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 diannep on April 3, 2015 at 7:57am: They meet with a "classifier" during Bootcamp. That is when they "lock in" their job. Some that entered with 'jobs' may find out that now, they are overmanned, and they have to pick another that is available. Others will be ok. By the way, that happens when they are active duty too. If they re enlist, they may find that their "job" is overmanned then and they would have to pick something else and go to school for it. It is always up to the needs of the Navy!

Good Morning!

Comment by Judithmac on April 2, 2015 at 11:42pm: My son said that's what he was aiming for. I'm not to sure how it works.

Comment by Judithmac on April 2, 2015 at 11:32pm: Happyzucchini they will probably be in the same school. :)

Comment by Judithmac on April 2, 2015 at 11:30pm: My son is FC.

Comment by ellen0502 on April 2, 2015 at 11:23pm: AECF=Advanced Electronics Computer Field.

The Sailors who are AECF will have a rating as an ET (Electronics Technician) or FC (Fire Controlman). ETs maintain the ships navigation, radar, communications systems, while FC maintain the ships weapons systems.

Unless something has changed (which it can and does) both ETs and FCs will have A School in GL, then C School in either San Diego or Virginia (sometimes both)

Comment by DepthCharge4 on April 2, 2015 at 11:21pm: Boot camp, then school, then shipboard! I think I'm going to go crazy missing her!!

Comment by Judithmac on April 2, 2015 at 11:14pm: Depthcharge4 My son's 18. Straight out of HighSchool. Took Summer courses at our local university and then all of a sudden wanted to enlist. AECF is Advanced Electronic Computer Field. He goes 9 weeks to a his A school and 31 weeks to a C school. Pretty intensive training.
That's great that your daughter is a paramedic. That should be very helpful!

Happyzucchini:
My son is on Ship 12 Division 180. Where's your husband?

Comment by DepthCharge4 on April 2, 2015 at 10:52pm: Daughter is 20. Has had 2 Years of schooling and was/is a paramedic as a civilian. What is AECF? My daughter will only be in A school in Great Lakes 3 weeks then go directly out to the Fleet

Comment by Judithmac on April 2, 2015 at 10:41pm: I know what you mean. I'm nervous too! I mailed him 4 letters, didn't want to overwhelm him too much.. So will my son hopefully. His A and C school are in Great Lakes. He's AECF. I just wonder how he is. I'm trying to remain positive. How old is your daughter?

Comment by DepthCharge4 on April 2, 2015 at 10:33pm: We will be driving up: she is S-PACT so she will have all weekend leave after PIR but will spend good amount of time Friday checking in to A-School across the way from RTC
