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 Kate on July 19, 2015 at 10:51pm: Hi everyone-

I have a couple of questions. My husband said my son's recruiter told him we should expect something in the mail re PIR? In this information would be details on obtaining lower airfare--is this correct? Also, we were going to come in either a day earlier for PIR or stay a day after PIR. I was reading something about possibly staying with our SR until he leaves that Sunday evening for his A-school. Is that typical ? We are trying to make our plans but want to be sure we don't miss any time with our son while at Great Lakes.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone.

     where moths and rust do not destroy, and where

     treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Comment by StacyMRC on July 19, 2015 at 2:27pm: TwoC's sorry you missed your call.

Comment by TwoC's on July 19, 2015 at 2:04pm: Missed my phone call yesterday. We were at a wedding reception. My phone has no cell service at that location so I brought my husband's phone which has a different carrier. Went to the bathroom and got stopped a few times to visit. When I got back to the table I saw a 847 area code missed call 6 minutes earlier. Darn! My SR did leave a nice message on our home phone but so wanted to talk with him. Another week.....

Comment by mommaH on July 18, 2015 at 10:53pm: Got a nice call from my SR of 281! Anyone with SR's from 281 with last names starting with Gr, Bu, or Wi? Our SR's may be friends. PM me the last name and we can see if they match up!

Comment by StacyMRC on July 18, 2015 at 9:21pm: MommaB4 yay for 282 calls! Made my night! So glad we finally got them!
