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."

~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 Laura68 on June 28, 2013 at 8:25am: vtownmom- My son is on ship 09 Div 277.

He is going to A school in San Antonio..

I am glad to finally see that there is someone in the same Div..

Comment by proudmom of PH on June 27, 2013 at 11:21pm: I got a 20 minute call today! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Waukegan on my phone. He sounded even more enthusiastic than on Saturday. I am so happy for him and relieved for me.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 27, 2013 at 11:09pm: I just got off the phone with my daughter/Sailor and she is still doing well and on her way to work the night shift. She said to tell everyone thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers. I am so happy she and baby are well :)

Congrats to those who got calls and letters this week :)

Remember for those family members who can't go to PIR they can now watch it on their computer. So, family members who come with you or who stay at home can see it as it happens. :) I am going to try and watch part of it tomorrow morning just so I can see how it is done. I wish they had that when my daughter had PIR. My mom would have loved to be able to watch it.
