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 ChristinaMarie (Ship 14/Div 298) on August 17, 2013 at 3:38pm: When I talked to my son, I asked about a few of your SR's that I "know" but he said they are known by last names... He did say they have a good group and everyone is doing ok.

Comment by Coedy's Mama on August 17, 2013 at 3:22pm: I'm so glad to hear that you guys are getting calls from 11-366. I haven't heard from Coedy but I know he is doing great!I just want ot hear his voice! So proud of him!

Comment by Nicksmom on August 17, 2013 at 3:21pm: So glad many of you received calls today. Must have been a huge relief! I didn't receive a 2nd call today. Crossing my fingers one comes tomorrow.

Comment by SoCalNavyMom on August 17, 2013 at 3:01pm: My son was also crying. He's homesick & stressing about passing an inspection test. I kept up with the positive reinforcement. Told him to be confident & he can do anything he sets his mind too. He said it appears that everyone is getting mail. And everyone is cool. He was also excited that a lot of people would be going to Pensacola.

Comment by neicey800 on August 17, 2013 at 2:53pm: Answered the phone and he started crying..I am crying now but managed to hold it together on the phone. He's missing home and needed reassurance no matter where he ends up I will visit all the time. Glad he's OK but my heart hurts now.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on August 17, 2013 at 2:52pm: My sons name is Bryce

Comment by Trent33 on August 17, 2013 at 2:49pm: Got our call today. Short but sweet. Ship 03 Div 368

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on August 17, 2013 at 2:48pm: I hav a situation, my son tried to call 3 times and for some reason it was set to not allowed unknown calls. So I missed all od them I was hoping that someone with a kid in the same division could maybe get the message to kid if they are still calling from his division. I want to talk to him more then anything.
