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 Lisamarie271 on October 19, 2015 at 1:29pm: I had my SR practice this over the summer. So hopefully she did it okay.

Comment by Hockeymom on October 19, 2015 at 12:59pm: Call. Ane at 7 am cst.
He sounded good..got his wisdom teeth pulled Friday..he hasnt gotten any of the letters we all have sent..

Comment by Brenda on October 19, 2015 at 12:48pm: Ship 11 Div 19... Got a phone call day, he sounds good. He said that everyone has a cold and that they were all doing alot IT (intense training), becuase people are slow or not listening. He said he is on a push schedule so he is either week 1 day 5 or week 2 day 1. He was clear on 34 days left though..so I am not sure what that means. He is still also getting Names and address for clearences but this was a personal call. He said the only Mail he got was the one I sent off 10/10 but nothing else. (we have sent others).

So I think that is all the info I got that might help, hope you all get to talk to your love one soon.

Comment by trishw5 on October 19, 2015 at 12:08pm: she definitely has no fat she only weights 110lbs

Comment by ellen0502 on October 19, 2015 at 11:45am: trishw5, Not passing the prone float part of the swimming test is common. It's hard to pass when there is no fat to float. :) Don't worry she will have many a try to pass before PIR, and she will also get "extra help" to help her pass. I am guessing the 5x's is a tactic to "try harder."

My son also was unable to prone float, but he was given the help needed to figure out the no fat to float issue. He passed just two weeks before PIR.

Hang in there, there is still plenty of time!!

Comment by Joan on October 19, 2015 at 11:14am: I got a call this morning from my son. He needed names and phone numbers. It was so great just hear his voice. Had his wisdom teeth removed on Friday. He sounded good. Just called for the information. Ship 11 div 020

Comment by deelight33 on October 19, 2015 at 11:02am: My son is on Ship 14 Div 022. I got a call Friday 10/16 around 9:30 E.S. time. It only lasted about a minute but it was GREAT to finally hear his voice. He said he was going to call Sunday 10/18/15, but no call ever came. Anyone else have SR on this ship & Div? Have you had any calls or letter yet?

Comment by trishw5 on October 19, 2015 at 10:20am: Was able to get my husband on phone with us. We keep telling her she would do fine. She said she could only try 5Xs. She said she thinks she having trouble passing it cause she has cold and can't breathe. My granddaughter which she is very close to said hey to her. She's 3 1/2 and said she sent her a pic in mail. Then she broke down again.I think this is the hardest part knowing they are upset and homesick and we can't do nothing about it. Breaks my heart.

Comment by Lisamarie271 on October 19, 2015 at 10:06am: I went to Boot Camp for the Marines so I can hear the voices of the instructors in my head. That might be why the news of them having a hard time is bugging me so much. I understand the stress and the felling lost in the beginning.

Hoping for a call. I just want to give her some motivation.

Comment by WhooPig on October 19, 2015 at 10:05am: Wow! Face down for 5 minutes?! I wonder how my SR did with that test? She didn't say anything. Hoping for that first letter this week! Those girls need to get their ducks in a row quick-like!
