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."

Comment by diannep on October 19, 2010 at 7:52am: I agree totally with Jessica about what is posted on here being read. Please be very neutral in your posts and don't give too many specifics. Private message is a better tool to use if you need to express more specific info. Recently on some sites, I have seen a couple of last names "slip" in. A huge no no. Personally, I don't even think first names should be used....but I know some like to do that. My son was referred to in my posts just like that..."my son." And, remember...N4M's is a public site...just google something about Navy boot camp and watch all of the posts that come up. So post with care!

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 19, 2010 at 7:00am: I saw a post on the bootcamp group from a mom who's recruit just PIRd and she said some of the recruits said they though they were being punished for things that were being posted on N4Ms. Do you think they really look at this? That just seems strange to me.

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 19, 2010 at 6:55am: thanks jess for the youtube video of BS21. I sure hope they all pass...it looks kinda scarry.

Comment by cakemom on October 19, 2010 at 3:26am: Did you get your box yet? It seems like my daughter was in hold for awhile-when did your girl arrive in bc? Mine got there on the 6th-

Comment by Navy-avimom on October 19, 2010 at 3:23am: Hi cakemom, my daugther is also.

Comment by cakemom on October 19, 2010 at 3:11am: Hi Pam, just saw your post. Seemed like they were in hold for a long time!

Comment by cakemom on October 19, 2010 at 3:10am: Just got my form letter, I was hoping my daughter was in PIR 12/3 since this group has some great people in it! She is Ship 03, Division 18-anybody else in there?

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 18, 2010 at 9:21pm: NukeMom - there are actually MANY NukeMom users names LOL! I think the other one updated her user name with her son's ship and div number though so that she was easier to find!!

Comment by sandy Ship3 Div 17 on October 18, 2010 at 9:18pm: I got the form letter today. Ryan said everything was going good, learning how to fold and doesn't like the showers. LOL! It was so good to get it!! I am doing the Happy Dance too!!

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 18, 2010 at 9:06pm: I guess there are two NukeMoms! Concerned me at first, thought I had posted receiving letters! Maybe. I will change to just "Stacy". :-) but yeah! Can't wait to start getting letters!
