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".

I was glad that you got more than 7 minutes with your Sailor!! Here's to a safe trip back~~

Comment by petrojax on October 19, 2013 at 11:05pm: Spent 8 hours with our sailor after graduation on Friday. Then we met him at the airport till he flew out to Mississippi this afternoon. He texted us his arrival in Meridian, and we are spending the night at the Navy Lodge tonight before heading out for the 20 hour car ride home in the morning. This weekend went by too fast, but it was awesome!

Comment by Edie on October 19, 2013 at 9:42pm: Took my sailor to naval base around 5 because his curfew was at 6 you should see him watching his time. Had a great time with my sailor took the family to rainforest cafe was the coolest thing ever. Good food too. Exaoensive but plenty of food!

My baby is leaving for penscola in couple hrs meeting him at the airport then 7 hr road trip back home!very proud of him and everyone that made it thru bc! But I'm not ready to let him go!

Comment by Edie on October 19, 2013 at 5:35pm: This sucks got 7 minutes then got to take my sailor back to base then to meet him to the airport! Who knows how long before I see him again! This breaks my heart!

Comment by ellen0502 on October 19, 2013 at 12:04pm: The name of this group will change to Alumni of... so stay here to keep in contact with each other. Let everyone know what and how your SAILOR is doing. There are also groups you can join for A School, rating, Ships etc.

Some of your SAILORS (love that word) may not have school together, but might still end up in the fleet together

Comment by CatMom509 on October 19, 2013 at 10:46am: Good Morning All!!

     "But I have trusted in Your mercy;

      my heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

      He has dealt bountifully with me."
