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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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 Teri (Elli's mom) on May 13, 2013 at 9:54am: Good morning everyone. I hope you had a great Mother's Day. I am so excited that we will be leaving for Great Lakes this week and seeing our Sailor's on Friday. It seemed like this would never get here. I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 13, 2013 at 9:50am: Good Morning everyone, I am heading back home now and will be back on here tomorrow. I hope you all have a great Monday.

twodaloo, she is staying at Navy Lodge. :)

Chanel, I think Sarge has a special that he offer transportation to and from the airport, to the Meet and Greet, and to and from PIR so ask him about that when yo call him :) I am pretty sure I read that somewhere but I could be wrong. He will fix you up for sure.

Comment by twodaloo on May 13, 2013 at 9:02am: Chanel when do you fly into Chicago? We will leave Ohare at @7:00 pm as daughter arrives at 6:30 pm on Thursday eve. Where are you staying at?

Comment by twodaloo on May 13, 2013 at 8:58am: Hello all o y'all. The official countdown is on! In five days I will sit on a bleacher and watch my son turn the chapter of his Navy life. He will start A School in one week and wear a new hat as a Sailor. What a feat! I would have never, ever, ever imagined my son taking this leap. I cried when he first told me he had joined. Mostly out of fear. I know I will be crying when he graduates. Mostly out of pride. My son: To God be the Glory!!!

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2013 at 8:46am: Good Morning All !

Comment by diannep on May 13, 2013 at 8:46am: Chanel: Contact Sarge:
