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 bdmom64 on December 19, 2015 at 11:12am: No letter here either. I wonder what hppened.

Comment by diannep on December 19, 2015 at 10:00am: Beachmomblue: And if he cannot use it on base in A School, he for sure can use it when he phases up and can leave the base and venture into the community where his A School is.

Good Morning All !

Comment by Leanna on December 19, 2015 at 1:14am: Beachmom, we didn't receive a letter either :(

Comment by nurserenee on December 19, 2015 at 1:12am: No letter this week either

Comment by Beachmomblue on December 19, 2015 at 1:07am: Diannep I needed to hear that.

Comment by Beachmomblue on December 19, 2015 at 1:06am: Didn't get letters this week. I wonder why

Comment by diannep on December 19, 2015 at 1:01am: Beachmomblue: I'm sure the card will be ok. If he can't use it there, he will be able to use it at A School at some point.

Comment by ellen0502 on December 19, 2015 at 12:05am: For push divisions you can still count the weeks and days of training, but forget what you read about when they are doing things. If the day by day schedule says they are doing jumping jacks on week 4 day 2, they may have done them on week 3 day 5, or not do them until week 4 day 5.

As for battlestations, yes it is usually on week 6 day 5, but...PUSH means just that. They may have finished all of their training goals by week 6 day 2, and surprise BS that night.

My sons BS was on week 6 day 3 (if I remember correctly), He arrived and was put in the last division for the previous weeks TG. His division and brother division then waited for 60 females to arrive 16 calendar days later before training started (stupid girls LOL). They actually started training the same day as the next PIRs first two divisions.

Again, throw out the day by day, it will probably never match up, if your SRs division is PUSH, it will only confuse you and make your brain hurt...it did mine. :)

Just look forward to BS, your "I am a Sailor" call, and PIR, it will all come on time regardless of what or how you are counting!!!!

Comment by Beachmom on December 18, 2015 at 7:13pm: Got a letter from my son today, he sounds fantastic. I can't wait to see him. He was offered an opportunity to join the Honor Guard. After discussing with his Chief and an RDC he says is more a mentor to him he had to pass as it would affect his Nuke school too much but he felt it a great honor.

Comment by Boms_wife on December 18, 2015 at 5:38pm: mamak, it depends on the division. I know that for Div 47 and 48, they are on 5-4 today. 6-1 for them doesn't start until Tuesday, the 22nd.
