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."

for
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".

@ ellem0502...I can only imagine the hilarity of the moment. LOL

I am so relieved that this leg of the journey is almost over. Feel like I've been through my own personal waiting game boot camp.

2ndGenNavy, What your SAILOR doesn't like the underwear given when entering BC? I just don't get it.

Giggling

My son changed into boxers within the first five minutes of getting to the hotel after PIR.

On Saturday night when my son  went back to his ship (TSC side) with his brother to get checked in, there was a group of female sailors who were just ahead of them. They were carrying those pretty pink shopping bags from one particular store (Victoria's Secret) and were giggling and whispering.

At the quarterdeck desk was a "new" sailor in training and he was very, very, very southern. He looked at the girls and said very loudly "Oh Lawd. Now I am going to have to look through all y'alls drawers." Needless to say all of those around laughed knowing every bag entering the ship has to be checked.

Comment by 2ndGenNavy on April 22, 2013 at 5:08pm

Woo Hoo! Got a call... long conversation too, yipee!

My SR on requested a phone and undies, LOL!

 

Anyword on flooding at the hotel sites? Trying to get through now and I've been on hold forever wondering if I need to stay in Chicago and cancel reservations near the base just in case.

 

Comment by ellen0502 on April 22, 2013 at 5:04pm

I see phone calls coming in.

BRAVO ZULU to all the new sailors!

Comment by ellen0502 on April 22, 2013 at 5:03pm

Shannon, Yes, take a copy of your marriage license with you, that with your picture ID should do the trick.  

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 22, 2013 at 4:50pm

That should work fine Shannon :)

Comment by Shannon New on April 22, 2013 at 4:43pm
Oh no! I just realized my ID doesn't have my new married name on it yet. If I take my marriage license along, will that validate me?
Comment by Shannon New on April 22, 2013 at 4:33pm
She's a sailor!!!
Comment by ellen0502 on April 22, 2013 at 4:13pm

Steve instead of Steven shouldn't be an issue. What could/would be an issue is if the ID says Johnathan K Jones and the access list has Kurt Jones, or Maryann Jones and the  access list says Aunt MJ.
