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 bear123 on October 23, 2015 at 7:15pm: Hello again everyone! I received the form letter Monday morning. I have been reading that some of y'all received the personal letter already. I'm still waiting on mine . Does anyone know when I should be getting mine? I've been stalking my mail man haha . Just miss my husband terribly ,it's been one of those days .

Comment by SailorMom:) on October 23, 2015 at 6:52pm: I received a letter today :) still waiting on the form letter

Comment by SailorMom:) on October 23, 2015 at 12:09pm: Hello ellen0502. Thank you for all the information

Comment by SailorMom:) on October 23, 2015 at 10:40am: Luvmysailor, i am glad it has gotten better. It is definitely something completely new to them. I can imagine that it takes time to adjust. I hope that they are bonding as a diviasion and encouraging each other. I very hopeful of getting a letter today. My son does not like writing. I sent him a questionaire so he can answer all my questions. Has he made any friends?

Comment by ellen0502 on October 23, 2015 at 10:30am: Good Morning!

Comment by Luvmysailor on October 23, 2015 at 10:26am: SailorMom:) He said that he absolutely hated P-days and that they had to wear the PT shorts and shirt for the whole 5 days and that the immediate yelling and screaming was "quite a wake up call" but it's getting better now, they have had to a lot of PT.. He was in good spirits.. Hopefully yours is too!

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2015 at 9:52am: I would think that all divisions will be able to write personal letters as of this Sunday. Some already are but hopefully all are by this Sunday. They will always get to mail out on Monday (collected on Sunday) and will then receive mail M-F.

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2015 at 9:48am: Elizabeth: Here is a sample of the form letter:

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2015 at 9:46am: Elizabeth: Yes, it is ok to use the address in your SR's personal letter to write to him. Maybe the form letter is lost or just taking a while to get to you? The letter you received WAS a personal letter, right?

Good Morning!

Comment by SailorMom:) on October 23, 2015 at 6:22am: Luvmysailor i am very hopeful now that you told me you received a letter. Anxiously waiting for mine. What has your son said about his experience so far? Thank you!
