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 AngieL on August 25, 2015 at 10:17am: My son called this morning! Ship 13 div 335. He sounded good. Said he really misses all of us but that it's going good.

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2015 at 9:16am: Good Morning All !

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2015 at 9:15am: dcgmom: Ask any questions you have here....we will try to help!

Comment by dcgmom on August 25, 2015 at 12:30am: thank you diannep, that will help me with my travel plans. My daughter and I were trying to put our collective memories together, and my sons' recruiter would not return our phone calls, so this group has been a Godsend. By the way, my son is in 334.

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2015 at 10:54pm: dcgmom: There is no Leave after Bootcamp, before A School. They go straight to A School. They can take Leave after A School.

Comment by piglet on August 24, 2015 at 9:05pm: My SR is in 336 and you are saying he is on 1-4. How in the heck does he get everything done before PIR? If I counted right based on what you stated and below not counting Labor Day or the weekend that puts him at day 6-5 on Oct. 1, isn't Battle Stations after day 6-4? Oh my how do they push them through?

Comment by dcgmom on August 24, 2015 at 9:02pm: he is going to A school, but was not sure if he was going to take leave after basic, then go back for A school, or continue to stay for A school. I hope to hear from him soon. This group is great, thank you all for your help.

Comment by dcgmom on August 24, 2015 at 8:54pm: thank you so much for the info, that is so helpful. I know he is going to mechanical/engineering training, but not sure if that is A school or not. He was not living at home for a couple of months before he left, so I was not able to get as much info as I wanted, and until I hear from him, not sure what is going on. I just know I want to be there, and the form letter didn't give me that info.

Comment by piglet on August 24, 2015 at 8:48pm: DCGMOM We are arriving on the 30th and staying until the 4th because our SR stays in GL for A school.

Comment by ellen0502 on August 24, 2015 at 8:33pm: dcgmom, Does your Sailor stay in GL for A School?

The first is a Meet and Greet that you can attend, you Sailor will not be there, and PIR on the second.

If your Sailor flies out for school s/he will leave in the wee morning hours Sat to the airport, and fly out sometime Sat. You can go to the airport and wait at the gate for the plane to leave.

If your Sailor is staying in GL for A School, s/he will have a few minutes after PIR, then must go back to the ship to move to the other side for A School. Once they are all done moving and getting checked in they can leave for liberty on Friday. They will have liberty on Sat and Sun anywhere from 6am to 10pm. They will know what their hours are when they get moved over to A School.
