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 Shellzstackz on October 30, 2015 at 8:32pm: Joni, my son is in same ship as yours. No call or letter yet either. Hoping to find info from anywhere?

Comment by Navymom65 (Kim) on October 30, 2015 at 7:26pm: Yay!! Got the adopt a Sailor form and a short note from my girl!!! Oh how good that makes this mama feel!!!

Comment by Joni on October 30, 2015 at 7:19pm: My son is in ship 6 div 40. Are there any others in this group? I haven't heard from him yet... no letter or call. Just the box and the form letter. Hoping all is going well for all of them!

Comment by Shellzstackz on October 30, 2015 at 6:20pm: How do we know if our SR is eligible for adopt a sailor?

Comment by ellen0502 on October 30, 2015 at 6:04pm: Facebook has absolutely nothing to do with the RTC (other than their page), nor does it have anything to do with the adopt-a-sailor.

The recruits that are eligible get the form for the adopt a Sailor and that includes all SRs in this TG and the prior one. Any SR that is not "adopted" is still treated to an off base dinner at one of the local sponsors. There are several local groups that do this every year.

Comment by mtg4life on October 30, 2015 at 5:27pm: Ok this may be a really crazy question...but I am going to ask... who is Sarge? I do not have Facebook does that mean my son will not be adopted :-(

Comment by KTP (Kim) on October 30, 2015 at 5:24pm: ncmom_Tasha are your on the FB page for your PIR ??? tha t is most likely where you can find adoption

i want to be able to gather all these boys and just take care of them, I wish i live in Great Lakes like Sarge

Comment by ncmom_tasha on October 30, 2015 at 5:21pm: I received a letter today with the Thanksgiving information. I need someone to please adopt my son because I will not be able to attend.

Comment by Shellzstackz on October 30, 2015 at 5:19pm: Anyones SR ship 06 div 40?

Comment by Knavy on October 30, 2015 at 5:18pm: ncmom_tasha It was mailed Monday and I received it Thursday. My SR said there has been no time to write. I'm wondering why I still haven't received the Thanksgiving mail...seems that would have gone out at the same time?
