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 bluedragonflyz (SHIP 13 DIV 029) on October 17, 2013 at 8:13pm: For thanksgiving I think we are going to Golden Corral. Does anyone want to go as a group?

Comment by ABitofWhimsy (Ship03 Div021) on October 17, 2013 at 8:00pm: @Paycel. Any time! We are all here for each other. This group has really helped me through this process so far. If the FB page posts anymore photos for our group, I will let you know and post them.

Comment by ABitofWhimsy (Ship03 Div021) on October 17, 2013 at 7:46pm: Hey jfrier, can you tell me if your SR in Div 21 or the brother Div 22? Are tiffytbe, TJ'sMom, vivian, AKNavyMom and myself the only ones with SR's in Div 21 on here? Just want to closely keep up with as well as share info when applicable about our SR's Div. Thanks. :) And a question for a veteran Mom? How do the brother Divisions work? Are the privileges and punishments for both or separate? Thanks!

Comment by Payce1. Ship II 025 on October 17, 2013 at 7:40pm: ABitofWhimsy. Thank You , made my day by posting the picture I have not heard from my son so this really made me cry with joy!! Love being able to share, your comments and thoughts ate so helpful.

Comment by Bethin NY (Ship 11 025) on October 17, 2013 at 7:40pm: Proudmom & sweetshave - we'll be @ dinner with you guys - our budget will be tight too :) Such a good Mom I agreed to bring the GF, so we'll be footin the cost for 4 for 4 days....Yikes !

Splash - you are a sweetie & I appreciate the support more than you can imagine. Right this minute, I am convincing myself that this is not illness, it's pure anxiety. I know I can said the Little Engine, so I guess I can too...

Comment by ABitofWhimsy (Ship03 Div021) on October 17, 2013 at 7:22pm: Thank you, TJ'sMom and Tiffytbe for sharing some info about our Div. I really hope they don't lose any more points (?) and do a good job so they can call this weekend. :) I will definitely share any info my SR shares with me pertaining to the Division as well.

Comment by sweetshaye on October 17, 2013 at 7:20pm: Definitely not budget friendly ;)

Comment by proud mom of Kayla on October 17, 2013 at 7:10pm: I don't mean to be stupid but are those prices per plate? Omg, that won't fit into my budget. I had a Del Monaco stake at a high dollar steakhouse here and it was not $50. I think I am in for sticker shock in Chicago.,

Comment by MXNavyWife110 on October 17, 2013 at 7:09pm: Thnks for the info Diannep. I don't plan to make that trip to visit his family unless I can't see him that day.
@21anne I did! I just haven't found the "right" ones yet! Our SRs will be in dress blues correct? Feel free to help me look for some and send me the link. Having a hard time finding time to do anything with hubs gone 24/7. He worked out of town before so I'm used to not talking to him as much, but it's been hard not hearing from him for days at a time and not seeng him on the weekends, not to mention it was better for my sanity! Lol

Comment by sweetshaye on October 17, 2013 at 7:02pm: Just checked out the Lovells website for Thanksgiving dinner. It has more info like pricing on the events page if you guys want to check it out :) http://www.lovellsoflakeforest.com/events
