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."

Changed my name to NYSailor. Fits nice with my current situation of maybe going back in the Navy. Don't know what the future holds. But besides all that I hope you all had a great weekend. Blessings to you and all our family & friends. And love to everyone on the ship. We're all one family here, God Bless.

Hi N4M Members,
Just wanted to remind you all that it is VERY important that we follow OPSEC and remember that when in doubt, LESS is better. If you see any red flags, please send a personal message to us and we (Colleen and Elizabeth) will review it.
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. If you scan in a picture of an article that contains your Sailor’s last name, make sure to black it out first. If it is an online Navy article or news article that you are reposting, do not publicly identify the mentioned Sailor as your son or daughter.
• No Sailor addresses, emails, or other contact information. The exception to this rule is FPO addresses.
• Specific dates, times, and locations regarding current or future deployments and ship movements. Do not post dates more specific than by month. Do not post specific ports of call, deployment bases, or future destinations.
• Details regarding training, equipment, and current or future operations or missions. (But Boot Camp is okay.)
• Names or numbers of the Recruit Training Command staff.
• Ways to cheat the system. Navy will see it as a breach of security when you share things like how to bend the rules. We don’t want to jeopardize the safety of our Sailors.
INCORRECT:
My Sailor is in XYZ unit and is stationed at ABC camp in XXX city in Iraq.
My daughter is aboard the XYZ ship heading to ABC city/country in X days.
They will be coming back on X date from XXX city.
CORRECT:
My Sailor is deployed in Iraq.
My son is aboard the Stennis.
They will be coming back sometime in May.

Hi, Jordan's Mom. I'm not sure which pix you are looking at, but I really like the www.navy.mil website. Click on "multimedia" then "photo gallery". Once in the photo gallery, you can type USS Harry S Truman in the search bar. It usually brings up the most recent first. FB does have a USS Harry S Truman page, too, and they post pix there. I hope this helps. I haven't found the CO comments yet, so if you do, please let me know where and how. Thanks.

Yes, they can get mail on the ship, but my son still has not received the package I sent him. Does anyone know about how long it takes? This was a very small, mailing envelope package.
