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."

for
N4M'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".

Ellen, I have read through OPSEC.  What are the rules for addresses at BC?  I have a "private" group for my family on Facebook.  Can I post his address there?  Am I able to post it on his facebook page?  Thanks in advance.

LOL,

I am just glad we have you here to lean on and that you take the time to help us all out.  Its amazing what I have forgotten in 3 years since my daughter graduated.  Plus this time I am using the site more.

Thanks again!

Typo on my part when making the countdown clock, thank you for pointing that out. I see so many dates some days that they all begin to look correct. :)

Comment by ROBBISONAC on June 26, 2013 at 5:06pm

My son has been in Navy since 2010 PIR 10/01/2010, but now my nephew has entered the Navy with encouragement from my son...I do believe this is his PIR date, 8/16/2013 he left for BC on 6/12/13 is this date the same as yours?  I have been with N4M for a couple of years now, and my son is through A-school etc. so I can offer some assistance.

Comment by cindysue2013 on June 26, 2013 at 4:57pm
Hi, my son's PIR date is aug 16, thought i would say hello to everyone
Comment by 2tymeNavyMom on June 26, 2013 at 4:05pm

Should the count down clock be reflecting the 8/16/13 PIR date?  It looks like it is showing a 7/16/13 date.
