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"

Good Morning!  Hope all enjoy a day, or part of a day (for those flying out) with your sailors!

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2014 at 6:56pm

motorcitymom:  Make sure you know which airport he leaves from.  You may want to text Sarge  847 212 0246 to ask what part of that airport is where the sailors gather....but if not, I'm sure when you get there, you will find them.

When you say he "leaves at 5 a.m." is that when he thinks he will be bussed?  Because I don't think the first flights leave until around 6 or so.  Sailors will fly out throughout the day.  You may want to plan to get to the airport between 3 and 4 a.m.  It takes a while to check in all of those sailors....

By the way, anyone having a sailor leaving from OHare later in the day may want to check out the daytime rate for the OHare Hilton (hotel is inside airport) $55/I believe.  Would be a nice place to get away from the airport crowds, have some privacy, get some rest.

How do I go and see my son at the airport, he leaves at 5am tomorrow.

Happy Friday!!

Hope all enjoyed PIR today!  Should be ending about now!  Enjoy time with your new sailors! 

Call Sarge for any questions you may have:

847 212 0246 (or text him).

Yes, the ceremony is inside the PIR Hall.  Enjoy!

Comment by Madono264 on August 21, 2014 at 4:20pm
Is the Graduation ceremony inside? It appeared so in the photos. Heading to GL now; praying for safe travels and good weather.
Comment by proudmom on August 21, 2014 at 4:16pm
