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 n8tureluvrk8 on September 20, 2015 at 8:37am: Hi. I can't find the info on the meet and greet hosted by Sarge. Could someone help me?

Comment by diannep on September 20, 2015 at 8:14am: Good Morning!

Comment by diannep on September 19, 2015 at 5:55pm: Amy is right. We cannot post publicly here or on FB with specific division BattleStations dates. We can only disclose the divisions who went through on the morning that they finish. If you posted a BattleStations date for a specific division, please click on the "x" in the box and delete.

It is no so much dangerous to the SRs....it is more a rule of RTC that they want you to practice OPSEC during this so you are ready for deployment secrecy. The rule is that there is to be no discussion of "ship movement" prior to it happening....only after the fact. Therefore, BattleStations, which is a test on every situation they could face when deployed, is considered ship movement. A few years back, we were allowed to post BattleStations schedules on this site, but RTC decided that this needed to be addressed (the practice of OPSEC) since there were too many "loose lips" on the social media sites!

Having said that, if you have a specific date for a division, you can post that you have a BattleStations date for Div ____ and ask that people friend request/message you for that date. Private messaging the date is fine.

Comment by Amy on September 19, 2015 at 4:05pm: Please be careful posting dates of battle stations it's against the rules and could be dangerous for our SR's

Comment by piglet on September 19, 2015 at 3:12pm: Division 336 has been calling today! ! They are doing awesome so they got long calls I hope you all get a call!

Comment by swim mum on September 19, 2015 at 1:21pm: Yes - we can't wait but anxious for the next week or so.

Comment by amyc on September 19, 2015 at 12:56pm: Swim mum not yet. Im waiting by the phone

Comment by Jennifer on September 19, 2015 at 9:30am: Good morning!! I am quite the bundle of nerves these days. My daughter has had trouble with her ankle and I am just praying every day that she will pass her PFA.Ugh, can't wait to get a full nights sleep without worry lol. Keeping all of them in my thoughts and prayers.

Comment by diannep on September 19, 2015 at 9:23am: Good Morning All !

Comment by diannep on September 18, 2015 at 5:14pm: No, Kim, don't call RTC. They will not discuss your SR's condition with anyone but him. When you speak to him again, ask him to sign the waiver that allows YOU to get info as well. Only he can do this. I'm so very sorry....we hear this alot....a SR being diagnosed with a condition they had never been known to have. He will meet with Legal and can appeal this decision. It could mean he is at Bootcamp for a good while working through this, sometimes for several months in some cases, but some have won their appeals. I hope you can get more info soon.
