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 diannep on September 16, 2015 at 8:23am: Good Morning!

Comment by Nicki on September 16, 2015 at 1:39am: Its getting harder and harder everyday not hearing from my sr. My worries grow greater by the week..any advice?

Comment by CatMom509 on September 15, 2015 at 3:50pm: JazzysMom,

Your SR daughter should still be able to make phone calls. It's not an "either/or" situation on phone calls and letters. She might have been on watch when her division made calls though and it's up to the RDCs to allow make up calls~~

Comment by CatMom509 on September 15, 2015 at 3:46pm: Hello!

Comment by Gpmp on September 15, 2015 at 3:43pm: Jazzy mom what div?

Comment by JazzysMom on September 15, 2015 at 3:17pm: I got my first real letter from my daughter. I am so excited! She's in the real bootcamp as she calls it and it seems to be going well. I haven't received a call yet but I guess as long as Im getting the letters I'm not going to expect a call. Anyone receive a phone call yet?

Comment by diannep on September 15, 2015 at 8:51am: Also, PIR date will NOT change.....all will PIR then, unless they are discharged or setback in training for any reason.

Comment by diannep on September 15, 2015 at 8:50am: Momma Mickey: Navymom is correct. They have Processing Days upon arrival....the number of these days varies. Then the 6 Training Weeks start (5 days of training a week, M-F). After they have BattleStations (Training Week 6/Day 5 usually), they are sailors but some will wait a week before PIR, others just a couple of days. Those days all count as part of the Bootcamp experience. So when you read something like 1-4, know that means the Training Week/Day they are on, not the Bootcamp Week/Day.

Good Morning All !

Comment by Navymom2015 on September 15, 2015 at 6:27am: Momma Mickey when was that posted what day they are in the first few days they are there are processing days and don't count towards boot camp my son is also in Div 359 ship 11 I googled the navy boot camp and found a site that pretty much gave day by day what they are doing

Comment by Momma Mickey on September 15, 2015 at 12:04am: I don't understand this stuff at all! Someone posted in one of the groups on Facebook that my daughter's division is week 1-4 which I don't understand. She's been gone almost three weeks! Shouldn't they be in week 2 and how does that affect her PIR??? Soooo confused.
