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."

~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 Lynn on August 30, 2013 at 4:31pm: Got my cal from my boy DIV 338, passed and so excited . I can't wait for next week...

Comment by NavyDad206 on August 30, 2013 at 4:12pm: Nothing yet on 336..

Comment by Flo'sMom on August 30, 2013 at 4:06pm: Any news on Div 335/336 waiting anxiously to hear. Don't know if they get more than one call or not. Hoping so but if not I should hear shortly after the call is received. Prayers and best wishes to all. Jae, special thoughts going to you and your SR.

Comment by NavyDad206 on August 30, 2013 at 4:03pm: We are hearing Div 337/338 are getting "Im a sailor" calls right now.....

Comment by Lucy2013 on August 30, 2013 at 4:01pm: I'm confused. Did BS for Div 337-388 get pushed to next week?

Comment by diannep on August 30, 2013 at 3:57pm: The lower-numbered divisions in a PIR group start training before the higher-numbered divisions do. So there is about a week or so difference between when the first ones finish (BattleStations) and the last ones do. That is normal.

Prayers for Jae's SR and any others trying to pass their PFAs and BattleStations!

Comment by CatMom509 on August 30, 2013 at 2:50pm: Happy Friday!!

Comment by ScoobyDoo Ship 14 Div 335 on August 30, 2013 at 10:32am: Jae -

prayers to you and your SR, with the whole DIV, along with all of us pulling and praying for her she will get it DONE and be making that call to you!!

Comment by BridgetTheBrit (Ship 11/Div 340) on August 30, 2013 at 9:16am: Way to go Jae!
Stanley, I know - it kind of sucks! I have been fine through this experience, all until this week, and now I am a wreck!!! It is luck of the draw. You know, with your experience, that the military likes to follow its rules, so they need a minimum number, I am sure! Our kids just happened to be the last arrivals to fill the division, so they jumped in with both feet and end up behind. The others in the PIR group started while ours were in P-days! But I would take those extra two days we had him, over this! Then the holiday delays BS further. Here is the deal though, as far as everything I can see, although to us the final test, once you get there, they will get you through. It is actually thinks like the final tests & PFAs that they have to get to pass that are more important, and that is what they are going through NOW! We just don't know the results :(

Comment by Stanley on August 30, 2013 at 9:07am: it seems to me as much pressure as they are under already that it would make it even more stressful and cause some sr's to have trouble i am proud of all the other div sr's for becoming UNITED STATES NAVY SAILORS as a Navy Veteran myself I tell You All Welcome Aboard Sailors
