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 TamTan on February 22, 2015 at 7:02pm: Diannep: Thanks for the information :)

Comment by angl8586 on February 22, 2015 at 5:57pm: Just got a call from our recruit. Div 921. So happy to hear from her! She sounded so tired!

Comment by TML629 on February 22, 2015 at 5:57pm: stay close to your phones Div 132 ship 14 making calls now

Comment by bonnielynne on February 22, 2015 at 5:49pm: Just heard from my son this afternoon. Ship 14 Div 131. Finally!! He said to tell everyone to write lots of letters - that it is what all of the recruits look forward to. He said its hard but he likes it and he is looking forward to everything they get to learn over the next few weeks. Really upbeat about everything (whheeeeww!) Also said he wont be able to call again for 3 weeks so hopefully the time will go by fast.

Comment by CatMom509 on February 22, 2015 at 4:38pm: Blessed Sunday!

     "Blessed are the pure in heart,

      for they will see God."

Comment by diannep on February 22, 2015 at 4:21pm: TamTan: So sorry but there is no way to get extra seats for graduation. The SRs are told they cannot put other SR's guests on their own lists. Big trouble for this. Your extras can stay at the hotel and watch the Livestream of the PIR service (many of the hotels will Livestream it)....and meet up with you and your sailor after PIR is over.

Comment by TML629 on February 22, 2015 at 4:08pm: Thanks this weekend I had to be in and out everyday and I just wanted to make sure I did not miss it.

Comment by TamTan on February 22, 2015 at 4:02pm: My sons in 132. No phone calls YET :)

Comment by Crisonna on February 22, 2015 at 4:00pm: Misschf, I'm just so nervous! I want to know how he's coping with the huge change haha. I do hope that we will be getting letters this week!

Comment by Misschf on February 22, 2015 at 3:43pm: Crisonna, my son's on ship 14 div 131 too and I haven't heard from him yet, if that's any consolation. I'm sure they'll get a chance to call sometime soon. My guy's a rotten letter writer, so I'm not surprised that he hasn't written a personal letter yet. Maybe some time away from social media will change that ;-) I got the form letter and the box, though, so everything's running smoothly as far as I can tell.
