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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 15, 2015 at 12:59am: "is" not via

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 15, 2015 at 12:56am: NavyDad - Just to add to the info in the link that was posted. The BAH ( Basic Allowance for Housing) will be based on where the spouse is living while their Recruit/Sailor is at BC and A school once they are done with school the spouse is expected to move with the Sailor. If the spouse does not then BAH via based on the sailors duty station location.

BAH starts from Day 1 of BC but you may not see in the first pay check. It will be prorated back to them.

Married sailors will also receive Separation Pay. BUT this does not start until after your Sailor has been gone for 30 days.

Military personnel do not receive pay stubs. Their info comes in the form of an LES (Leave and Earning Statement). The LES is only available on the myPay website.

Here is the link to DFAS (Defense Financing and Accounting Service):

http://www.dfas.mil/militarymembers/payentitlements/aboutpay.html

It will have links on how to read an LES, myPay (you can't access anything but you can see what it looks like) etc.

Service members access secure sites like myPay with their CAC - Common Access Card (They have a CAC reader that plugs into the computer) . Think "ID" but it is actually much more. They have websites they can access for information about their careers etc.

While my hubby was deployed he gave me access to his myPay with a username/password so I could have access to our LES'. Of course personnel should always be choosy on who they give access to secure sites.

Comment by Punkysmomma on October 14, 2015 at 9:46pm: @mommak...I have a son in div 024!!!

Comment by MommaK on October 14, 2015 at 8:14pm: While I think it is great that she was chosen for this, I hope it doesn't put too much pressure on her. Is there anyone else here who has a daughter in either Div 023 or 024? She said that she has a few friends already, but I didn't get names. Maybe she will give me more info in a letter soon. It was weird because I was surprised by the call and had trouble thinking of all the questions I had for her.

Comment by VirgoMom904 on October 14, 2015 at 8:09pm: Thanks everyone for the info, I had no idea what a Yeoman does, just thought it was a rate they chose at MEPS. So does that mean that they can finally start getting and sending out mail?

Comment by diannep on October 14, 2015 at 7:45pm: I agree with CatMom. The leadership positions are wonderful....but they end after RTC. It is an honor to be chosen for leadership abilities though, and those abilities will carry forward into A School and duty station, creating much success for a sailor!

Comment by CatMom509 on October 14, 2015 at 5:23pm: MommaK,

With all the paperwork a Yeoman has to do--niice, clear penmanship would be a definite plus!!

Comment by CatMom509 on October 14, 2015 at 5:18pm: VirgoMom904,

An SR's rating has no relation to being chosen as Yeoman or any of the other Recruit Petty Officer positions. They just get selected if the RDCs think they can handle the responsibility~~

Comment by MommaK on October 14, 2015 at 5:17pm: She didn't change her rate... She said it was only because she has nice handwriting. Lol She said she has been "dropped" twice. Once with the other RYNs because something went wrong in the office and once as a division because people weren't listening. I had to ask what "dropped" meant.... Extra intensive training (push-ups)
