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"

Susanne,

Please be advised that it is not allowed for an SR to add the name of someone else's family member onto an Access List.  It would be big trouble for both SRs and the families involved~~

Any extras can go to the Chapel (1/4 mile away) to view PIR on a Livestream link, but no refreshments are allowed in there (allowed in the graduation hall).  I personally would want to view PIR in the comfort of the hotel room on a laptop with room service!  The lobbies of most of the hotels show the PIR.  Call your hotel to make sure~~   The extra family member can greet and hug your SR after PIR.

My SR left on August 26 th . I haven't received my letter yet. If my calculations are correct he should have PIR oct 23. Am I correct?
Comment by scorpiozen on September 6, 2015 at 10:54pm

Mr. B's Mom: My son is also in Div 356!  I am hoping to hear from him soon.  My patience is wearing thin.  :-)

Comment by connectwithnavy on September 6, 2015 at 10:14pm
Thanks to all the wonderful moms in this group. I'm feeling more informed and at ease (as a grandmother, I don't expect a phone call). You've been very patient with this grandmother who is long distance from the parents of my SR, and I've bugged them too.
Comment by Navymom0602 on September 6, 2015 at 8:23pm
Love2dance my son is on the same ship and division. So proud of our SR's. So happy to receive his call today. Makes a difference when you can communicate. Counting down the Fridays until PIR.
Comment by Love2dance on September 6, 2015 at 7:52pm
I got my call from my SR son today. He is ship 2 div 950. It was so awesome hearing his voice
