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 diannep on August 28, 2013 at 11:47am: Can't wait to hear, Texasproud! The recruit leadership positions are a great responsibility and honor for the recruits. They look for those SRs who seem to possess leadership ability to hold those, and since your son said he was "invited," sounds like you may be right!

Comment by Texasproud(Ship 11 Div 346) on August 28, 2013 at 9:20am: diannep: Yea, I'm guessing it's probably more like an assistant to one of the RPOs. Anyway, hopefully we'll hear something...anything...from him tomorrow.

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2013 at 8:29am: Good Morning All !

Comment by diannep on August 27, 2013 at 11:25pm: Texasproud: Not sure Ship Staff are the division leaders. I posted that before I spoke with my son. Hoping that your SR will fill you in specifically on his position in a letter or call soon!

Comment by Texasproud(Ship 11 Div 346) on August 27, 2013 at 5:09pm: diannep: Thanks for the post. Handwriting is probably how my SR got on ship staff too. We always said his looked like chicken scratch. I assume, from the link you posted, that he is one of the Recruit Petty Officers (RPO) ? If so, now I just have to find out which one......hope he's not cleaning toilets all day!

Comment by CatMom509 on August 27, 2013 at 2:34pm: Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on August 27, 2013 at 2:34pm: Prayers for your mom, Lala~~

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 27, 2013 at 9:55am: Thanks so much everyone we really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. They admitted her to ICU. She has way too much carbon dioxide which is exactly what i thought. We have seen this several times with her and you begin to know the signs. Sadly she is on lots of medication. She was a smoker, quit 20 years ago but so much damage was already done. She has COPD and her lungs are just terrible. So she breaths in (Oxygen 24/7) but has such shallow breaths she doesn't release enough carbon dioxide. She also has congestive heart failure and Parkinson's disease and is on a blood thinner. They found that her heart medication was way too high a dose and was also cause many of the problems. So they took her off that and will be doing something different with a lower dose. We are getting ready to meet with the doctor in about an hour. I told her I have hundreds of people praying for her and she had a huge smile on her face. We really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. After we meet with the doctor I will come back home and finish up my work I did last night take that all to the PO and then head back to the hospital this afternoon. I cannot even begin to express how much I appreciate all of you <3

Comment by diannep on August 27, 2013 at 9:45am: Texasproud: Just talked to my former sailor son. He said that he was ship staff when there. Those on ship staff cleaned and maintained the ship, and didn't have to stand "watch." He said his handwriting was so bad that they couldn't read the "watch" logs so that is how he ended up there....Sigh...he actually liked being on Ship Staff.
