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 Jennifer on October 1, 2015 at 7:56pm: Ok thank you.

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2015 at 7:55pm: Absolutely, 3boyzmom. I hope you are there now!

Jennifer: Will post the FIT link in a moment. The group sadly is not too active but you can scroll through the posts and gets lots of info that way.

Comment by 3boyzmom on October 1, 2015 at 6:15pm: Thank you AngieL. I appreciate the response.

Comment by AngieL on October 1, 2015 at 6:07pm: I would say go ahead. There are 6 of us and we did rsvp. But we cannot attend.

Comment by 3boyzmom on October 1, 2015 at 5:25pm: I didn't RSVP to Sarge's because I thought it would be too much for my Sailors little brothers. Now I think we should go. Unable to this late. Will they let us in if we just show up?

Comment by Jennifer on October 1, 2015 at 3:41pm: Hi dianne, isn't there a discussion for FIT? I thought I had seen it but for the life of me can't find it.

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2015 at 10:04am: You are very welcome, swim mum!

Comment by swim mum on October 1, 2015 at 8:14am: Good morning Dianne and thank you so much for everything

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2015 at 8:00am: Safe travel for those leaving today, enjoy Sarge's MeetandGreet tonight, be early to PIR tomorrow. Here is a driving hint for those wanting to drive on base:

Stay to the left on Buckley....car line to RTC on your right. Bypass RTC and turn around right past there at the train station. Head back from opposite direction....easy left turn onto RTC! No wait! There is no wait if you take the shuttles either (sign up with Sarge at his MeetandGreet or book the other service -same price)-when you check in at your hotel.)

Enjoy!
