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 Rows girl on March 27, 2013 at 11:04pm: So I decided to make the trip after all since I took vacation days from work. I will fly to chicago and sightsee and if he passes then I will be there, if not then at least I will get to see some sailors and maybe adopt one for the day. Lol

Comment by Faith2013 on March 27, 2013 at 10:52pm: Question? There was No name, division or ship# pre-printed on the gate pass, does this sound correct?

Comment by Faith2013 on March 27, 2013 at 10:50pm: Thanks MartiB_TX for making the sign for division 131 and 132 :) I look forward to meeting everyone.

Comment by diannep on March 27, 2013 at 10:49pm: TACOsMom; Probably can, but it will have to be given at the airport. Ask on the Groton group about that.

Comment by SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on March 27, 2013 at 9:39pm: Rows girl, you and your SR are on prayers.

Comment by Lancnavymom on March 27, 2013 at 9:03pm: Congratulations to all the Sailors graduating Friday. My heart goes out to all the recruits and families of recruits that met adversity. You are all in my prayers.

Comment by TreysMom on March 27, 2013 at 7:32pm: Does anyone know if they are allowed to have electric razors at sub school? My son asked us to bring his, but I'm not sure if he's allowed to have it.
