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 Guidelines and 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 Mrents on March 23, 2016 at 9:11pm: Amen Dylansmom, diannep, and NuclearMOM ship 3 Div157....and the rest of you. I received another letter today from my son, he had his wisdom teeth pulled last Tuesday. He sounded in good spirits though. My spirits are good, but man oh man, what a roller coaster of different emotions. 3 more weeks to go :-)

Comment by SailorSalon mom on March 23, 2016 at 12:14pm: Amen!

Comment by diannep on March 23, 2016 at 12:03pm: Thank you, Dylansmom. And as we are praying for those in Brussels, we can expand those prayers to all of us on this earth who are exposed to so much evil now. God is above it all!

Comment by NuclearMOMGoose Creek on March 23, 2016 at 7:21am: Praying for everyone for phone calls this weekend ⚓⛪
Count down continues. Anxious, excited, proud, nervous, ansey, restless, thrilled, electrified, eager. Just missing my SR.

     "I know that everything God does will endure

      forever, nothing can be added to it and nothing

      taken from it. God does it so men will revere Him.

                                                     Ecclesiastes 3:14

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2016 at 7:02pm: USNwifeIL: You may also want to tell your daughter that daddy cannot wave at her when he is involved in the ceremony. She may not understand that. I'm sure he will be "busting out with excitement" when he sees you all but of course must maintain his military decorum during PIR. She will be in his arms soon enough after Liberty is called. Hugs, etc are allowed in PIR Hall for the 10 min after PIR (they clear the hall after that). Outside on the base though....you may want to talk to her about how Daddy has to act like a sailor and it is a little more strict! Back in the hotel room, lots of hugs and kisses for all !

Comment by ellen0502 on March 22, 2016 at 11:42am: USNwifeIL, Probably not a good idea to let the five year old run to her daddy. There will be a couple hundred others running to their Sailors as soon as "Liberty Call. Liberty Call" is announced. Sailors disperse, crowd disperses...organized chaos for about ten minutes.

All sailors will have liberty Friday afternoon. Those leaving GL for school will be able to leave for liberty after PIR. Those staying in GL for school will need to move over to the other side before liberty, that task takes several hours.
