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 CatMom509 on October 1, 2013 at 1:05pm: The Holiday Inn Express in Waukegan also shows the Livestream PIR in their lobby right now. If there is more interest from families coming in, they will move it to an available conference room~~

Comment by CatMom509 on October 1, 2013 at 12:53pm: Navymomx2,

Prayers for your SR daughter to pass the final PFA today!!

Comment by CatMom509 on October 1, 2013 at 12:46pm: Hi All!

     "The Lord Himself goes before you

      and will be with you; He will never leave you

      nor forsake you. Do not be afraid,

      do not be discouraged."

                                             Deuteronomy 31:8

Comment by CatMom509 on October 1, 2013 at 12:43pm: diannep,

That's good that the hotels are doing that to make the PIR experience better for families that have members that can't all get into the PIR!! Very considerate--could also be a marketing tool!! Probably should keep a list of which hotels do that~~

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2013 at 12:25pm: Was just told that some of the hotels are showing the Livefeed of the PIR service in their conference rooms. So for those extras left behind, be sure to ask at your hotel if they do that. Residence Inn Waukegan does.

Comment by diannep on October 1, 2013 at 11:49am: Ladies: There apparently was a problem with the Livefeed of the PIR service last week for some. Please keep the Public Affairs Office phone number with you when at PIR and give it to those planning on watching it.....847 688 2405 just in case there is another problem---call them for info it that happens. I have posted 2 websites for the Livefeed since I understand that some on IPads have had trouble with the first one in the past:
