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."

forN4M'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".

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2013 at 10:01am: Good Morning Everyone! I see where some in the 10/11 PIR group are receiving calls right now....so you never know! Keep the phones close by in case some in this PIR group get to call today.

Comment by Pa Mom (div 368) LS sailor on August 24, 2013 at 8:52am: Is any SR going to Mississippi for a school.

Comment by xrosaelenax on August 24, 2013 at 12:15am: Good night Navy family! Here's to getting calls tomorrow and Sunday!

Comment by diannep on August 23, 2013 at 11:49pm: That's always a possibility, Trent33! Keep the phones close!

Comment by LoriJa on August 23, 2013 at 11:03pm: I'm glad there a few going to Pensacola along with Em. Hopefully, they're all becoming friends! Any other girls going to Pensacola? I know moved up her boot camp date because they needed more girls in AE school. I guess there aren't too many girls wanting to be electricians! LOL I still question her choice, but I heard it was a really good "A" school to get into.

Comment by Coedy's Mama on August 23, 2013 at 2:42pm: Danna Navy Sisters! I love that!

Comment by Coedy's Mama on August 23, 2013 at 2:40pm: NVYWIFE - My heart goes out to you. I'm not sure what I would do in your situation. I too am very close to my SR. We confide in each other a lot. I have not told him a couple of things that have happened since he has been gone only because I don't want to add stress. I know he will understand! Like Dianne said go with your gut but know we are all here to support you however we can!
