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"

Comment by DHDNavyMom on August 30, 2015 at 10:40am: Yeah ladies, we are officially in the "30's" for our countdown!!! It's all downhill from here!!

Thanks Trace68, it really boosted by spirits that's for sure!

Hoping and praying more moms get calls today!!

Comment by Trace68 on August 30, 2015 at 7:17am: So happy for you DHDNavy Mom! And everyone who got a call.

Comment by Josh Mom 2015 on August 29, 2015 at 10:51pm: I was wondering about how they purchase things at NEX work. Josh will use it to buy hygiene stuff and maybe some stamps but no way would he splurge on a calling card. This is a kid that saved almost every penny of his checks when he worked during high school. I really hope they get to make phone calls tomorrow. If anyone with a SR in div 340 gets one can you ask what training day they just finished. Would love to know.

Comment by Samsmom on August 29, 2015 at 10:25pm: They can buy calling cards at the NEX with the $150 NEX card they got to buy hygiene stuff etc.

Comment by tmazziotti on August 29, 2015 at 9:39pm: I was hoping he would get his hands on one to call today. He said in his letter to expect a call today but no call yet. I put his cards in the mail but he wouldn't have them yet

Comment by Curlyq on August 29, 2015 at 8:25pm: No call from Div 338 either :(

Comment by Josh Mom 2015 on August 29, 2015 at 8:17pm: Mine doesn't have phone cards either tmazziotti. I mailed him one this weekend. I don't think mine would have the gumption to buy one either. Lol

Comment by diannep on August 29, 2015 at 8:12pm: Ooops, tmazziotti.....just mail them back! Maybe someone will lend him their card.

Comment by tmazziotti on August 29, 2015 at 5:13pm: My son accidently sent his calling cards home in the box. I hope he gets to call today! I can't wait to hear his voice
