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 Laurel88 on August 20, 2013 at 1:35pm: Disy - Thanks for the info on the brother Div. Did not know that. Didn't get her personal letter today but there is always tomorrow!

Comment by OneProudMomma on August 20, 2013 at 12:49pm: We also reserved the 2 queens and kitchen at Navy Lodge, the price was very close to the Ramada's 2 doubles and no kitchen. I think the kitchen will definitely be nice to have since we are planning to stay through the weekend.

Comment by MzNetNet Ship 12 DIV 371 on August 20, 2013 at 11:07am: Yeah we reserved the two queen with a full kitchen at the Navy lodge and the reviews on trip advisor were pretty good

Comment by enjoyapril (ship12 div 372) on August 20, 2013 at 9:26am: I see a few people booking the navy lodge how is pricing and has any of the veteran moms stayed there before??

Comment by diannep on August 20, 2013 at 9:17am: Mary, black or silver is fine. Although they are not prohibited on wearing gold ones, most know that gold is for officers, so they opt not to wear gold ones. You could actually shop for this with him after PIR up there in the NEX if you like! There is a very large NEX very close to RTC that may have a better selection.

Comment by Mary123 on August 20, 2013 at 9:08am: Can anyone tell me what the guidelines or standards are for watches that can be worn while on duty?

Comment by diannep on August 20, 2013 at 8:31am: ...just another point of interest: If you would like to go ahead and book hotels...you can do that. There is no penalty to cancel/change if you book directly with the hotel, not through a travel discount website (they may change fees if you change/cancel). Usually booking with the hotel directly, you have until the day before arrival or day of arrival to cancel your reservation if need be.
