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 Djswife on June 11, 2015 at 8:31pm: Sophia I receive mail yesterday, Div 219. Hopefully you will receive a letter tomorrow :)

Comment by Sophia on June 11, 2015 at 8:10pm: Did anyone receive mail today? I normally get my SR's letters every Thursday but I didn't receive anything today :(

Comment by Vinder on June 11, 2015 at 6:31pm: God bless her

Comment by Djswife on June 11, 2015 at 6:02pm: NavyAunt that is so great to hear! I'm so happy for her :)

Comment by NavyAunt on June 11, 2015 at 5:42pm: Thank you all for the well wishes!

She got her orders this week and is stationed exactly where she wanted to be. She got bad and good news all in the same week! Always a light at the end of the tunnel:)

Comment by diannep on June 11, 2015 at 4:36pm: NavyAunt: I so agree with ellen....stress fractures are so very common....so glad they are allowing her to heal! This is just a small "bump" in the road....she'll get there! Blessings to her and we will look for you on a future PIR group when she resumes training!

Comment by Djswife on June 11, 2015 at 3:48pm: So sorry to hear that NavyAunt. Wishing your SR a speedy recovery and the best of luck. Sending good thoughts your way :)

Comment by ellen0502 on June 11, 2015 at 3:46pm: NavyAunt, I am so sorry to hear this.Stress fractures are a problem in BC, and they happen often, unfortunately.

Good news is they didn't send her home, and they could have. They want her to become a Sailor, so a huge Bravo Zulu to her!

Hugs, prayers and healing wishes to her!! See you in her next TG.

Comment by NavyAunt on June 11, 2015 at 3:00pm: I am sadden to say that I will be leaving this PIR group due to my niece having to move to ship 04 div 2341. She has some stress fractures that need to heal and then she will be put into another div to finish BC and graduation with. Best of luck to all your sailors!
