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."

for
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".

Update- for anyone who is still here and checks... I got my I'm a Sailor call finally!  It was amazing.  Pir 9/4 was incredible- the moment of a lifetime!  Hooyah Sea Sisters!

Hi Everyone. It's Liz's mom   Two years ago, we were all preparing to send our kids to RTC.  It's funny how time flies.  I wish some of you were still here... aaaaahhhhhhh.  Anyway my Son leaves for RTC on July 8th.  Hoping to finally get a I'm a Sailor call... Hugs to all of you!

I just emailed her DD214 to her recruiting station.  I am hoping the waiver process will be painless and easy... Fingers Crossed!  I am super excited!

Comment by Steph Proud AG Mom on September 26, 2013 at 3:56pm

Hi Everyone!  She's been home for 3 months as of October 3.  We have officially called the recruiter to try and start her re enlistment.  We had x-rays and an MRI done, and nothing showed up.  She is now able to walk, and run a little with no pain.  I am excited about this second journey of hers.  My Son is wavering between the Navy and the Army.  We start his journey this time next year.  I hope and pray all is well with your Sailors and Families!  God Bless, and Fair Winds and Following Seas!

I found out that my daughter is in class 1334A, so let me know if you have sons/daughters in class 1334.  :)

Comment by Coach Shelia on July 10, 2013 at 8:04pm
Hello everyone! Sending many many many Blessings to you and your Sailor today and forever! Can't believe it has been 2 months since PIR 5/10/13!
Comment by Janie (Navy Reserve recruit mom) on July 7, 2013 at 10:00pm

Not only did I actually have some FB communication from my daughter yesterday, but she also actually called me today.  Thanks to all who have been aware of our situation and have kept us in your prayers.  More are certainly welcome, I think it will take time to heal from all we've been through but this is a huge, huge step for her.
