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."

for
N4M'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"

Can we have some sort of notice when our SR get to call!! I missed it again! Seriously!! He called my cell phone when I'm sitting in the other room holding the home phone waiting for it to ring!! At least he left a message and I can play it over and over and over. I guess in the navy I'll call on Sunday can also mean or Saturday.

Just got a call from my SR. Ship 09 Div. 65. So beautiful to hear his voice, I must have thanked him for calling a dozen times. Since I missed his Thanksgiving call. I miss him soooo much, but am so proud. They are on day 1-4.

Just got a call from my hubby in div 66! I got 15 minutes to talk to him which was great since I missed his call last week. Anyone else in 66 be looking out for a call!

I got a phone call! My daughter is on shipb14 div 62. She sounded great and said everything was going well! It was a great way to start my morning. The call was brief but that was all I needed to hear, she seemed happy.

My son said most of the guys he trained with are in 806 with him.  I think that must help with feeling connected.

Hello All!

     "Let your eyes look straight ahead,

      fix your gaze directly before you.

      Make level paths for your feet and

      take only ways that are firm."

My son called this morning.  First call since the night he arrived.  It was great to hear his voice.  He too has a cold, but is starting to feel better.  He is in division 806.   Hope you all get calls too!

Comment by diannep on December 7, 2013 at 3:45pm

jmf:  I believe that they are talking about the rooms with the "kitchenette."  You could ask them how complete they are.  Here's the link to the Great Lakes Navy Lodge:

Residence Inn has kitchens.  We stayed there and enjoyed it.
