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 CatMom509 on September 24, 2013 at 5:12pm: To add to diannep's suggestion, ask your SR to put the training week and day at the top of each letter they write, then you can follow when your receive their letters. (3-1, 3-2, 3-3, etc...)

Comment by CatMom509 on September 24, 2013 at 5:08pm: Hello All!

      "Listen...and be wise,

       and keep your heart

       on the right path."

              Proverbs 23:19

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2013 at 4:02pm: Training days are numbered 1-5.

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2013 at 4:02pm: You want to ask your SR training week 1/day 1 date, not bootcamp date.

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2013 at 4:00pm: 2xMilitaryMom: If you write and ask your SR to tell you what date was 1-1 (Week 1/Day 1), you can keep up with what is going on. Training days are counted M-F. Weekends are "hold" days. Holidays back their day count up one day...doesn't affect their PIR date. Here is the link to follow along once you found out your SR's week 1/day 1 date:

Comment by 2xMilitaryMom on September 24, 2013 at 3:31pm: My step-son is in Ship 11 Div 001. We finally received a copy of the Form Letter from his mother. Letters are being mailed!! His father and I are very anxious to hear from him. Someone told his father, we can track his progress on-line??

Comment by Emsmom on September 24, 2013 at 2:49pm: My daughter is Ship 11 Div 001. Can't wait to hear from her to see how things are going!

Comment by ellen0502 on September 24, 2013 at 2:04pm: alphonsie, Processing days are the same it is the hold days that can differ. Some divisions fill right away and are immediately sent off to training with no hold days. Other divisions may take some time to fill, that is when the delay comes.

Those division that are not filled immediately may be waiting for the next bus of recruits to arrive the next day, or even over the next several days. They may be integrated and waiting on more females etc. Since recruits do not arrive at the RTC everyday of the week it can add days to their waiting.

Example:

The first two brother divisions are filled in two days and sent off to start training. The next two divisions are integrated, or one all male and one all female. Enough males have now arrived, but not enough females, so they wait. The next two divisions which are all male fill, but the two divisions before them still do not have enough females, so they are also put on hold. Over the next couple of days more females arrive to fill the division and all four division are sent off to training.

Comment by BakersDad on September 24, 2013 at 1:55pm: My son is Ship 11 Div 002. He joined to be an AC (Air Traffic Controlman) just like my grandfather was. When I went to MEPS in '91, it was my intention to do the same, but they suckered me into being a nuke.

Comment by Kirsten on September 24, 2013 at 1:16pm: My Husband is on Ship 11 DIV 002. Can't wait until November 15 which is one day before his birthday!!!!!!!
