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 19, 2013 at 7:53pm: Cindy: Yes, they should be "wrapping up" the final PFAs in the next couple of days. And, yes, do believe that your division will go next week (BattleStations).

Comment by Cindyloohoo (ATI Mom) on June 19, 2013 at 7:20pm: Thank you for the information on the Keel memory book! I wrote my SR over the weekend to be sure she ordered package A. I couldnt find any info about who to make the check payable to on the website so I couldnt enclose that. I'm hoping she gets the letter in time but its a relief to know that she can order the day of PIR.

Am I correct in thinking that the last of the PFA's and acedemics will be this week and BS 21 will be early next week for Div 244?

Pins and needles for me too! UGH...come on 6/28! Cant wait to meet you all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 19, 2013 at 7:15pm: Folks...Gentle Reminder Please do not post last names of Recruits/Sailors as it breaks OPSEC and N4M's Community Guidelines. TY :-)

I got a letter, he says things are going well. Updated me on BS21 and what he would be doing this week. Mentioned his rack mate He says they have received all four flags. He has passed all of his test. Looking forward to PIR. There was a meeting explaining PIR and what time he has to be back 20:00, information about shipping out to A School. :-) 9 more days!!!!

     "But let all who take refuge in You be glad;

      let them ever sing for joy.

      Spread Your protection over them,

      that those who love Your name

      may rejoice in You."
