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 KYNavyMomma on October 14, 2015 at 11:40am: Momma8480- My husband, daughter, the GF and myself will be there...we are driving (about 6 hours) on Thursday afternoon- so definitely going to try to make the meet & greet.I found that Candlewood was cheaper than Holiday Inn and the others around. Wish we could stay at Navy Lodge, I'm sure that's where most families will be. We only get 6 hours or so with our Sailor also :( He flies out to Goose Creek. I do keep telling myself though that the cell phones will allow us to at least text and talk - which is 100 times better than the little bit of correspondence we get now. Like Diannep said - I'm sure we will see each other Friday morning, and there will be lots of families at the airport also.

Comment by TraG151 on October 14, 2015 at 9:58am: I can't make the meet and greet. :( I have to pick up his girlfriend from the airport.

Momma8480: You will be sitting in your division section at PIR with some of the ladies here! Get there early so you can meet some of them!

Good Morning All !

Comment by Tierney'smom on October 14, 2015 at 7:56am: Where can I find the "coin"? I looked on Amazon and didn't see it. I'm probably looking up the wrong thing.

Comment by Momma8480 on October 14, 2015 at 4:23am: Can't make the meet and greet :(. Flight gets in too late. Staying at candle wood suites. Thank you nukes & snipes as we are bringing his girlfriend also. Hope to run into some of my new mom friends face to face/ if anyone is in the same "boat" ;). Maybe we can post while we are there. (I will only get approx 6 hours w my sailor...). Thoughts???

Comment by diannep on October 13, 2015 at 11:10pm: Yes, pnt. It is a truly emotional time for the new sailors. But private between them and their RDCs/staff. Trading those Recruit caps for their Navy caps must be so rewarding for them.

Comment by pnt on October 13, 2015 at 11:08pm: I'm disappointed that the capping ceremony is something that we don't get to see.

Comment by TheRocksmom on October 13, 2015 at 11:05pm: Diannep and Catsmom you r very welcome, I am definitely decorating the door, mommacnavy I work with a girl who breeds boxers, they r awesome dogs, animals so intune. I also am stepping up the letter writing, I can't wait to meet everyone. This journey that has begun, I'm so proud at times I feel like this is a dream, Hopefully ones that have not come onboard, will recognize that they can't do it alone, its a team effort. My candle burns for all of them and my prayers include everyone here as well. It's humbling really when I think about it that our children did not choose the easy thing to do, at young ages they choose a path of integrity, honesty and to be honorable. This is the most I could ask of my son, I can't wait for PIR and to hang on my door "bravo Zulu" I am having faith that they remain strong and healthy over the next few weeks. And can only wish I could be a fly on the wall for the capping ceremony... Can you imagine how proud they will feel? Catsmom that's an awesome cake, also now I am a Chicago fan. Lol

Comment by CatMom509 on October 13, 2015 at 9:10pm: Happy 240th Birthday, United States Navy!!!

~~Ready Then, Ready Now, Ready Always~~

Comment by CatMom509 on October 13, 2015 at 8:34pm: Awww, TheRocksmom, that is really sweet of you to dedicate that scripture to diannep and me!! I remember posting that verse just last week too~~ ((HUGS))
