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".

Hello to all, I believe this is when my son graduates (according to recruiter).  I love the countdown clock, so helpful.  My son is the youngest of my 3 and now I have an empty nest.  Can't wait to make new friends on here.

Thank you, but I'm still confused on how my SR is to pay for my order?

Division T-Shirts and Recruit Photos:

Sarges info is not quite complete. :-) Rather than giving you a long post I am going to paste the link to one from Boot Camp Moms that explains it all:

Division T-Shirts, Graduation Photos, The Keel, and DVD of PIR

I can't wait for graduation!  I love the clock winding down the days.  My son left for boot camp July 30th.  Only received the "Mom I'll call you in 3 weeks" call.  This forum and others are helping me deal with him being away.  I thank you, & appreciate it.

Comment by NavyMom1727 on August 9, 2013 at 11:59am

Oh another thing for everyone. I forget how I found it, but if you send an email to

Callsforrecruits@gmail.com

Tell them you have a SR graduating 29 Sept & ask if they could please send you free calling card codes for you to send to your SR.

They responded quickly. They sent 8, I sent them to my SR today & told him to share. Each code is good for 1 call up to 20 minutes

Comment by NavyMom1727 on August 9, 2013 at 11:54am

Veteran Moms.....can any of you tell me how much the div flag t-shirts are & where I can find info on the pic packages? Sarge said to send my order to my SR & he places the order, but I'd like to know prices & stuff. Sarge also said my SR will have to pay do do I send him money? How does this all work? I don't want my SR to have to worry about placing orders, he has more important things to take care of while he's there.

Oh I'm so confused :(

Hello all I am a veteran-mom and I now have a friend's (more like a sister) son who will graduate with this group. My son graduated from bootcamp, A-school and will soon graduate from submarine school.  This is a time  of great sentiment especially if it's your first child to serve.  This page is a great tool, comfort and useful resource. To all  new moms, returning moms, wives, girlfriends welcome.

Good Morning!!  49 days to go ( 7 Fridays )

Comment by diannep on August 9, 2013 at 8:36am

Suzbee:  Are you addressing the "extra letter" to your SR, but using the star to tell her that it is for the other person who is not receiving mail?  In that case, I don't believe the star notation will be a problem.

Good Morning All !

Comment by Suzbee on August 9, 2013 at 1:36am
Also- THANK YOU for all the great information!
