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"

Well...unfortunately my son will not be graduating with his division. The powers that be decided that they are going to try and separate him...due to his allergy. So utterly livid. Only two weeks left and this! Ugh! They just moved him to ship 5 on Tues. He even got expert marksmanship for the 9m during hell week.This is just absolutely crazy! Anyway good luck to everyone. I will be leaving the group.

KarenLynn:  No gate pass needed if you take the shuttle.  But...if your sailor is returning to RTC though that night, you can use the gate pass to drive on base with him/her.  I would take it with you just in case....

Comment by KarenLynn on November 27, 2015 at 11:55am
I just want to verify I'll still need my gate pass even if I'm using Sarge's shuttle service. I got to talk to my SR twice yesterday. He sounded so good. He was so respectful and really listened to what I had to say. He isn't quite the same kid that left in October, he seems better. He's more confident and secure. I have a feeling I'm going to need to do some major emotional prep before PIR so I don't break down into a blubbering mess.

Morning all,  No I didn't get to see my SR yesterday but did get 2 phone calls from him :) good talks he sounds good as well as the church that took him in were very nice (diannep is ther a way I can find out what church that was so I can send Thank you note)

My son did throw me for a loop he broke up with his girlfriend he been with over a year 2 month before leaving for boot camp at the time he played it off as they grew apart "I thought more to it" he called he yesterday as well he told me when he was talking to me he miss her and called it off because he know it would be hard 4 yr apart I agreed with him he made the right choice if there ment to be together she will wait hopefully he listed too me.

Loving a family member in the military is not easy at all I agree with you diannep deployment is a lot HARDER than this my brother was in Japan for 3 yr I didn't see him call yes, then did a 9 month in Afghanistan. Our job is to be there #1 cheerleader as well as pray ALOT.

Comment by diannep on November 27, 2015 at 9:39am

amanda:  I hope you had a great day with your SR....a bonus day!  No one said that being a military family is easy!  The deployments and long times away from home are hard....but we love that our SRs committed themselves to serve their country!  PIR will be here before you know it!

Good Morning!

If you click the title the video will open all the way in Youtube.

Unfortunately, the new format on N4M's cuts part of videos off when embedded into a Comment box :-(.
