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"

Comment by mommacnavy on September 18, 2015 at 2:12am: Garry'smom & TheRocksmom - I hope I get my letter tomorrow! Even though he gave me some of the info on the phone today, I'm getting greedy, and I want to see it in print...in his writing :) Garry'smom, what Div & Ship is your son? The Rocksmom, I was hoping our sons would be the same :( I booked our room at Navy Lodge! And, we are planning to go to Sarge's Meet & Greet Thurs night, per advice on this site & from some family that were in our shoes only 2-1/2 years ago.

I am also so thankful to have all the moms on this site... it is SO comforting to go on here and see that I am not alone in what I'm dealing with, and that I am not crazy for being so excited about the tiniest things (ie dirty clothes)! It will be nice to meet you in Great Lakes!

Comment by diannep on September 17, 2015 at 9:24pm: Welcome to the group, TheRocksmom, Kada, and Garrysmom! So glad to see this group growing!

Garrysmom where you?Great Lakes here I come! My advice book your rooms, I will be at The Navy Lodge! Don't wait to make reservation. I am so thankful to have all the moms on this site. A special thanks to Tiffany and Lemonelephant. The time you devote here has made such an emotional uncertain time, SOO much easier to deal with, you both are truly a blessing, I cannot or ever will be able to thank you enough!♥ Angela
