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."

~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".

The Weather Widget is interactive. Click the green dot on the top bar and drag it along the to change the time. Click LIVE to go back to current time. Click on the days to change to that day or expand out to six days.

Comment by diannep on June 7, 2013 at 8:30am: Are you THERE YET? I hope many of you are already seated in the PIR Hall! Be testing your camera settings, decide which seat is best for you, etc. Remember, your division should be pretty much directly in front of you for the ceremony (other than 900 division which will be preforming).

Enjoy! One last warning: Remember, no pictures are allowed to be taken outside on the base---take all you want inside PIR Hall though. So although you will be tempted, please don't snap a picture of a division marching by outside.

Comment by Lisazship2DIV928 on June 6, 2013 at 11:07pm: Wow meet and greet was great:) tried to find everyone lol they probably thought I was a nut but I wanted to try to meet everyone I could:)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 6, 2013 at 8:54pm: I have been spending lots of time with my Sailor. She is home on leave and it is so good to see her. I probably won't get to see her again until I go visit her when it is time for the baby to be born <3 We are so excited to meet Eastyn in about 8 more weeks :)

Comment by SailorZachsGirlfriend on June 6, 2013 at 10:02am: Woo Hoo!! Waiting at the airport for my flight to Chicago!! :)

Comment by LibraryLady on June 6, 2013 at 9:55am: Hope everyone has safe travels here. We arrived last night and got to find where the base is located at least. We were looking for a place to eat supper at 9:00 and found the Full Moon Restaurant which is right on 41 just outside the base. Luckily it was open 24 hours and served sit-down family meals, including breakfast. We enjoyed it and thought the food and selection was great. Just wanted to pass this on in case anyone else is looking for a bite to eat and they arrive late like we did.
