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 rootie on August 15, 2015 at 6:36pm: I'm excited for all of you who got phones calls- hopefully I will hear from my SR soon- phone, letter, sky writing lol I don't care, I just miss him to bits.

Question- Do I need to send him a phone card? I suppose that's the only way he can call. Should have thought about that before hand! Can he purchase one there or should I post him one ASAP?

thanks!!

Comment by Sharon1973 on August 15, 2015 at 3:41pm: Got my phone call division 322. It was good to hear from him. He is thinking about changing courses now and took tests to do something completely different then he went in for. Not sure how that works but he was very upbeat and happy. Loves being head of laundry and has a great bunk mate! Couldn't ask for a better call.

diannep thanks for the info I will be sure to get one out there soon his mail is piling up!

Comment by diannep on August 15, 2015 at 9:54am: Good Morning!

Keep those phones close today....you never know who may be calling today!

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2015 at 5:22pm: Normally what people do, Sharon, is send a manilla envelope to mail back the letters. Yes, hard to determine postage for it, but more is better than less, I guess! Yes, he could give you the letters after PIR if that works out better, but many of them run out of storage space for the letters and that is why they want to send them home. They have very limited storage space there.

Comment by Sharon1973 on August 14, 2015 at 4:48pm: It was so exciting to hear from my son yesterday. Hoping for that first phone call this weekend. He should have received a ton of mail by now. I know I was reading that I could send SASE for all of his mail to be returned. Does anyone know if he can just hand it over to me at PIR? Wouldn't even know how much postage to pay for to get it all returned.

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2015 at 11:46am: Oh, and they may ask you for the password provided in the form letter too...just to verify that you are in possession of the form letter.

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2015 at 11:45am: Karie: Give it a little more time. If you do not receive it, contact RTC by email (should be in your form letter) and ask if there is a tracking number that you can contact FedEx with---you would need to provide your SR's full name, PIR date, ship/division numbers and your full name. Is there a chance that he donated/threw away everything he arrived with (they keep their wallets)? If so, maybe he had no need to send the box. They pay for the shipping themselves so some may not want to do that if their clothing is not worth returning. I would say that they return their phones, which they normally do, but saw someone post recently that their SR kept his phone there, but it was being held for him and would be returned to him after PIR. Never had heard that before....

Comment by Karie on August 14, 2015 at 10:07am: I am still waiting for my kid in a box, I did get my form letter, any suggestions? My son is ship 04, div 326
