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 Amelia on March 16, 2015 at 7:55pm: Lenora, I'm struggling with the same issue, when to fly home. I read somewhere in this website that Southwest Airlines will not charge a fee if the PIR date is changed and we need to change the flight date--true?

Comment by Lanora on March 16, 2015 at 7:33pm: I have heard so many different stories on Liberty I don't know what to think! Lol. He wasn't sure when I talked to him on Saturday. I need to book my flight soon and need to know when to fly back home. Does anyone know if there are airlines that offer discounted tickets for this occasion? We are flying in from Idaho and they are pretty pricey.

Comment by CatMom509 on March 16, 2015 at 6:59pm: Lanora,

What a blessing your SR will have A school at Great Lakes!! This means his loved ones have Friday afternoon to evening and all day Saturday and Sunday liberty with him!! He returns to his barracks every night~~ :)
