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 diannep on October 29, 2015 at 8:35am: First night of BattleStations today! Great calls coming in for some tomorrow afternoon. I will post which divisions can expect those calls in the morning when we are allowed to say....Good Luck!

Comment by SMW729 on October 29, 2015 at 8:34am: TheRocksmom, I hope that helps me sleep. The last few days have been rough. This morning thoughts of our SR's were running through my head and I was up at about 3:00 with no more sleep to be had. I think at this point I am more nervous about my son getting his medical waiver since there are so many being discharged. Granted what he needs it for is weird to me, but of course I am just a mom. CatMom509, I think that is exactly what I needed to see today. Everyone have a fabulous day.

Comment by diannep on October 29, 2015 at 8:26am: Good Morning!

TheRocksMom: I wondered what those bright stars were in the sky next to each other! Neat to see!

Comment by Tamme Billions on October 29, 2015 at 7:06am: Needed that today catmom.

Comment by TheRocksmom on October 29, 2015 at 5:46am: Good morning, I just thought you all may want to know the planets are arlined, the closest they have been, if u look to the Eastern skies, Jupiter, Venus and Mars. Quite A site I might add, will be like this thru beginning of November. Next event 2021. Today I will remain calm and do ALOT of. Praying for our SRs.

Comment by CatMom509 on October 29, 2015 at 4:39am: John'sMom,

Hang in there! Your SR son is in the intense training phase of Boot Camp where you will only be receiving his letters. Before long, you and your younger son will be hugging him at PIR!!

Please encourage your younger son to apply himself and do his best so his brother will be proud of him! When you SR is in A school, he will be able to call his brother to chat with him more often~~ ((HUGS))

Comment by CatMom509 on October 29, 2015 at 4:30am: Hello!

      "Give your burdens to the Lord

       and He will take care of you."

                                   Psalm 55:22

Comment by MountainMom on October 28, 2015 at 3:18pm: TraG151 and Tamme - I'm just seeing your posts....and my heart is breaking for you, your boys and your families....stay strong and try to remember... He has a plan for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jer 29:11)

Comment by KYNavyMomma on October 28, 2015 at 2:59pm: Sheryl where are you traveling from? Do you have a hotel yet that you plan to stay in? What Div is your SR in? Sorry if you have already said all this, I just cannot find any other posts. Don't give up hope....something will work out so that you can be there to hug your Sailor.

Comment by SMW729 on October 28, 2015 at 2:55pm: My heart aches for you ladies, I know this news is truly gut wrenching. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt your kiddos are destined for great things and this is just a stepping stone in their path. I wish there a was an easier less trying way for them to be back in the loving arms of their families. Please remember we will saying prayers for all of you.
