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 Wink's Mom on November 1, 2015 at 11:58pm: This is really neat...all things PIR 12/11/15.

Comment by KarenLynn on November 1, 2015 at 10:09pm: 41- Just got my phone call from my son. He is doing well. He is eating a lot and busy all day long. He sounds so good and was laughing at me because I was so happy to talk with him. I said it felt like 2 years, not 2 weeks. Today was the first day he was able to send letters out. He sounds so healthy and happy.

Comment by Navymom#5 on November 1, 2015 at 10:01pm: Got my call at 400 she was crying too but she loves it and can't wait to see me..... so happy

Comment by Cristina on November 1, 2015 at 9:58pm: We received two calls from our son at Ship 14 Div 035. We missed the one on wednesday, but he left messages. He called again on Friday and we could not hear him, so we spoke into the phone saying "call the land line" (home). He heard us and called our home phone and we could hear him. I am not sure why we could not hear him from the cell phones but we could from the land line. We sent him a calling card.

Comment by Beth on November 1, 2015 at 9:38pm: Sorry for all the mistakes. Need my glasses at all times. What I meant to say was she said some of her friends there said that I am talking with some of their moms on the blog.

Comment by Beth on November 1, 2015 at 9:19pm: Division 905 just got a call from my daughter my first call! She could only talk for a few minutes connection was a little bad. She was crying because she said she misses me but she said it was her first time that she cried. She said they made her cut her beautiful long hair off and she had to dye it because they didn't like the highlights thatwere in it. And it made her hair turned orange. She says it's stressful but that she's met some nice friend she said that I was talking to some of them on the blogI don't know how she knows that she told me last names I can't remember them though. So some of you moms are kids are friends with my daughter. She also said she did write us. And please keep the letters coming.
