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."

Hi N4M admins, I am fairly new to this website, maybe a month or so now. I have learned a lot already. I have worked at nuclear power plants and in legal offices so I usually am careful what info I release. However, I am concerned after reading all the posts about OPSEC lately. If I have violated in any way, or come close to it, I hope you will tell me. I am still dealing with the massive amount of emails from N4Ms! I have changed my profile to say do not send me N4M emails, and I will manage my profile, and only friends can see my profile/pg and the one about blogs I put not one but me can see it. My last name is not the same as my son's, nor is it maiden name, etc. but I guess it could still be tracked by these professional hackers so I have Betty F. But, N4Ms requires our last name when we join. I think it said it would not be viewed by the public but would like to double check that??? And, I have no speakers on my PC, they are broken so I cannot hear what you are saying on your N4Ms admins page. Is it wrong to say my son or daughter deployed last week or last month? Is it wrong to mention where they are based? And someone asked what his job was! I told them I didn't know if it was OK to say that on here. Someone said it is. Also, there has been advice about friending people we do not know personally. Well, I don't know any Navy moms, that is why I joined. How can I check to make sure it is safe to befriend them?

Delete these two individuals (Kayleigh & Gloria) from your friend list. Click on “My Page”, scroll down to your friends, click on the profile for these two people, click on Remove as Friend. In addition, Ruthie Appleby, is a self promoter. Not sure what KennethJohn's story is.

Note: I have notified the N4M admin. They are on the alert; however, I would hate to see any damage done before the plug is pulled on these two.
