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."

forN4M'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".

Does anyone know how we will know which section our sailors will be standing for PIR? id hate to find a spot and realize our sailor is way on the other side.

Comment by M's Mom on January 8, 2014 at 3:50pm: Yay Christy! We are just getting ready to leave!

Comment by Christy on January 8, 2014 at 3:48pm: Just touched down! From the sky the highways appeared dry with cars moving right along

Comment by CatMom509 on January 8, 2014 at 2:38pm: CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families. Safe travels to Great Lakes. Have a fun time at Sarge's Meet & Greet! Enjoy that fabulous PIR!!

Remember that PIR is only the start of your Sailor's Navy journey. There are lots of other groups here including A school, C school, ships, bases, states, regional, twins/multiples, and the Christian Chat that I am a part of. Plenty to learn about and keep track of your beloved Sailors~~

Comment by Isabel on January 8, 2014 at 1:35pm: Hi everyone!!!!
I have a question for veterans or someone can help:
For hotel & flight purposes , I want to know if the sailors that be stay at A school GL will have a weekend liberty?. Because for some reason my sailor have to spend a week at GL station, but this is not his A school, he will travel next week. I want to have some answer, because maybe he can have the same schedule than the A school GL sailors. I want to clarify that he is a sailor, he is not in hold.
Somebody can help me as soon as possible, I am in the process..... Thanks

Comment by Proud mom of 2 sailors on January 8, 2014 at 12:34pm: To all my new friends. We leave tomorrow morning. Can't wait to meet you all tomorrow night. Congratulations to all the new sailors and their families. Happy trails.

Comment by M's Mom on January 8, 2014 at 12:13pm: Fly out today 12:30, flight status says ontime to ORD! Will feel more at ease when we actually take off. Travel safe everyone whether you are driving, flying or training. See you all in GL!

Comment by ellen0502 on January 8, 2014 at 12:12pm: Alice, If your son is in a room with sailors who have been there a while, they may already have internet in the room. If that's the case his roommates will let him use it, he will just help them pay for it.

If there is no internet in his room, he can get it installed. It is the same process on base as it is for home installation and payment.
