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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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 bchis on September 6, 2013 at 1:48pm: @CatMom

We did make it! We got a little time with her after PIR and will be picking her up in a couple hours, I hope!! It was so hard not to put my hands on her... very awkward with my arm in hers, instead of the other way around...

This is the only picture I have right now. Hopefully, some of the other ones will come out less blurry!

Comment by diannep on September 6, 2013 at 8:41am: Happy PIR Day! Hope this is a blessed day for all...and hope many of you are sitting in PIR Hall now!

Don't forget the livestream option for those "left behind." Link is located in the "pages" section above and to the right, under the MEMBERS PHOTO BOX.

Comment by TNmomof8 on September 5, 2013 at 4:31pm: We just got to GL and sitting on the bed in the hotel room. Left at crack of dawn:30 from TN. Hope to see y'all here.
