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 navywifeandmom on July 23, 2013 at 6:11pm: USnavymom63 my son is also in Ship 11 Div 343! Welcome! I will be at the Navy Lodge too, and I know one other Mom who has reserved from that division!

Comment by USnavymom63 on July 23, 2013 at 5:59pm: We got the letter yesterday! I was so excited I booked my flight and the Navy Lodge this morning. My son is ship 11 DIV 343. All I did was call the Great Lakes Navy Lodge1-847-689-1485 gave them my dates and they helped me book it. We got 2 queen s beds and a kitchenette for 71$ A NIGHT. Briana was very sweet and helpful. She told us about airport express - 1-888-284-3826

that we can book a shuttle to take us from the airport to the Lodge. From OHare to Navy Lodge would cost us $62.80. Hope this info helps.
