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 Cortsmom3 on August 29, 2015 at 11:13am: That would be wonderful! I also have free time now, and I'm sure the mailman is thinking the same thing:) of course I will email you shortly so I can give you my number. Thank you so much for listening and responding, you truly put me at ease:)

Comment by Cortsmom3 on August 29, 2015 at 10:59am: It's ok, I'm going over what I'm writing and thinking the same thing about what I'm writing:) really?! Woodlands? I live in Pasadena, I love going out to the woodlands mall. Of course that would be nice to meet at graduation. I truly am grateful for this group and site I would be so lost, I've learned so much and am constantly reading new things and learning more & more. I'm keeping positive and praying day & night, I knew it would be hard for him in the beginning I guess it's just that I want to save him from everything and when you have no control and finally they have to be on their own it's heart breaking.

Comment by Cortsmom3 on August 29, 2015 at 10:43am: He's my baby as well, although I'm proud of him too! I'm completely lost and feel so sad. The letter broke my heart, he said that it was hard and he was homesick but, that he joined the Navy with a purpose and he is determined. I live in Texas as well but, we are from Colorado. So, if your baby in Div 336 they are in the brother Div, right? (335/336)

Comment by Cortsmom3 on August 29, 2015 at 10:34am: Ok, thank you Ester..... That puts my mind at ease. My letter was short as well but, I was so happy to hear from him. I think my mailman is probably thinking that I'm going crazy, I've just been stalking him.

Comment by Cortsmom3 on August 29, 2015 at 10:26am: I'm kind of confused, my son left for BC on Aug.11, he's in Ship 13 DIV 335. I received his box about 4 days after arriving at BC and received a personal letter from him 2 days ago but, have not received THE LETTER with all the info is this common to have not received it as of yet? In the letter my son wrote to him he gave me his PIR date and also mentioned that by the time I receive the letter he would have already called me but, no call. I'm so sad and bummed:( can someone please let me know if I'm the only one who hasn't received the LETTER?

Comment by diannep on August 29, 2015 at 9:50am: Good Morning! Have a great weekend!

Comment by CatMom509 on August 28, 2015 at 5:40pm: Happy Friday!

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2015 at 7:13am: Welcome back, ellen! Were you having N4Moms withdrawals? We missed you. Glad you are back here, but wondering WHY you are up at 4 a.m.??? Get some rest!

Good Morning All !

Comment by ellen0502 on August 28, 2015 at 5:14am: AngieL, We recommend you stop sending letters the Fri or Sat before PIR. They do receive mail PIR week, but we have heard it can be spotty on days. No mail on Friday, might not be mail the day of BS or the day after, but definitely not on Fri of PIR.

They will try and forward mail to your recruits A School, but is is not always possible with the volume of mail received each day, looking up forwarding address (if the RTC even has them), changing orders etc. A certain amount is returned to sender each week just because of volume.

Take a copy of the last letters you send and if your Sailor hasn't received them by PIR you can hand them a copy!!
