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".

Hi diannep, I tried to comment back but it doesn't let me. I sent a friend request though. Amazing coincidence! I must tell you.

Can someone pls tell me how to get added to the FB group for PIR 9/13/13? Thanks
Comment by Rosemary on August 15, 2013 at 11:06am

I shared this on FB and thought I'd share it here too. This is a letter my 9mo old granddaughter sent to her Uncle Sam. I thought it was sweet of my daughter to send this to her brother....

SamsMySailor,

May the meds your doctor gave you rid you of that bronchitus lickety-split!

Comment by Rosemary on August 15, 2013 at 9:23am

Missing my boy terribly! We've had lots of rain here in Alabama,which is very unusual for summer here. I should be grateful though because usually we are contending with drought, horrible humidity. Went to the doc yesterday because I've been coughing for 2 weeks. My husband said it was sympathy sickness because our last call from Sam he was coughing and stuffy. Doc says bronchitis. Brings you down emotionally too, but I'll be well by Sept.13th!

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2013 at 8:29am

Cody'sMom:  Sigh....please send some down to us in S FL!  We are dissolving into a pit of heat and humidity!  Enjoy your unexpected cooler weather!  :-)

Good Morning All !
