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 Dmaeship12div410 on October 17, 2013 at 9:09am: So sorry for your loss Tracy. I lost my mom when she was 42 and I was 8. Heart attack. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2013 at 8:37am: Oh my gosh, Tracy> I am so very sorry. So glad she got to come home, but know she must still be in shock. I have a feeling that her shipmates will be a great comfort to her...prayers for all of you. I/my 2 sons (15 and 17) also lost my husband suddenly when he was only 51, so I know your pain. One day at a time....rest when you need to....and trust that the Lord does heal...just takes a while, life is forever changed, but happy memories will put a smile on your face in the future! Please feel free to friend request/message me if you like....mine happened 6 days after 9/11 so I have had lots of healing time (sons are now 29 and 27, sailor son a new dad!).

Blessings to your sweet daughter...

Good Morning All !

Comment by MachelMMmom on October 17, 2013 at 7:02am: Tracy I am do sorry to hear about the loss. I will most deffinately be praying for your family. And KB2OWJ is right they all have guardian angels watching over them, as do we all. What an amazing daughter you have.

Comment by KB2OWJ Ship 03 Div 415 on October 17, 2013 at 12:21am: Prayers to your daughter and your family Tracy. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was so very proud of your daughter. I know what its like to lose a Dad. Mine was 47 and its been 20 years, the pain doesn't go away. He was Navy and would be so proud of his grandson (who never knew him) and all those who are in BC right now. We know they have guardian angels looking down on them and keeping them safe. :( <3

Comment by Pastormom Ship 03 Div 415 on October 17, 2013 at 12:16am: So sorry Tracy 4

Sending my prayers

Comment by Tracy on October 17, 2013 at 12:09am: Please pray for my daughter, she had to come home suddenly for the unexpected death of her Dad. He was only 48, the funeral was today and she is already back at Great Lakes with her ship and div. I'd like to say thank you to her Navy family, they are amazing. She was proud and couldn't wait to return to them even under these circumstances.
