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 diannep on June 12, 2015 at 7:17am: Happy PIR Day! I hope Sarge gave his hint last night to those driving, re: missing the traffic. If you missed it, here it is:

Stay to the left on Buckley, car line for RTC on your right. Bypass RTC and turn around at the train station, heading back to RTC from the opposite direction. Easy left turn onto base! No wait!

Be early to get good seats in your section (gates open at 6:3o), But most importantly, enjoy! Congrats to your sailors!

the word of the Lord is flawless.

He is a shield for all who take

refuge in Him."

Psalm 18:30

Comment by ladiesnoopy on June 10, 2015 at 8:05pm: Sailor aunt - my son was so disappointed because he was 2 sailors away from shaking the Admiral's hand when they had to leave. He was so excited and said for a Sailor to meet the Admiral would be like a regular person shaking the President's hand. Thanks for posting the link.

Comment by ellen0502 on June 10, 2015 at 4:57pm: For those of you with sailors staying in GL for A School. On Friday after your SR gets moved over to the TSC side they will call you when they are ready to leave for liberty. Answer all phone calls at that time, some of the Sailors already in school allow your Sailors to call you on their phone.

If you can go to the main gate of the TSC before that call comes, and wait there. Weather permitting for both your sailor and you, the sailors will march from their ships to the main gate, ship by ship. There is a visitors center and Navy museum that you can visit while waiting.

When the new sailors are ready to go to the gate they march together, cadence and all, from their individual ships. You can hear them at their ships way in the distance as they start their march toward the gate. They march to the road that runs by the fence behind the visitors center. There can be several different ships heading toward the gate at the same time.

You can't see them until they turn down the street to the gate, but the anticipation as to whether your sailor is in the group coming down the street to the gate is almost as good as waiting for the door to open at PIR.

Happy PIR week everyone, the best hug ever is coming very soon!

Comment by Joy_Proud Mom_Navy on June 10, 2015 at 1:45pm: Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you for the support you all have provided over the last 8 weeks. I know this is just the beginning but I'm so grateful for this community! Cheers to all of you and see ya Friday!

Comment by sailorsaunt on June 10, 2015 at 1:41pm: 205-208 members: if you haven't seen the article on Facebook, here's a link to the article about the CNO (Chief of Naval Operations) Admiral Greenert touring RTC last Friday. My nephew told me he was congratulated by an Admiral at their capping ceremony after BS-21 but I didn't fully understand how special that was until I read this article. Adm. Greenert also "officiated" the PIR last Friday. Very cool and a rare honor.
