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 fiji4islands on April 27, 2015 at 2:31pm: We received letters and a phone call this weekend:) Call was short but sweet. Made my day! He is loosing his voice from all the yelling. I'm so proud of him! Cant wait to hug him:)

Comment by ⚓ darsatm ⚓ on April 27, 2015 at 2:28pm: Vinage this link might help answer ur question:http://navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms/page/liberty-during-pir-w...

If you have others in your group who are not on the Access List who make the trip to GL, they should wait at the hotel and meet up later at a place away from the RTC--at a restaurant or at the hotel.

Comment by VintageCK on April 27, 2015 at 1:33pm: I think this question may have come up already but couldn't find anything. Is there someplace on the base that family members without a ticket can go to wait until the graduation is over? Not expecting there to be a place to watch on a screen or anything like that, simply just a lounge or someplace they could wait so they don't have to sit in the hotel.

Comment by Asailorsmom on April 27, 2015 at 10:51am: Good Morning! We heard from our SR last night. I'm so glad because he definitely sounded so much better. My husband and I were a little worried after last weeks call. He said he passed the first test so I think that has helped with his confidence. He had also heard a rumor that we may be getting one more call this Tuesday, then nothing until the "I'm a Sailor" call. We'll see. At least I can look forward to the weekly letter. 31 more days!!

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2015 at 7:35am: It gets better, tooryeaye! You will treasure those calls and look forward to your "letter day" each week!

Good Morning!

Comment by Michelle on April 27, 2015 at 6:25am: Good morning, My SR stated the last names not hometowns. But it is worth a private message, to connect. the last names begin with. H then a J then a G. if anybody just send me a private message.

Comment by diannep on April 26, 2015 at 11:31pm: tooryeaye: There is no rhyme or reason for the phone calls....when they come or how long they are. So just be ready at anytime and be thankful for whatever time you get, because there are always some in a PIR group who are not hearing from their SRs much at all....some may go weeks without a phone call. Hopefully the next call will be longer!

Comment by diannep on April 26, 2015 at 11:29pm: Michelle: You can post initials of the SRs and hometowns. If someone on here feels you are talking about their SR, they can friend request/private message you and share the info there.

Comment by Michelle on April 26, 2015 at 8:47pm: @taylor98 sent message

Comment by Taylorb98 on April 26, 2015 at 8:26pm: Michelle- really interested in seeing if our recruits are becoming friends! So cool to know that our SRs are in the div. Really can't wait to meet everyone at graduation! 33 days until take off to Great Lakes!
