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."

CLICK MEforN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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 LI mom on December 20, 2012 at 12:55pm: Just hold on it's almost here Tiff. You'll be back with him soon<3 ((( hugs )))

Comment by Tiff(Ship 11 Div 057) on December 20, 2012 at 12:45pm: I know I bet he is. He said he shows off his pictures to everybody as well. So I know he is one proud dad that's for sure.

Comment by LI mom on December 20, 2012 at 12:31pm: Goodmorning!!!! Praying that everyone has a fantastic day.Tiff it's awesome that your little one has learned to say merry Christmas to his daddy i bet that made his Christmas and he's bragging about it right now :)

Comment by Tiff(Ship 11 Div 057) on December 20, 2012 at 11:10am: I just got another letter today from my husband he sounded really good. He told me that we are going to be able to move with him for A school which makes me very happy!! He said when he hung up the phone last week he cried and had to go talk to his bunk mate because before we hung up my 2 year old had just learned how to say Merry Christmas and he told him Merry Christmas love you dad, i knew he got choked up because he hung up so quickly after that. Also said he was told he might be on the adopt a sailor program. Do you know when he will find out for sure or does he already know but sent the letters out before he found out?? I really hope he does get to leave that way he can call home and talk to us so please fingers crossed everyone!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 20, 2012 at 10:45am: It is sad and they need to fix it everywhere. When families are misinformed it can cause someone who is on the list to miss PIR because they can't leave a child alone in a hotel. That would be devastating to spend all that money to fly there and then not get to see PIR. :(

Comment by diannep on December 20, 2012 at 9:07am: Good Morning Everyone!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 20, 2012 at 5:03am: BTsmom's Merry Christmas to her PIR Group:

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 20, 2012 at 5:03am: The problem is too that RTC FB and the official website still have the old Policy in a few spots on their pages...whch conflicts with the new info.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 20, 2012 at 5:02am: flutterfly - This sucks, but no there isn't anywhere for those not on the Access List to wait on Base.

:-( I hope it works out for you dear.

Comment by flutterflyship2devision909 on December 20, 2012 at 12:35am: Also when we reread the paper work.. They had the old rule scratched out partialy. I think that we were reading it fast .
