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 ellen0502 on September 27, 2013 at 12:12pm: Your SRs receive mail Mon-Fri and can mail letters on Monday. When the mail arrives at the RTC mail room it is handled by the recruits. Boxes and boxes of mail arrives everyday. From what I understand there is a limited amount of time that the recruits have to "sort" the mail, any mail that isn't sorted waits until the next day.I would assume since there can be anywhere from 5000-8000 recruits in training at the RTC there would be lots of mail arriving everyday.

Whether that is the way it is I can't be sure, but that may answer why the mail seems to get "mixed" up and sporadic at times.

Comment by ProudNavyMomInFL on September 27, 2013 at 11:10am: Does anyone know on here if our SRs get mail every day or just one certain day of the week? There appears to be a "mail problem" in our division with our SRs not getting our letters or getting them very late and/or getting them out of order??

Comment by ChrisMom2013 on September 27, 2013 at 4:54am: Hello Everyone,

I'm Tammy, Proud Navy mom of my son, whom I am told goes by the nickname "Bruce". He is currently at boot camp at Ship 11 Div 408 and graduates on Oct 25. He will then be shipping out on Oct 26th to his "A" school in Groton, CT as SECF (Submarine Electronics/Computer Field). I had hoped he would get to come home for a short time before shipping out, no such luck.

My son tells me that he is doing well and has met some pretty awesome people that he already considers close friends. I have talked with him a few times on the phone and he sounds absolutely great!! Anxiously awaiting graduation, I miss him terribly and I can't wait to give him a great big hug!!

Wanted to send a big shout out to all the Navy Mom's!! I absolutely love this site......:)
