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."

~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 AngieW (12/168) on March 30, 2013 at 4:14pm: Has anyone from 167/168 received a call today?

Comment by Rachel/Corpsman mom on March 30, 2013 at 2:57pm: Morning ladies. Got a call from my son this morning at 6:31am my time (in AZ) he sounded in higher spirits today and got to talk to him for 38 minutes. It was fantastic. He said he is broke out in a rash. I missed the maillady the other day so he didn't get a letter one day and thought i had forgot about him. Made me cry. He was saying that they were told that they may have to stay in GL an extra week if there was no room for them in their A schools. Does anybody know how that works?

Hope everybody gets calls today or tomorrow.

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2013 at 2:03pm: Congrats, ladies, on the calls!

Comment by Erica on March 30, 2013 at 11:38am: Just talked to my husband!! And he is doing great. Told me that he got the highest score on the test they took and he gets to carry the flag. I am so proud of him. Felt good to hear from him and to know that he is missing me as much as I am missing him. Hope you all get a phone call today as well!

Comment by Melissa (14/175) on March 30, 2013 at 10:50am: Yay!!! I just got to talk to my husband!!! He said that they had an academic test and did well on it. They earned a flag. :)
