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 NavyMom1108 on November 15, 2015 at 12:13am: @diannep we were told by airline that no family pass for sailors family in early morning hours 5-7am. We we're able to stay with our sailor for about 12 hours. He looked extremely tired but didn't want to sleep. He just wanted us there. We leave back to Cali tomorrow so we had a lot of valued time with him. It was very bittersweet letting him go again. I met a lot of outstanding sailors. My son was the only male with about 16 female sailors. So I think he felt a little odd about that. But, he said he was looking forward to this day. His nickname was hedges.

Comment by Destiny's mom on November 14, 2015 at 7:46pm: I was able to sit with my Sailor for a couple hours. Her flight was later at 5pm. We had to go to our airport so we left her about noon. She was tired and said she would get a nap in the USO. They really looked out for each other. My daughter was held up by the TSA and one of the shipmates waited until she was cleared. Thank you all for the knowledge and encouragement. I will be moving on to the A school group pensacola and the leaving for bootcamp Jan group. My oldest daughter will be joining the reserves. Excitement never ceases around here.

Comment by diannep on November 14, 2015 at 5:15pm: NavyMom: Hmmm.....we have never heard of the sailors leaving before 5 a.m.. The first flights seem to normally go out around 6 a.m. or so. But never say never in the Navy! Glad the rest of you have been able to spend more time with your sailors!

Comment by NavyMom1108 on November 14, 2015 at 4:47pm: My son said that if there flight was before 5 am then no one was allowed to accompany their sailor.

Comment by NavyMom1108 on November 14, 2015 at 3:30pm: I've been here since 7am with my son. His flight leaves at 8 pm tonight. We have 3 guest. DELTA.

Comment by Lisa on November 14, 2015 at 3:18pm: We stayed with our daughter until her flight left at 11:15am

Comment by Texasmom on November 14, 2015 at 3:08pm: Met my son at arrival time ohare this morning and spent great honoring and admiring time with him until flight left. He flew delta. 4 guests went to gate with him

Comment by bzmom06 on November 14, 2015 at 2:56pm: I was able to go thru airport security and sit back with my daughter and have breakfast with her. I'm sorry you didn't get to. Her flight didn't leave until 730 tonight. She'll sit there all day alone... We have to make our way back home. Long drive to Texas and I have a preemie grandson that had some complications last night so we're heading home. We were told we could sit with her however long we wanted to. This was at 8 am tho

Comment by diannep on November 14, 2015 at 2:49pm: MaeJay: Interesting....wow....I wonder if our terror alert was increased because of what happened in Paris yesterday....and that is why they didn't allow you to visit until departure? It IS the airlines call on who gets the passes so it could have just been their decision in this case....but that seems odd since the airport would be more deserted (except for sailors!) at that time of the morning.

Anyone else not allowed to the gate to visit until departure with their new sailor?

By the way, MaeJay, what airlines was that?
