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 NavyWifeFal on May 21, 2013 at 4:39pm: Thank you Kim!

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 21, 2013 at 4:09pm: Navywifefal ship 13 div 230- Yes he does but he said most of of his work is on Facebook. Www.comrockandmore.com

Comment by NavyWifeFal on May 21, 2013 at 3:37pm: Here is a link to an online store that sells velvet cases for challenge coins everyone.. I'm think i'm going to order one. www.challengecoinusa.com

Comment by NavyWifeFal on May 21, 2013 at 3:21pm: Kim does he have a website? I would love to get my husband a holder to keep his in.

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 21, 2013 at 2:58pm: I received my challenge coin over the weekend (USS Hopper), beautifully made. I'm trying to decide now on the Sailors Creed one also...I met a gentleman over the weekend that crafts challenge coin holders, thinking of having one made, he designs them out of dark maple wood. This gentlemen is a retired Navy Sailor and loves to give back, so I think I'm going to give him my business.

Comment by Kim~Made it to the fleet! on May 21, 2013 at 2:49pm: Sending prayers to the pooch! We love our animals just as much as we love our children.

Comment by Navywife2012 on May 21, 2013 at 2:40pm: Prayers for poochie!!!!! I'm considering getting my hubby a coin as well maybe the sailors creed! I really like that one. Sorry I'm so random I can only get on here on my breaks while I'm in school.

Comment by CatMom509 on May 21, 2013 at 2:23pm: alexandersmom,

I gave the Challenge Coin to my Sailor daughter in our hotel room. I had put it into a small white giftbox (3" x 3"). I left the coin still in the cellophane that it came in. I have 2 more coins ready to give her when she graduates A school and assume she will just put them into the same white box. She thought the USS Hopper coin was really cool!!

For those of you curious about the Challenge Coins, they are at www.pirgifts.com. Craig has a little video on their history. Just click on any of the coins, and the video will be part of the description. Since the coins he has are specifically connected to the RTC ships, they are a special momento of your SR's Boot Camp days~~ Oh, the Navy Core Values one is real snazzy too!
