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 GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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 diannep on September 9, 2015 at 11:38am: Congrats, Steph! That is so wonderful! On to A School! Thanks for posting that.

Leaving this group now.....blessings to all of your sailors!

Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on September 9, 2015 at 9:13am: Hi Everyone! I haven't been on since 8/31.. Hooyah! PIR is an amaxing experience. I finally have a Sailor!

Comment by DNavyFamily on September 8, 2015 at 2:51pm: I just want to say again how much we appreciate you all. PIR weekends was fantastic- even this being our third time after an 8 year gap. It was such an emotion-filled time- seeing all 864 sailors- it's a beautiful thing about our country. This site is the best of the best- out of any site for any purpose we've ever used. Best wishes to all the new sailors and their families- the journey continues.

Comment by fayegirrl4* on September 6, 2015 at 5:03pm: Our son flew out Saturday am, 7:25. We were with him from 1:30 am until he boarded his plane at 6:55 am. He too got bumped up to First Class. He arrived in Hartford, CT safely aroun 10:30 am. Then a bus ride to Groton.
Fabulous fast paced two days for PIR and back home now. Thank you all for everything. Looks like I'm no longer a boot camp mom until next July when our other son leaves.

Comment by Katesmom on September 6, 2015 at 3:38pm: My daughter had that Alanta layover as well last night said they got into their racks at 0400. She said she woke up not feeling well.

Comment by fremont123 on September 6, 2015 at 3:24pm: Becky. Sorry you weren't able to have that extra time during her layover. Congrats though for your sailor. Ours left for Pensacola today as well

Comment by Becky on September 6, 2015 at 3:18pm: My daughter left this morning for Pensacola. Didn't know she had a layover in Atlanta or I could have met her at the airport :( We had some extra time yesterday that we weren't expecting so low key was nice after our Chicago adventures!
