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 Tiff(Ship 11 Div 057) on November 27, 2012 at 11:27pm: Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons is she in boot camp right now?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 27, 2012 at 11:23pm: I made a tee shirt quilt out of the old tee shirts my Sailor left at home when she joined the Navy. I mailed it to her today. Saturday is her 23rd birthday. I hate missing her birthday but I bet she is going to love this present :)

Comment by SHIP 14 DIV.056/Mom/Cristy on November 27, 2012 at 10:49pm: Me to momto4.....

Comment by momto4 on November 27, 2012 at 10:30pm: Ship 14 DIV 056 MOM I have not gotten a call yet either. I am praying they let them call on a weekend since I am away from home at work monday to friday. My son is in the same division as yours. :)

Comment by momto4 on November 27, 2012 at 10:28pm: Melissa I am sorry to hear that. I have heard of a couple others being sent home for migraines.

Comment by Tiff(Ship 11 Div 057) on November 27, 2012 at 10:27pm: Ladies that are spouse to someone in BC right now does anyone know when i will get paperwork saying when and where to get my id made and our insurance stuff?? Im stressed tonight because i was going to buy my airline ticket and my mil and fil now have said they maybe not be able to go with me for medical reasons and wont be able to let me know anything for another week. So if i could safe some money on my flight i would love that because they just keep going up and up.

Comment by Navymomkathy on November 27, 2012 at 9:49pm: Melissa I know that was hard news to get. Just support him & help him figure out what he wants to do now.

Comment by Navymomkathy on November 27, 2012 at 9:46pm: Diannep - Thanks for the info on liberty after PIR. I dont think he knows yet if he is staying in GL. Hopefully he will tell me next time he writes or calls. At least now I have some idea of what to expect.

Comment by Bella7177 on November 27, 2012 at 9:41pm: Oh, Melissa! I'm so sorry. Sarah is the same way...made the decision to join when she was 12, and has been planning for it ever since! I don't know how she would handle it If she didn't make it through! Remind him that sometimes plans have to be readjusted, but it just leads in a new direction.

Comment by Melissa (ship 5 SEP) on November 27, 2012 at 9:26pm: When he made the decision to go into the Navy I was proud and anxious. When he left i was sad and cried often out of missing him but have always know this is what he wanted and supported 100%. Got a call today and it wasn't the good kind. He's being discharged due to migraine headaches. My heart aches now more than it ever did before. This is his life and everything he ever wanted. Don't know how to support him or comfort him. Coming home was the very last thing I ever wanted for him. Worry about sever depression when he comes home. Military has always been his future. Sooooo don't know how what do.
