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 herbgarden(Ship12Div085) on January 18, 2013 at 10:30am: Me too, please! Thank you!

Comment by Kristine (USS Tortuga) on January 18, 2013 at 10:13am: Good morning all! Would someone be able to direct me to the Facebook page for our PIR date? Thanks!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 18, 2013 at 10:12am: Diannep, now you are just rubbing it in lol. Ahhhhh the smell of sunscreen and cocoa butter :)

Comment by PatsFan923 HM Mom on January 18, 2013 at 10:00am: It is Friday, everyone! We are almost 13 days to PIR! Thanks Craig, that was a riot seeing that highway sign! Thanks for the laugh! Received a letter yesterday, which was inside the manila envelope I sent to him and he sent back quite a few of the letters, but is keeping some to re-read, even though I send him a letter each and every day. Passed PFA, Pesonal Inspection and Weapons and trying to study for the upcoming tests but they have been too busy to do so. He is looking forward to PIR - as they all are I am sure.

AND it is football on Sunday - GO PATS!

Comment by diannep on January 18, 2013 at 9:02am: Lala et.al. Your room is waiting! Bring swim suits! And sunscreen! :-)

Comment by diannep on January 18, 2013 at 9:01am: HAA, MSmom: Well, when it is ALA in the championship game, I have to say...I was rooting for them! But other than that......grrrrrrr! My sister in law went to Auburn; hubby went to ALA. Not a "pretty picture" in that household when they played each other!

Jodenne: Thanks for the date! Now, can you click on the "x" in the post box and remove? We aren't allowed to post BattleStations dates on here...just private message...but thanks! If anyone else has a BStations date from your SR, please friend request the info to me. Thanks!

Good Morning All!

Comment by herbgarden(Ship12Div085) on January 18, 2013 at 8:43am: Lol! Very funny, and true in my case!

Comment by jskmom/Linda on January 18, 2013 at 7:28am: Too funny Craig!

Comment by jillymom on January 18, 2013 at 6:37am: Oh, sure, Craig; I can only imagine what the Dad's sign would say. "Duck, everybody! The Dads are flying in for 2/1 PIR! "

Comment by MSmom on January 18, 2013 at 4:04am: @my3boys. I stayed at crosslands economy suites when my son graduated. Would not recommend it. Area it is in is industrial. Staff was great room was clean but could use a good update. Visited friends at spring hill suites. Would pay the small difference to stay there if I ever have to go back.
