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 Chelsea on November 20, 2015 at 1:13am: Dgharmony64 - My husband is in the same division! I hope we hear from them soon, whether by phone call or letter!

Comment by dgharmony64 on November 20, 2015 at 1:00am: Chelsea and plattecountymom

I guess I feel a little better that I wasn't the only one to get a yellow paper without a letter or short note. My daughter is in ship 02 div 908. I do miss her a lot, but I worry more about how she's doing emotionally.

Comment by ellen0502 on November 20, 2015 at 12:31am: Vicki, On the right side of this page is a clickable title in the "PAGES" column for the recruit petty officer positions. The "PAGES" are located on the right side of this page just under the member icons.

dgharmony, She doesn't need to do anything if you are not going to see her at that time. All recruits not adopted out for the day are taken to one of the local organizations for the day. Answer all your phone calls that day, your recruit will probably get to use a borrowed phone, and if you have skype stay close many have computers for the m to use.

Comment by Taylor_NavyWife on November 20, 2015 at 12:20am: I've noticed when people start getting a box of letter from our same group, I usually get it a day or 2 later. So maybe be will by Saturday Teresa! Haha

Comment by Taylor_NavyWife on November 20, 2015 at 12:19am: Yes me too! Love talking to people who are going through the same thing. Missing my husband like CRAZY. We just got married back in September. This week has been much better though. I love seeing how God works. Praying for y'all, and everyone else!

Can't wait to get a letter !

Comment by Tdr79 on November 20, 2015 at 12:12am: Yay! Just meeting you guys has made me feel better! I hope we get a letter next week!

Comment by swiffer on November 20, 2015 at 12:09am: Teresa and Taylor. Our son is with your guys!

Comment by Tdr79 on November 20, 2015 at 12:06am: Hi Leslie! Have you received a letter yet? We are in Texas so it has a ways to travel ( that's what I am telling myself anyways)

Comment by Taylor_NavyWife on November 20, 2015 at 12:02am: Teresa, my husband is with your son :)

Comment by Tdr79 on November 19, 2015 at 11:56pm: Hello Ladies! I am so glad I found this group. I am still having a hard time with my son being gone. The only mail we have received from him is "the box" and the letter telling us when graduation is. He is in Div 907 ship 02. Anyone else have a loved one in that group?
