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 Edie on October 15, 2013 at 7:12pm: Robinette48,
Thanks glad to hear your son is likeing a school,
My son loves his gym shorts I'll take those and stuff like that. I'll send him his street clothes when he is allowed to have them.

Comment by robinette48 on October 15, 2013 at 6:56pm: My son just got there Sunday. He says it's awesome. If you have time to meet him at the airport before he goes take him his personal items there. They cannot have them at great lakes. Take him under shorts. His phone. Computer and some clothes to ware off base once he gets to do that.

I'll take him that stuff 2!

Comment by boocoo on October 15, 2013 at 3:09pm: chi's mom, where is your daughter for A school? She was in my son's division. He also graduated an E-3 and ribboned and just all around did really well in RTC. I was so proud of them for doing BS the night before graduation and then marching and doing their division proud at the Graduation Ceremony. He is A school at San Antonio, Master of Arms.

Edie, I took boxers, lounge pants and a t-shirt for our son at the hotel. He never even put them on. We didn't have enough time. He put them in his backpack and took them with him to A school however and is glad to have them for lounging in the barracks at night.

Comment by Edie on October 15, 2013 at 2:42pm: Thanks Ellen
So no swimming trunks either wow!i will not take any clothes to him!what about their underwear? He is dying for real underwear!ha ha

Comment by ellen0502 on October 15, 2013 at 2:36pm: Edie, Your Sailors must stay in uniform all weekend. No civilian clothes outside in public at all. They must even wear navy issued swimming attire if goung to the pool.

Comment by Edie on October 15, 2013 at 2:20pm: Thanks,
I guess it's time to get the street clothes out of the suit case!
I don't want to get my sr in trouble!he would have not thought about asking if street clothes was ok to wear!
