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 NavyGF on March 25, 2015 at 5:12am: Anybody staying at a hotel close to base that I could go to the meet and greet with and would drop me back off at my hotel? I'm the only one going for my bf's graduation. ): I'm staying at days inn and it's about 2 miles from sundance saloon

Comment by CatMom509 on March 25, 2015 at 5:07am: Denise,

Best to get a flight early on May 7th arriving that afternoon in Chicago. Sarge's Meet & Greet is from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm. There is lots of info, free food, and fun! Family and kid friendly as the Sundance Saloon is closed to the public for this Navy family only event. Please RSVP Sarge on the Events section on the lower left. Click that you Will Attend, then you can go to the Comment Wall to put in how many are in your party.

Do you know where your SR's A school will be? Only sailors attending Great Lakes A school get Friday afternoon to evening, all day Saturday & Sunday liberty. The ones who fly out to their A schools get liberty time with you right after PIR at 10:30 am, then have to report back to RTC sometime that evening. Then you can meet them at the airport at about 3:00 am to pass on their cell phones, cell phone charger, laptop, own comfy underwear, and maybe some favorite snacks from your area. You will be able to get a gate pass with your valid photo id to go with them past the security checkpoint and eat, shop, and see them off at the departing gate~~

Comment by coleenk on March 25, 2015 at 4:00am: I'm flying on the 7th...

Comment by NavyGF on March 25, 2015 at 3:31am: Anyone thats leaving 5-7-15 to the O'Hare airport, please let me know!!!

Comment by ⚓️Brittany⚓️ on March 25, 2015 at 3:29am: Denise my boyfriend is in ship 03 div 175

Comment by NavyGF on March 25, 2015 at 2:40am: AprilMomof4: Nope. ): Ship 13 Div 170. What day are you flying out?

Comment by AprilMomof4 on March 25, 2015 at 2:35am: Anyone here yet for Ship 14 Div 173?

Comment by NavyGF on March 25, 2015 at 2:20am: No problem, let me know if you need anything else.

Comment by NavyGF on March 25, 2015 at 2:17am: Denise: My bf graduates the same day. Since graduation is early in the morning, i'd recommend flying out the day before in the morning or afternoon. Gates open at 6:30. I'm staying until monday bc he will most likely had liberty weekend. Your daughter probably is too, you'd know if she was a grad & go. Try to talk to her recruiter as well. And if she gets liberty, then you'll have the weekend but get a hotel close to base bc she will have a curfew.
