor and eventually did admin work in an office for the military. She worked very hard in the office. Updated the files and caught up all the paperwork that had fallen behind. This was such an amazing accomplishment that a high level officer flew into where she was stationed and awarded her a Medal! She showed me the pics and the medal which is modestly tucked away in a drawer now that she is a mom of four.

The funny part of this story is that she received a medal for getting the paperwork all caught up in the military office!

Your daughter's log reminded me of my friend who was so good at keeping the details together accomplished more than what most others had done in the past! I truly believe your daughter will be very successful in her Navy Career-whether she is in admin rate...or something else! Life is about taking care of the details!

Comment by MCEastcoastmom(Ship 13 Div 385) on August 30, 2013 at 11:13am: SRWyattCorpsmanMom - that is what i was just saying about boys. Send your son the questionaire too. :) Hopefully answering A,B, or C and True/False to many of the questions will get me some insight. hehe
