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 JessCam on April 9, 2015 at 1:08pm: limeadelover, thanks for the link, it was good to be able to see the pictures and get a better mental picture of what they are doing. My SR is also Ship 13, Div 185. My son got a chance for a call this morning, and told me they are scheduled to make calls tonight.

Comment by JessCam on April 9, 2015 at 12:53pm: I understand - I am at work at a residential treatment facility for teenagers. I went into one of our conference rooms and locked the door. When I came out, had 8 or 9 people waiting for something from me. Thankfully, they all know about my SR in BC, so they were all excited for me.

Comment by ZetaMom on April 9, 2015 at 12:22pm: JessCam, I'll be in class for 4 hours tonight. My professor knows about my SR in BC. So, if I start going crazy, he'll understand. If not, oh well! Nothing that I can handle will come between me and my SR's phone call.

Comment by JessCam on April 9, 2015 at 12:16pm: Coryn'sMom, It took me about 15 minutes to stop crying after I got off the phone, lol!! He sounded good, much more relaxed than the 15 second scripted call. Looking forward to talking to him again tonight, and glad I could give everyone a heads up!!

Comment by ZetaMom on April 9, 2015 at 12:02pm: Yay!!! Ship 13 Div 185!! Tha's my SR's division. Thank you, JessCam!!! I'm giddy!!

Comment by JessCam on April 9, 2015 at 11:50am: Just got my first call from my SR!! He was doing his first security interview and had extra time, so they let him make a phone call. Just wanted to let everyone know he is Ship 13, Div 185, and he says they are scheduled to make phone calls tonight. So stay close to your telephones!!

Comment by tytulip40 on April 9, 2015 at 9:40am: I searched those pics posted on NRTC's FB page till my eyes hurt - didn't see my boy! It's cool they post pics though! Loves it! Limeadelover - we are ship 13 Div 186 - his recruiter called me last Fri cause I was blowing up his phone cause I haven't heard anything and I want to plan accordingly. Still no word - driving me crazy. Got the box fast.
