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 momof boys on November 30, 2013 at 1:35am: I wish I could hit "like" on all your posts! I agree, this site and all of you made this journey bearable. I didn't think I would get through all this, but the tears slow down and life is good. Our Sailors are doing what they want to do! God Bless all the Sailors and all of you!

Comment by MagoostersMom ⚓ on November 29, 2013 at 1:42pm: Love seeing that timer on all 0's!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) The best reward for going though all of BC for us was when that big door opened and we got to see our SR's celebrate their accomplishment of finishing boot camp! And that moment of "Liberty Call" and we finally were able to hug them! I was fine at PIR until that big door opened and Islandmom yelled out "Here comes our babies!"... then I lost it! WOW! That was amazing!!!!! I will never forget that day ever! I'm so thankful to have met everyone on here and have you all part of my Navy Family!!

((((((((NMH)))))))) to you all! :)

Comment by Shesh on November 28, 2013 at 10:46pm: One of my many blessings this day is all of you Moms I met on this site. Without you, I would have had a hard time getting through the BC phase of this journey my son decided to take "us" on. So much support, encouragement, information and devotions. We've all gotten through this phase and I think we are all stronger for it. Now on to schools and then deployments. I hope we can still lean on each other even though we are branching out in different directions. I think FB is the place to be but I hope to still see a lot of us on N4M's. Happy Thanksgiving my new friends ! <3

Comment by MagoostersMom ⚓ on November 28, 2013 at 8:10pm: I hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!! My thoughts and prayers to all of you and your loved ones! :)
