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".

Navy Moms-- I'm posting this on all the pages I'm a part of.  A Navy mom on FB needs our help.  Her son is stationed in New Orleans. Due to the Shut Down he is largely alone since his base is mostly reservists.  I'm hoping to connect her with some Navy mom's in the New Orleans area.  Please message me and I'll pass on your info to her.

Thanks CatMom!

I want to thank everyone for their prayers when my grandson was so sick right before PIR.  We all got to attend PIR and boy was it spectacular.  Congratulations to everyone!!!  I hope all of you who were able to attend had a wonderful reunion with your Sailor.  

My grandson is doing ok.  The doctors switched his antibiotics because the cyst is growing.  If it does not shrink within the next few days they will have to drain it.  He will still have to have surgery in a few weeks so please pray for a positive outcome there!

Us moms certainly know our own babies, don't we?

Now keep on following them through the A school groups, C school groups, ratings (job) groups, state groups, regional groups, ship groups, base groups, twins/multiples, and the Christian Chat!  This is only the beginning!!
