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."

N4M'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 diannep on February 11, 2015 at 9:41pm: You are welcome, Zoo Mom~

Comment by diannep on February 11, 2015 at 9:41pm: Proud Mom: You can fly into OHare, Midway, or Milwaukee. If you use Southwest Airlines, where there is no change fee should your SR be delayed for any reason, and 2 bags check for free.....they fly into to Milwaukee WI (45 min drive to GL, no traffic, cheaper car rental) and Chicago-Midway (hour+ to GL). It is more economical for you to rent a car if you can. Southwest in the past has offered a discount code for car rental if you book your flights with them. The taxis/shuttles can add up. It really is not too difficult to get around there.

If your sailors will be flying out, just keep in mind that if you plan to wait with him/her at the airport, they usually fly out of Midway or OHare. You should try and stay until Sunday if you can in case your sailor doesn't fly out Sat. (the normal day) but maybe won't until Sun.

Comment by Proud Mom on February 11, 2015 at 9:08pm: I'm ready to make my flight reservations dont know which airport is best to fly into. . . or whether to rent a car or take taxi's. . . too many unknowns not knowing the area! Anyone out there with some advice?

Comment by Zoo Mom on February 11, 2015 at 9:01pm: Thanks for the hotel info Diannep
