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."

This group is for those who have loved ones graduating from Boot Camp in 11/18/2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Community Guidelines and OPSEC

Hello Everyone.

Safety for your SR (future Sailor) and you!

LAST names are NOT allowed anywhere on this site.

FIRST names ARE allowed but I, and some of the other “veteran” moms, will most often advise you not to use them. This is a public forum and anyone can read the posts-they do not have to be a member (if the group is set to private, the public cannot read but all N4M members can-so all you have to do is join) While they use their last names in BC (in fact they don't usually, if ever, find out each other’s first names until the end of BC), the RDC's know who they are and can then, with the right amount of info, link them up to you. So, let’s say you use your last name in your N4M name, post a picture of your SR...easy to match up...and so on.

Why does that matter? Your SR's are trying to get through BC with as little undue attention as possible. "Fly under the radar", so to speak. There have been reports from moms of their recruits being matched up with them. Some are just identified…some get IT (Intensive Training), I am guessing this depends on WHAT is posted…I know of one mom who said that her son had to do 5 push-ups just for every time she posted!

The MOST important reason for being discreet is OPSEC-Operational Security. This is a way of life for us now. It will be for your Sailors career and for some of them, even more so, depending on their individual security clearance. Some moms have mentioned that even today after years they do not know EXACTLY what their sailor does.

SPECOPS...definitely need to be VERY careful.

Thank You.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 29, 2011 at 5:50pm: Hey Betsy - Welcome back!

Welcome to all the new members too!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 29, 2011 at 5:44pm: Divisions 003 and 004 would be "brother" divisions and will train together. As will 001 and 002...then those that follow will pair up. You see that you are both in the same "ship"...you will most likely see the other divisions in a different ship but the DIV numbers will follow consecutively. The 900 DIV will match the TG - Training Group - number in the last two. This will be TG 01 and the performing, 900, DIV is 901.

Comment by flbradybunch (Corpsman Mom) on September 29, 2011 at 5:34pm: Welcome to the group chrisnavymil - more than likely you are in the right place. My SR is Ship 12/Div 003 per the recruiter (still no form letter).

Comment by Chris_submom on September 29, 2011 at 5:04pm: Hello, I am told that this may be my group to be in. My SR is in division 004 and ship #12. Is this correct??

Comment by Gette on September 29, 2011 at 3:30pm: I got the form letter and another one from Caitlin yesterday. She is doing well and at this time she will be graduating on 18 Nov. I am so excited. She did tell me not to make any kind of arrangement till the time is closer.

I too have more family that would like to be at graduation. We may be reserving extra rooms and hoping they can get in, if not they can at least spend some of the afternoon with her.

Comment by flbradybunch (Corpsman Mom) on September 29, 2011 at 3:13pm: Betsy - is your sailor still in Pensacola or was that part of your name "back in the day"? I ask because I live in that area!

Comment by flbradybunch (Corpsman Mom) on September 29, 2011 at 2:53pm: Mailman came and still no form letter :-(

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on September 29, 2011 at 2:52pm: Thank you Dianne. :)
