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."

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"

Comment by KTP (Kim) on October 1, 2015 at 10:56am: morning ! @guysmom, I did the same in the letter last night thinking it might be the last on before Battlestations, and talked about helping those who need it and it's about leadership and being a team player, boy I hope that helps, but this is his dream, can't wait for the call !

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2015 at 9:54am: Good Morning!

Comment by guysmom on September 30, 2015 at 9:18pm: I will share the scripture in my letter tomorrow the envelope is all sealed up. I sealed 3 colorful fall leaves in wax paper for my SR. I hope the it makes him smile and not sad. He loves fall. I have been writing in my letters to work as a team and listen. I too am getting excited to get pack and get on the road to see my Son.

Comment by CatMom509 on September 30, 2015 at 4:29pm: dnn01,

You're so welcome!

Comment by CatMom509 on September 30, 2015 at 4:28pm: Hi Friends!

     "O my Strength, I watch for You;

      You, O God, are my Fortress."

                                    Psalm 59:9

Comment by dnn01 on September 30, 2015 at 12:22pm: Good afternoon Everyone. This Battlestations has me on pins and needles. Praying that all our SRs come through fine. Thank you CatMom509 your scripture is definitely appropriate. Hoping these storms are out of the system by the time I have to fly out.

Comment by diannep on September 30, 2015 at 8:41am: Good Morning All !

Comment by CatMom509 on September 30, 2015 at 2:28am: Friends,

This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon. Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.

     "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

      I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

     When you pass through the waters,

      I will be with you; and when you pass

      through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.

      When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;

     the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord,

     your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."

                                                                 Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Comment by candy2 on September 29, 2015 at 10:37pm: Yes debi62, it seems like yesterday I was leaving her with the recruiter to go off to basic, and now basic is just about to an end, woot, woot. LOL, I am most definitely ready for graduation and to see how much my baby girl has matured. I just keep praying for this battlestation week to go smooth for them. And they work together and have to only go thru it once. They just need to come together as a team.

Comment by debi62 on September 29, 2015 at 10:07pm: OMG, everyone in 2 weeks from now we will be ironing, packing, and rechecking our lists!!! This is so much more exciting than Christmas!!! I just can't believe we're so close!! I look at the writings of the "newbie" parents and can't imagine how far we've come since then. I want to reach out to them and let them know that their time will be here before they know it!!! God bless them all and provide them with an abundant amount of patience!
