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 Marc's mom (Judi) on May 10, 2013 at 3:13pm: HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY......Got my flight booked the other day, my mom just booked hers, my oldest son booked his flight and Marc's GF just booked hers.....so we are all set to go!!!! Now lets just speed up that calendar!!!

Comment by 239NavyMom on May 10, 2013 at 3:07pm: I got my letter today woo hoo, one happy mom.

Comment by bonitacruzita5894 on May 10, 2013 at 1:40pm: Anyone on this page with a SR that went to GB High School first name starts with a (D)and ends with a (S)? Please message me.

Comment by ellen0502 on May 10, 2013 at 12:09pm: Crom, Posting about your SR in BC of his ship and division while in BC isn't a problem. Do watch what you say about your SR because the RDCs can and do read this website. So..Don't tell everyone that your SR didn't walk until he was eight, that he doesn't like his RDCs, or that John Smith is his rackmate etc. No last names, no ship movement (posted dates for BS).

The easiest thing to help with OPSEC rules is, if you are questioning yourself about posting something don't do it, if your SR wouldn't like everyone knowing something you are posting, don't do it. This site is a great way to start learning about OPSEC

Remember, if you have a question about something you can always message one of the "vets" here on the site, anyone of us will be happy to help with something privately.

Comment by Crom on May 10, 2013 at 11:38am: My son is also graduating 6/28, I have questions about privacy, esp with the internet etc. social media, how much should be shared in general. I haven't even told a lot of people he is in bootcamp, posted nothing on my fb, about it. And even kinda don't want to post what ship/div he is in. I viewed some of the OPSEC but am not sure I have a really clear picture of what that means

Comment by diannep on May 10, 2013 at 11:04am: 239NavyMom: MarcsMom is correct. You just need to tell Navy Lodge that he is an SR. They assumed that your son was already a sailor. Of course, he WILL be by the time you get there! But you are allowed to book in his name before he becomes one.

Comment by MichianaMom on May 10, 2013 at 10:39am: 239 NavyMom my SR is Ship 14 Div 242 also!

Comment by 239NavyMom on May 10, 2013 at 10:25am: Thank you, I will try that.

Comment by Marc's mom (Judi) on May 10, 2013 at 10:23am: And you know, right now, I believe his 'rank' would be SR......so you could always call them back and ask ....give them the name, ship, div and that he is a SR

Comment by Marc's mom (Judi) on May 10, 2013 at 10:22am: I got it Wednesday. Marc is Ship13, Div 240. I just booked it on line, and they didn't require any extra info.
