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 Freckles93*02-944 on July 23, 2015 at 1:23pm: I received my son's box this past Monday but I have yet to get the firm letter. I am so bumming. I ran out mailbox today and nothing was there. Getting a little discouraged.

Comment by poppersmom on July 23, 2015 at 12:26pm: Gavin's mom my son shipped 7/14 to my letter came Monday my son is in the same div as your son 300

Comment by diannep on July 23, 2015 at 8:00am: In order to only have 3 guests allowed, this PIR group would have to have 13 divisions or more. Yes, it happens, and usually about this time of year, but we really don't have 13 divisions in a PIR group too often. So---- hoping that no more than 12 for you all so you can have your 4 guests!

Good Morning!

Comment by ellen0502 on July 22, 2015 at 11:05pm: The formal list is not actually used for guests at PIR, your recruits will have the opportunity to finalize their list the last couple weeks of BC.

We won't know for sure, whether it is three or four guests allowed at PIR until we know how many divisions are in this TG.

Some recruits can't think fast enough for names, others list mom, dad, and a pets name. Don't worry to much avout who is on the list right now.

Comment by Gavin's Mom on July 22, 2015 at 5:42pm: Just wondering--we were told he would be able to have 4 people on his PIR GUEST LIST. When we got the form letter, only 3 of us were listed. Why would that be???

Comment by Gavin's Mom on July 22, 2015 at 5:34pm: My son shipped 7/14. Received his box and the form letter. PIR is 9/11. He is division 300. Anyone have a recruit in division 300?

Comment by My baby boy is now a man on July 22, 2015 at 4:11pm: I received the form letter today. Div 302. Do anyone else have a son/daughter in that Div?

Comment by JdubMom on July 22, 2015 at 2:28pm: My SR shipped 7/14 got the box on 7/17 & form letter on 7/20. Wasn't expecting it so soon, nice surprise. Hoping you all get yours soon!
