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 diannep on October 2, 2013 at 8:19am: GarayMom: Lala Ribbon Queen, another one of your N4Moms veterans, makes beautiful PIR ribbons for you all. If you are interested, find her under the MEMBERS tab up top....or wait for her to post here (red w/blue ribbons photo icon) and contact her from her page that way. You can see pictures/descriptions of the ribbons on her page and friend request/message her from there! She gets them to you quickly and they are affordable!

Good Morning!

Comment by KEB on October 2, 2013 at 8:16am: From now on most letters should be arriving on Wed/Thursday. The recruits get to send them out on Sunday (Monday morning). Later on, in the last couple weeks they get to send mail *sometimes* during the week. :)

Comment by MachelMMmom on October 2, 2013 at 8:10am: Hope you get a letter : ) I too am waiting for a letter or phone call. Either one will do.

Comment by 503 808 on October 2, 2013 at 8:01am: We will also be having a Halloween costume contest and candy for the kids so bring the costumes.

Crossing fingers today. Hoping for a letter from my SR.

Comment by 503 808 on October 2, 2013 at 7:57am: There is no price limit on the on the baskets. Its what you can afford, be creative. If your state is being represented already, Its okay to have more then 1 from each state. People have different perspectives on where they live in each state. Or possible your a Craftier, Baker, Memory Maker, or a Woodsmen. Show off your talents. It doesn't have to be state related it just needs to be fun. Who knows you might be able to pick up a Holiday gift or too. if you say well I can't bring a basket..You don't have to make a basket to participate, you could buy a raffle ticket and contribute that way.All the money will go to a good cause. Pay it forward. Please spread the word.

Comment by 503 808 on October 2, 2013 at 7:57am: Thank you Machel ( OH - IO) We are up to 5 Will you be 6 ? We have Kansas, Washington, Oregon, Ohio and Florida so far.If your state is already being represented. Feel free to represent still . We all have different perspectives of where we live. Or you could do one on based on your likes/childs likes etc. Just have fun with it. Pay it forward its for a good cause. Please help spread the word. Wouldn't want anyone to miss out on the fun.
