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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 26, 2012 at 1:28pm: NavyMomTina, I am sure they have. The divisions normally start training in order. So the division numbers will begin training before the others. All the divisions for this PIR will most likely start training this week. Congrats on your call SailorV's Wife :)

Comment by Navygirlmom on November 26, 2012 at 1:27pm: Yay!! My daughter just called... Just hearing her voice has made me feel so much better. I have to send her a few things but she is doing well & says everything going ok. She sounded congested I'm sure from the weather change from Tx to Ill. So excited & so thankful! Just wanted to share.

Comment by karens (alumni ship 13-Div 366) on November 26, 2012 at 1:27pm: WOW! PHONE CALLS ARE COMING! How exciting for all of you! Your doing great, Moms, Hang in there, You and your SR's are in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by NavyMomTina (Ship 11 Div 058) on November 26, 2012 at 1:16pm: Wow...that is so wonderful SailorV'sWife. I cannot wait for my son to call. He is in Div 58 so I wonder if they have been on P-Hold too?

Comment by SailorV'sWife on November 26, 2012 at 1:08pm: Best surprise ever! I got a call! He needs me to send a copy of his birth certificate...but we got to talk for 3min! Who knew 3min could make such a difference. haha! He said he's got letters on the way and that today is DOT 1:1 - they've been on p-days/hold all this time. So all of you with SRs in Div 053 and 054, we can now follow along in the day-by-day guide. :D
