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".

Try to get to one of the MeetandGreets tonight....Sarge's for the most helpful info! And...BE EARLY to RTC tomorrow...you won't regret it. You can take some breakfast in with you, snacks, whatever you like.

Comment by diannep on January 23, 2013 at 9:32pm: Congrats to 071/072/911's new sailors!

Lala, a beautiful picture if you don't realize the damage done inside :-(. It does look like an ice palace!

Christine: Ohare has their USO before security (where your sailor should be) so no problems getting to your sailor in the USO to get the gate pass for security. Midway has its USO past security so your sailor would need to meet you to get your gate pass in front of security. Your sailor just goes with you to the airlines counter, and with your ID, you can get the pass.

Comment by MOMMY B on January 23, 2013 at 9:19pm: I am so excited. Got my phone call this afternoon from our sailor. Can't wait to be there and see him and all the sailors in the PIR. It is going to be thrilling! I am just hoping that the weather permits. Pray for good traveling conditions!
