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 August 6, 2015 at 7:17pm: helenlpw: Many like the "shock" watches....but maybe you could take your new sailor shopping for one after PIR?

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2015 at 7:16pm: The last I'm a Sailor calls will come in on Wed afternoon of PIR week. Please try not to worry about them passing BattleStations. The test that can trip them up is their final PFA (fitness). No matter what they did on the first two PFAs, they MUST pass the 3rd one in order to do BattleStations. If they do not pass this by their BattleStations day, they will call you and let you know there is a chance they will not graduate that week (although they still get chances). So pray for NO calls the week before PIR other than that wonderful I'm a Sailor call! If they happen to fail BattleStations, they repeat it and pass, even if they have to go the night before PIR.

Comment by helenlpw65 on August 6, 2015 at 6:44pm: I read that a parent bought their SR a watch for PIR and I liked the idea. Are there any regulations on watches they can wear?

Comment by lovey1020 on August 6, 2015 at 5:04pm: I figure it will be good luck that we are already on our way if the call doesn't come before we leave

Comment by jbf2006 on August 6, 2015 at 4:51pm: It's differently hard making plans and then start the long trip not knowing for sure. I have to start on Tuesday. I will be halfway before the call may come in... Positive thoughts and prayers!

Comment by lovey1020 on August 6, 2015 at 4:45pm: A parents our drive is 14 hours but we are leaving Wednesday as my Sr son will be with us and we make get the call while we are driving I just hope we will have signal all the way

Comment by AParents on August 6, 2015 at 4:14pm: We're planning on driving 13 hours in one day the Thursday before PIR on Friday, just in case we don't get "the call" till Wed before PIR.

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2015 at 3:30pm: BattleStations is usually done on 6-5 (Week 6/.Day 5). Since it is an overnight drill, they would finish on 7-1. Sometimes, a division has actually started them on 6-4 though, but normally it is 6-5.

Comment by diannep on August 6, 2015 at 3:29pm: Stacy: Push divisions are hard to follow as far as day count since they are playing catch up! And, yes, you are correct. The higher-numbered divisions just started week 5 and will start week 6 Tues or Wed next week.
