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 Lisazship2DIV928 on May 23, 2013 at 6:29pm: Hey Devilinside I sent you a private message about the girls don't forget to check it out:)

Comment by Janet (Grad Hold in BS) on May 23, 2013 at 6:23pm: I'm not sure but that was only the second official call from 219. My SR earned one additional call so I have had three other than the "I'm here" call. I did forget to add that he said he did not care what we did after PIR, but he wanted to do it SLOWLY ... walk SLOWLY, eat SLOWLY, etc etc. That was pretty funny!

Comment by mrsb on May 23, 2013 at 6:17pm: Darn, my son is in 214. You probably got a call because your son's division is doing so well-congrat 219!!

Comment by Janet (Grad Hold in BS) on May 23, 2013 at 6:16pm: YES! One of the moms from Oklahoma got a call on Tuesday to check on her after the tornados and she warned us that her SR said they would be calling on Thursday. All in 219 be ready!!

Comment by mrsb on May 23, 2013 at 6:09pm: Janet, you got a phone call today??? Lucky you!!

Comment by Lisazship2DIV928 on May 23, 2013 at 6:02pm: Mine didn't know of the date for bs but she said when she finds out she will write me but I don't think she will get me that Info in time so if anyone else get that I sure would appreciate the info on pm thanks guys it really is getting exciting now ship12/217

Comment by Lisazship2DIV928 on May 23, 2013 at 5:57pm: Thanks catmom:)

Comment by Janet (Grad Hold in BS) on May 23, 2013 at 5:51pm: PHONE CALLS from DIV 219!! YEA!! My SR sounded great. He said that 219 is tied in first place with the two 800 divisions. They are also close to being awarded Hall of Fame. He earned the Sharpshooter ribbon (if that is the one just below expert). And I asked about BS so message me if you need that date. It was a short and sweet 15 minute call ... but my daughter and I sure enjoyed it ... thank goodness I was home!!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 23, 2013 at 5:50pm: Lisaz,

It's awesome that your SR daughter's division 217 is doing so well!! Please read the "Flag and Pennants Your DIV Can Earn at RTC" on the pages section underneath the members' photos for an explanation of the reward flags for barracks, drill, uniforms, etc... It is in the "View All" page.
