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 shw92 (Ship 14, Div 103) on March 2, 2014 at 8:38pm: Thanks EyeoftheTiger, I will check that out. :)

Comment by EyeoftheTiger on March 2, 2014 at 8:08pm: Yes, I noticed this group was a bit quiet for a weekend. FRI, there's some news and notes about PLACES to EAT
near the base and generally in the area here, connected with the "A" school (comment thread is for people staying at Great Lakes after PIR)

Comment by CatMom509 on March 2, 2014 at 6:10pm: Blessed Day!!

     "And I pray that you being rooted and

      established in love, may have power,

      together with all the saints, to grasp how wide

      and long and high and deep is the Love of Christ,

      and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--

      that you may be filled to the measure of

      all the fullness of God."

                                          Ephesians 3:17b-19

Comment by shw92 (Ship 14, Div 103) on March 2, 2014 at 4:52pm: Thanks diannep. I did Google, and saw some good reviews for one place. Just wanted to see if anyone who's been there had a recommendation. I appreciate your time!

Comment by diannep on March 2, 2014 at 2:31pm: Here are the pizza links:

Comment by diannep on March 2, 2014 at 9:21am: 2 places mentioned for pizza:

Silo

Giordanos

Google them!

Good Morning All!

Comment by shw92 (Ship 14, Div 103) on March 2, 2014 at 2:46am: What is the best place to get pizza near the base? Knowing my SR, pizza is going to be at the TOP of his wish list! After hugging his momma, of course! Ha ha.

Also, we are thinking of taking the Hop on, Hop off trolley tour in Chicago. Probably not with our SR :( Unless he ships out later than expected. We were wondering though, if there would be enough to do if it's as COLD as it has been. They are having a winter special through March. Still, it won't be a good deal if there's nothing to enjoy because of the weather. Anyone have any experience with this tour? Is it worth it in the winter? Thanks!!

Comment by diannep on March 1, 2014 at 9:15pm: Uh oh....no one "home" today in this group.... :-(

Comment by CatMom509 on March 1, 2014 at 11:29am: Good Morning!

     "Open my eyes, that I may see

       wondrous things from Your law."

Comment by diannep on March 1, 2014 at 10:47am: ArmHawkmamma: It might be best to call them directly and ask. If you do, please post what you find out for others to read!
