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."

CLICK MEforN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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 NanVM on October 3, 2013 at 10:16pm: How do I find the pix on Facebook? Can someone post the link?? I'm looking especially for Ship 9., Would LOVE to catch a glimpse of my SR or the people who she is with.

Comment by nancy611 on October 3, 2013 at 10:11pm: Got a letter today!!! WOO HOO!! Sounds like he is doing great! Really enjoying the PT and IT! He said the hardest thing is getting everyone to be a team-like stop talking when they tell them to stop talking. He really enjoys the food and sleep-made me giggle -so him-lots of food and sleep. My food bill has drastically decreased! I bought new shoes! Sending him his 6th letter tomorrow!

Comment by iHeartmySailor⚓ on October 3, 2013 at 9:40pm: I'm hoping to see the group pic for div 421 also.

Comment by ellen0502 on October 3, 2013 at 9:28pm: I have posted the pic of 952 in your division discussion group. :)

Comment by GGCmom on October 3, 2013 at 8:47pm: The div 952 pic is up on fb! So good to see my SR!

Comment by GGCmom on October 3, 2013 at 6:11pm: I got a letter today...woo hoo!!! Thursday is now my favorite day of the week! Can't wait until next Thursday. He's doing good, tired but good. Said he has a great RDC who doesn't yell too much (at least not as much as some of the others), and he's only 25, so he "gets them". He said he's doing well, and "only 6 more weeks"!

Comment by Dee'smom on October 3, 2013 at 2:02pm: Hey all, I got 2 letters today from my SR!!!!! She wrote one the 22 and then on the 29th. Big difference in attitude and feelings about BC. So glad to have heard from her. She said our Letters were what kept her going. She passed the swimming test and push ups and sit ups. Not running. She had a fever during the swim test, but pushed through it. Her job is towel P.O. She said things are going better now. Wow, what a relief to hear for her! Keep writing folks, the letters do matter to them.

Comment by bklyndgirl on October 3, 2013 at 1:12pm: Hi Moms of SR
For the meet and greet on 11/07/2013 we we want to do gift basket raffles it could be from your state or even gift certificates that can be used online
Tickets for the baskets will be 5 dollars or 5 for 20 the money that we make will be donated to Sarge and his wife for all the wonderful things they do for SR's and their families. Please help us make this a memorable meet and greet for them and us parents. Boot camp teaches our sailors about team work so let's show them that their families could do the same.

Comment by Aa on October 3, 2013 at 9:12am: G'morning all! Just sharing this info from U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command fb page.

"The furlough and government shutdown has not affected mail being delivered to recruits. For those who are worried because a package or letter sent a few weeks ago still has not arrived, please remember that there are thousands of recruits at RTC, all of whom receive mail. After it is picked up from the local post office, it must be sorted in the base mailroom and then delivered to the divisions. These extra steps, along with the fact that recruits receive a TON of mail, oftentimes prolongs the delivery time."
