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."

~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 AZNavyMom on December 28, 2012 at 7:47pm: Diannep - would you please send me a message also with the date you were told for div 49?

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2012 at 7:47pm: Just to be clear re: CO-TwinSalorsMom's post below....049/050 have not BattleStations yet. Next week for them.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2012 at 7:45pm: Pam: Just sent you a message with the date I was told for your group.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2012 at 7:44pm: Yes, I know for a fact. They go in numerical order...except for 800 and 900 divisions. Only 4 can go a night (but less can go). Since 045-048 went last night, then those are the only ones who went. They won't start up again for a few days.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2012 at 7:41pm: Pam: Everyone posting on this page is from PIR 01/04. Each PIR group has it's own separate page. This PIR group contains all of the divisions listed at the top of the page.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2012 at 7:39pm: Ladies, remember....we cannot post BattleStations dates on this page until after the fact. I showed the 045-048 went last night. The rest will go next week. If you posted a future date for BattleStations below, please click on the "x" in the box and delete it. Thanks!

Congrats to the new sailors of 045-048!
