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 He's in the Navy on September 23, 2015 at 3:35pm: No word

Comment by Samantha Parker on September 23, 2015 at 3:32pm: Has anyone heard from ship 04 Div 326 I am so stressed out I am supposed to drive starting tomorrow morning from Denver but not sure if I should if he is not graduating ?

Comment by CatMom509 on September 23, 2015 at 3:28pm: That's great news, Hunter Vance!!

Comment by Hunter Vance on September 23, 2015 at 3:04pm: She actually was able to call me and informed me she passed the pfa. She will do battle stations Thursday and graduate on schedule. So I will be making the trip. Thanks to everyone

Comment by diannep on September 23, 2015 at 2:24pm: Sorry, Hunter. The thing is....Public Affairs lets people know that info has to come directly from their SRs, but of course, she can't right now since she is not allowed to call yet. I'm so sorry it has to work this way, but it does. Brian actually has been in Public Affairs a long time and is a good guy, but there are rules he has to follow. They are aware of people having travel plans not knowing what to do. The thing is....if she misses her own PIR, she will not have another one. If she doesn't pass before Friday, she will stay in FIT and keep trying....10-12 more tries, every 48 hrs. When she passes, she will do BattleStations and then call you when a sailor. Usually they get a little Liberty time at that time, if you live close enough to get up there on short notice....and then they are shipped directly to A School. I still hope that you hear from her sometime today....calls for those who became sailors today won't start for about 30 more minutes. Keep us posted!

Comment by ellen0502 on September 23, 2015 at 11:15am: Hunter, The problem is they can't give out much information to you if anything. All you can ask is if she is still on track for graduation on Friday, and then they can only say yes or no, if they will even give you that info. If you asked more than that they can't and won't say anymore.

I hope it all works out!

Comment by Hunter Vance on September 23, 2015 at 10:35am: Well I emailed Brian Walsh-special affairs office about the status of my wife. He was very rude about the whole situation. Its such a stressful situation, and he didn't make it any better. I've never been more ready to see my wife or even hear her voice, and this guy did not care one bit. I'm just at the end of my rope here, I'm already a very anxious person, this is literally driving me insane.

Comment by diannep on September 23, 2015 at 8:39am: Good Morning! I'm a Sailor calls today from 323-326! Congrats! Safe travel today for those leaving for GL!

Hunter: I sure hope that you get a call from your SAILOR wife today.....yes, I agree, that it is very disappointing for those who have done that---traveled to GL only to find out that their SR is not a sailor yet. Hopefully she was able to pass that PFA and already has completed BattleStations....just waiting to call you! If you do not hear from her today, you can try calling RTC to see if they will give you the "status" of your SR. Most times this doesn't work, but in the past, some have been told the status. It would be worth a try....just in case. But hopefully you will get your call today.
