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."

forN4M's Community Guidelines and 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".

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 20, 2013 at 2:52pm: So as of tomorrow the 21st, we are down to exactly 30 days till PIR! Anyone just as excited as I am right now. Hooyah!

Comment by Amberw27 on May 20, 2013 at 2:47pm: So I have booked with Navy lodge but have read that my SR has to be there with me to check in? I am checking in on the 20th and having him with me to check in is not going to be possible...is this true? Thanks everyone.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 20, 2013 at 2:23pm: I saw some very scary storms on the news. I hope all of you who have been or are in the path of these storms are safe. Please be careful out there :) You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by Michelle on May 20, 2013 at 2:09pm: Has anyone ever been to the Six Flags in the Great Lakes area? I see there is one nearby. We LOVE amusement parks.

Comment by Anissia's Mommy Ship 02 Div 932 on May 20, 2013 at 2:01pm: I've actually decided on driving, since PIR is not definite (pass/not pass). I went ahead & called the Navy Loge to extend my stay one night. Oh, you do have to mkae reservation in your SR's name. I did ask & they changed the reservation name over the phone, easy peasy :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 20, 2013 at 1:52pm: Gentle reminder...
Please do not post Battlestation dates on this site or anywhere. RTC considers it a breach of OPSEC. Thank you.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on May 20, 2013 at 1:37pm: I was waiting for a call all weekend for my son Div.233 he thought he would get one. Waiting to hear about his lab results, I hope no news is good?

Comment by diannep on May 20, 2013 at 12:33pm: Anissia'sMommy: It can be any time on Saturday, possibly Sunday even. If you can't stay until Sunday, please be sure to try and book out your own flight later Sat. evening if possible. You don't want to miss any time with her! She won't know her flights until sometime during PIR week.

Comment by Anissia's Mommy Ship 02 Div 932 on May 20, 2013 at 12:21pm: I am trying to decide between leaving 6/22 or 6/23, after PIR. I know there is a strong possibility my SR will leave on 6/22, but I would like to spend as much time as possible with her. Does anyone know what the average time between check in at the airport & departure to A school?
