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 MachelMMmom on October 11, 2013 at 11:12am: Thanks Ellen and Diannep, for all your knowledge and comforting words. It's helps us moms to relax a little.

Comment by ellen0502 on October 11, 2013 at 10:59am: Like diannep said, moving ships while in BC happens quite a bit. There can be so many reasons, maintenance, staffing, etc.

Just a few months ago there were several divisions in multiples ships, and in different TGs that were getting shifted around at the same time. It was like hide and seek trying to keep up with all the moves...where did they go? :)

Ship movement is common, and moving ships shouldn't have any impact on PIR.

Comment by loulouamyc on October 11, 2013 at 10:50am: I have been getting mail from my SR on Thursdays so when I didn't get a letter yesterday I was just hoping that maybe today. No letter today either has any one heard how 03/415 is doing as a group?

Comment by Smile09 AD/HM Mom on October 11, 2013 at 10:38am: YES< do bring phones. They will be able to take them to A school! Whatever they can fit in their sea bags and backpacks - they can take to A school from the airport. If you want them to call you while in A school, they will need their cell phones. Dmaseship - I honestly do not believe the ship issue is going to affect our PIR in the least. Don't even worry about it - or, at least, try not to!

Comment by Dmaeship12div410 on October 11, 2013 at 10:21am: I HOPE like heck we find out what's going on with them being moved. I hope it won't affect their PIR cause my family has already taken vacation days for then and booked hotel already. It don't take much to get me flipping out about things and this is a BIG one.

Comment by Dmaeship12div410 on October 11, 2013 at 10:16am: 20 days, 22 hours and 44 minutes til our PIR:):). Congrats to all the new Navy Sailors and their families we are so PROUD of you and thank you for being our heroes.

Comment by MachelMMmom on October 11, 2013 at 9:22am: Emilyship9, I asked her to send me a list but she hasn't. But when we talked on the phone last week, she said some bras, jeans and her phone but not her laptop. She will be staying at GL for A school so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Comment by EmilyD on October 11, 2013 at 9:10am: Machelship12, what are you bringing her? I had asked my son what he needs, and 2 letters ago he was under the assumption that he may not even be able to bring his phone at first. He's heading to San Antonio.

Comment by Dmaeship12div410 on October 11, 2013 at 9:09am: My son is on ship 12 div 410 he didn't say anything about moving but he probably forgot or don't know anything. He's so quiet like me and don't like to talk or ask questions in front of a bunch of people.

Comment by diannep on October 11, 2013 at 8:22am: JENJEN: It could be possible that they shut the ship down for maintenance, which they do periodically. Moving divisions to another ship is more common than you think. Another possibility is that they were consolidating more divisions in one ship rather than maybe having ships partially full...to save on expenses connected to that barracks. Just a guess....
