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 diannep on June 20, 2013 at 9:04am: Sarge's number for the shuttle: 847 212 0246

There is also an area shuttle service that the hotels use. Both are the same price $3/pp each way. If Sarge picked you up at the airport, he takes you to PIR for free.

Comment by diannep on June 20, 2013 at 9:02am: ninirivera: Take the shuttle to PIR. You don't need the pass then. You can't get the pass without your SR giving you the password.

Safe travel everyone!

Comment by ninirivera on June 20, 2013 at 8:14am: Hey sailor moms...how can I obtain a password to download the parking pass for graduation tomorrow? I left my letter at home and I leave this afternoon to Chicago, please help with any advice as to what to do!!! Thanks

Comment by linda1963 on June 19, 2013 at 7:21pm: Don't think this Mom is going to get much sleep tonight! I'm so excited to see and HUG my SAILOR on Friday! Fly out tomorrow morning........

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on June 19, 2013 at 5:39pm: Yea for VBS!!

I had a local man make this for Sam it is a laptop case he only charged me $40.00

It is leather and really nice. I told him I was posting it if anyone else wants one.

Comment by aldensherrie Ship 14 Div 231 on June 19, 2013 at 5:32pm: That's a good one ellen0502! That cracked me up! :)

Ladies it has been a great experience here with you. You have given us a sounding board and a safe place to lay our fears as new moms/wives/girlfriends of SR's (Newly Sailor's now) have traveled off to the wide wide world. This is something that I will truly hold dear to my heart and SO looking forward to meeting as many as I can over the next few days at Sarge's meet and greet or at the Navy Lodge (where we will be staying) and at PIR on Friday! Oh gosh! Did I say Friday??!! HOOYAH!!! See y'all there!!

Comment by Francela313 on June 19, 2013 at 5:01pm: Thanks . Im inpatient already

Comment by ellen0502 on June 19, 2013 at 4:06pm: VBS= Vibrating Bra Syndrome

If your sitting somewhere and your phone rings you can say, "Excuse me I have VBS" and run out of the room. When you come back those who ask what VBS is, will get a kick out of your answer. Those to afraid to ask may google it and wonder why you have Vacation Bible School syndrome, or a script error. :)
