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 Guidelines
and
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"

There are new pics on the Navy FB page. I didn't see my son. :(

I was thrilled to get the letter and learn he will PIR May 29! I mailed half my letters today and the other half will be mailed tomorrow.
Is anyone else Ship 13; DIV 194?

Good Morning All!  Welcome to the new members!   Glad those form letters are coming in for some! 

Here is a headsup re: the first personal letter you may receive soon from your SR.  They hold the mail from the SRs for about 2 weeks, until the Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained.  They usually receive this held mail after their first letters to you are collected.  So don't be surprised if they ask you in their first letter from them....why haven't you written?  They don't know about this held mail normally until it is distributed.  So rest assured that your held mail was received!

Hi All- Good to see more people on PIR 5/29/15 group.  Celia098....I did bawl for a long time when I saw the FB pics for the e-sailor program and saw my SR's face.  Really did ease my mind. 

Comment by Celia098 on April 14, 2015 at 12:17am

Oh my gosh! I found these pics on FB. I nearly cried when I saw my son's face! https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand/photos/pb.32459...
