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 navygf8 on May 3, 2015 at 7:17pm: Niclisten - I was hoping for a call today too :(

Comment by Niclisten on May 3, 2015 at 7:13pm: Looks like no calls today. It's really starting to get to me.

Comment by Latrisa on May 3, 2015 at 4:10pm: My son is in ship 13 div 213 I can't wait to see him on June 19 I wish it would be early

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2015 at 11:41am: coolaunt: Yes, I understand....I just wish that they could spread them out a little more....even if just a week or so apart. And, yes, they all get through it but having been helping on this site for over 5 yrs, some really get afraid when their SR is so sick, especially the ones whose SRs usually are not ones to get sick often. My son was one of those....I didn't freak out, nor did he, but seems that there has to be a better way? But whatever! Thanks for giving the medical perspective on this AND your personal experience from getting them when you traveled.

Here's an interesting article from the Navy:

Comment by Chetta on May 3, 2015 at 10:27am: My son did fell ill for a few days with a fever. He was much better on Saturday when he called. I appreciate your responses it helps me calm down.THANK YOU

Comment by coolaunt on May 3, 2015 at 8:12am: Yes, it seems like a lot. I am a nurse and I can say from experience I had these shots when I went overseas years ago... it happens so quickly they give usually two at a time. I didn't feel sick, the sites are just a little sore. they are kept moving so much, not so sure they will have any issues. It will be good to hear from those who have recently been thru it. I just wanted to let you know it should be fine. better the vaccine then the disease, the shots they are getting help protect from a broad spectrum of illnesses, especially being in an enclosed environment like a ship.

Comment by diannep on May 3, 2015 at 8:08am: Chetta: Ugh....on the vaccinations. It is hard on their bodies, in my opinion, to have so many at once....and it temporarily compromises their immune systems so that is why so many seem to get sick....but they get over it. All have to have these, they cannot refuse any of them. Believe me, I checked this out before my sailor went up there back in 2009....we are natural people, don't do meds....we do vitamins, etc....no vitamins allowed there and yes, they must all have all of the shots. Try not to worry....they will be ok!

Good Morning All ! Have a great Sunday! If any calls are to come in today, it will be after 1 pm Central because of church services this morning, which they are allowed to attend.

Comment by Chetta on May 3, 2015 at 7:00am: Thank you everyone for the info.This is very helpful to me to have you all to talk to. My son was given like 5 vaccinations already. Is that safe?
