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."

CLICK ME 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 your 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 robinbird1 on November 4, 2012 at 11:33am: Hi everyone. Just got my letter yesterday - HAPPY MOM HERE!!!! Question, I see some of you have not gotten your letter..... how did you find out your PIR date??? We are coming from Tucson... any Tucson/Arizona parents out there????

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 4, 2012 at 9:57am: Good morning everyone, I know it is so hard to be away from those we love for birthdays and holidays. I think have the party when you see them again is a great idea. We have to find ways to do things a little different and adapt the best we can. It is always hard to miss those special days but it is much easier when you can talk and skype with them. Smart phone and computers have made it much easier on military families for sure. Now you just have to get past this boot camp experience and it will be much better :-)

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2012 at 9:23am: Good Morning Ladies!

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on November 3, 2012 at 11:06pm: You must be soooo proud to have 2 sailors in the family...my fingers are crossed that you'll all be together in December...

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on November 3, 2012 at 10:22pm: Oh, your son is sooo young...I hope you hear in time for his special day!! We'll all be rushing the mailman on Monday :)

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on November 3, 2012 at 9:47pm: Btw my son was also bumped from the 30th to the 25 !!!

Comment by deniseMatt'smom on November 3, 2012 at 9:29pm: Nooooo letter again today :( my son called on Nov 1st but I missed it so he called his sister, just a quick call said he was doing ok and to expect a package ...we already received the "box" so I don't know what he meant by that...I'm hoping that all of us who haven't heard from our SR are in the same "ship" or division or what ever !! My son's birthday is tomorrow, I guess he won't be getting any cards...HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY MATT XOXOXO

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 3, 2012 at 9:24pm: erush89, his rate/job shouldn't cause any delay at all in PIR :-)

Everyone remember to turn your clocks back night. Mu hubby thought we would lose and hour. i just made his day by telling he we would gain an hour of sleep. I guess that show we are getting old when sleep is one of the true joys in life lol.

Comment by diannep on November 3, 2012 at 7:37pm: Zmansmom: Can't imagine that it would be 12/26. Surely they don't expect you all to fly out Christmas Day for PIR? I have a feeling that the 28th is the correct day. Time will tell! Someone else had reported that date too.

Comment by erush89 on November 3, 2012 at 7:23pm: I'm from Shreveport, LA. He has a special warfare contract for air rescue. I was wondering if that could somehow cause delays.
