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".

Thisistuff- hmmm... I'm trying to find a way to get a hold of them, but don't know how. :/ Oh! A lot of people are rooming at the Navy Lodge. It's about a mile and a half away from PIR. That's where I'm staying as well. :) It's really nice

NavyWife623Ship14Div318 - I think we are suppose to be careful and not give to much information for security reasons.

Comment by NavyWife623Ship14Div318 on July 23, 2013 at 10:36pm
Not sure how to use this thing. I hope this is the right spot. Lol. I spoke with my husband today and he mentioned a few people he is close to. Am I allowed to post last names and ask if anyone is related?

Has anyone booked flights or motel?? I am unsure where to book a motel.

Got another phone call tonight <3 We didn't talk for that long but the time we got was still worth it(: Started to cry though. I do miss him and can't wait to get his letter in the mail this week.
