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."

for
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"

Thanks Belinda, not a lot to choose from right now in Florida for a coat. Worried about being there so early in the morning and having to wait outside to get in.

Comment by DylsMom on September 21, 2014 at 8:48am

Goodmorning =)

Comment by DylsMom on September 21, 2014 at 8:47am

55 degrees there this morning in Waukegan. Just wondering is it usually windy there also? Trying to figure what kind of coat I need . (coming from Florida)

Good Morning!  Have a wonderful Sunday!

For those of you looking for a special gift for your SR-soon-to-be-Sailor, I got a couple of these Challenge Coins for my Sailor daughter when she graduated PIR last year, please check out www.pirgifts.com. Challenge Coins are a military tradition.  Craig, who is one of the veterans on Navy for Moms, designed the ones that are connected to the ships at RTC.  The name of your SR's ship is right next to the ship number in the Discussion Forum.  When you click on one of the coins, you will be taken to a page where there is a video about Challenge Coins.  This would be a special gift especially connected to their Boot Camp days!  Another really sharp coin is the Core Value one--it has cut outs and a diamond cut beveled edge.  These coins are no longer given out by the Navy to the Sailors, so it is up to friends and famiily. My Sailor daughter thought her USS Hopper (Ship 03) coin was "cool."

FlowerPowerNavyMom,

Stick with patriotic stuff and the craft stores have Navy themed stickers in their scrapbooking sections~~  There is also scrapbooking papers that are Navy or appropriate for Navy. You can also hand-draw ships and airplanes and cut them out or print them out from your computer using colored ink or color them if you only have black ink.

Good afternoon ladies.  Well, I went to 2 stores and found very little Navy stuff at either. Very disappointed! Doesn't help I am not feeling very creative lately. So I found some stuff online that I hope I can do something with. Ladies care to share more ideas for door signs?

Comment by dianec on September 20, 2014 at 10:34am

diannep:  I was laughing out loud when I read your comment about getting stuck on the school line.  I am definitely packing a GPS and cell phone chargers for this trip.  I am planning on attending Sarge's meet and greet on 10/2.  Is anyone else going?  Would love to meet my fellow Navy Moms.
