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."

WELCOME to PIR 03/29/2013!

CLICK MEforN4M'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 ellen0502 on March 21, 2013 at 4:36pm: Kimerly, BS does not happen over the weekend.

CourtRenee, You may want to ask your sailor (I love that word) about his XBox when he calls you. They do not have a lot of room for everything, and anything he has he will have to carry when he moves, and will have to stow. If he has his XBOX he has to have at least a computer monitor too so...

Comment by CourtRenee on March 21, 2013 at 4:21pm: Catmom- THANKS SO much for all of your bible verses! I always mail them to my sailor & he loves them! God Bless...

Comment by CourtRenee on March 21, 2013 at 4:21pm: NAVYFORMOM members! I just want to express my love & thankfulness to each one of you for being so helpful along the way! I don't know what I would've done without you... :) 7 days, WOO HOO!!!! I'm going to print my gate pass off tonight! hey, can I bring my sailor his Xbox for A school?

Comment by Navywife1026 on March 21, 2013 at 4:17pm: CatMom509 does that mean battlestations could actually happen over the weekend as well? Thank you for the info!

Comment by CatMom509 on March 21, 2013 at 3:47pm: Moss34,

Battlestations begins about 8:00 or 9:00 pm and goes all night for almost 12 hours, about until 7:00 or 8:00 am the next day. They should be able to call their families with the "I'm a Sailor" call about 2:00 pm and on that day that they finish. Calendar-wise, they begin the Wednesday of the week before PIR and can go until Wednesday of the week of PIR.

Comment by CatMom509 on March 21, 2013 at 3:05pm: Friends,

         "As for God, His way is perfect,

          the Word of the Lord is flawless.

          He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him."

                                                                     Psalm 18:30

Comment by moss34 on March 21, 2013 at 2:24pm: I was wondering if someone has heard on when battle stations begin or end? I know they said stay be the phone today and tommorow.

Comment by lavendergrl8 on March 21, 2013 at 1:10pm: martiB: good luck! I hope she is ok. keep the faith.

Comment by MartiB_TX on March 21, 2013 at 1:00pm: Thanks Diannep - I hope we don't get that dreaded call before Battle Stations - if she can just make it through and we get that "I'm a Sailor" call then she will have a little time to finish healing before she starts the next phase. Thanks all of you who are praying for her.

Comment by GB on March 21, 2013 at 12:52pm: Thank you - diannep and huskymom... took me like 8 minutes to find it - but now that i found it - it won't let me download... think my pdf is too low... so tried another computer that is "better" and now its saying it's invalid... I want to cry... don't know if he will call to say it's changed or something....
