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 diannep on May 29, 2015 at 6:16pm: Yah Yah Yah, ellen! Congrats!

Comment by ellen0502 on May 29, 2015 at 1:23pm: Good Morning!

I was blessed with a phone call from my Sailor son last night, at 2:30am, he is forward deployed, and thousands of miles away, but he knew I would be awake. I haven't seen him since Christmas, and I haven't "talked" to him since then either, I took me a few seconds to realize who was calling. LOL

Looking forward to receiving a call at any time, but never expecting a call will hold true for a very long time. You never know.

Comment by mcmomma on May 29, 2015 at 12:27pm: Got a letter today from my SR!!! He's doing much better and he's a Section Leader!!! I can't believe he's a Section Leader, he's usually a follower not a leader lol!!! So do Section Leaders where the orange vests we see in the pictures that get posted on FB?

Comment by diannep on May 29, 2015 at 9:36am: Sophia: Lala Ribbon Queen makes neat PIR ribbons for you all to wear at PIR and to the MeetandGreet if you want. You can find her under the MEMBERS tab above....or go to her website:

www.uniquememorymakers.com

She has had many satisfied customers!

And BBS, she can make the ribbons whatever color you want. There is really no division color....

Comment by Sophia on May 29, 2015 at 8:07am: Good morning! What are the ribbons for? Or what do they represent? I remember seeing it on etsy but wasn't sure what it represents...

Comment by BBS on May 29, 2015 at 7:51am: Are the ribbons a specific color based on the division?

Comment by diannep on May 29, 2015 at 7:35am: Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 29, 2015 at 6:07am: Happy Friday!!

Comment by Simomma53 on May 28, 2015 at 10:22pm: Hi. Anybody attending Sarge's Meet and Greet on 6/25? I read that they only have 2 baskets to raffle off the night of 6/25. Do you think that we could step up and bring in a few more? It would be fun to win one also, if there were enough to be raffled off. I guess you could make contact on Sarge's M&G FB page to let them know. It's going to be a fun night. I'm looking forward to it and to meeting the parents and family of our SR's before PIR :) :) :)
