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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 19, 2013 at 4:55pm: Thanks LaLa.!

You know, that's kinda cool. One less "thing" for the Recruits and Families while in BC.

Personally, I would wait until after BC and do it online. At least for those who have Sailors departing the next day for their A schools. Time is of value then :-)

The ones with Sailors going to GL TSC for A school will have some time on their hands as they have to wait for their Sailor to INDOC for a few hours and so could go do it then.

I'm lazy...I'd do it online!

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2013 at 4:49pm: Thanks for posting that info, Lala. Looks like now the ladies can see the design before ordering, unlike the other company? Too bad they can't get them before PIR though. But they are great momentos!

I see it is raining in GL .....again! UGH!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2013 at 4:44pm: you will no longer be able to buy the shirts with the DIV FLag on the back until after PIR. You can place your order while you are at PIR or order online when you get back home. This is all new. In the past families could get them before but the new company doing the shirts is doing everything differently.
