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 Feliciackm on October 11, 2013 at 12:00am: did not recieve any calls today... had to cancel our hotel and car rental. i waited till the last minute... if they really are doing a battlestation tonight and they will attend pir tomorrow, i wonder if they worked in anyone from fit? i would hope they would have allowed a call before then. everything has been so confusing... :(

Comment by robinette48 on October 10, 2013 at 11:06pm: We also we at Sarge's. What a wonderful thing they do for us families. It was fun to see my husband go up on stage!!!!

Comment by boocoo on October 10, 2013 at 10:55pm: Will do.

Just got back from Sarge's Meet N Greet. Totally awesome. Definitely recommend it to anyone coming here for their SR's PIR!!!!

Comment by diannep on October 10, 2013 at 9:55pm: boocoo: Wow, what a mess. Hoping that all "sailors" are accounted for tomorrow at PIR. Please post the "whole story" once you visit with your sailor and find out what happened.

Felicia: Wow, I know this has been frustrating for you all. Please post and let us know what you find out.

Comment by boocoo on October 10, 2013 at 5:23pm: Well nothing is posted for our divisions yet in Battle Stations, so don't know if they got to go last night or not. We do know that another division that was supposed to go last night is going tonight? Don't know if that means ours went last night and they were moved to accommodate them? Or if they were moved because there was no funding last night either? None of this makes any sense to me at all!!!! But here we are and we will at least see our sons go through graduation tomorrow and have Liberty with them.

     "Come quickly to help me,

      O Lord my Savior."

Comment by Feliciackm on October 10, 2013 at 3:48pm: Still no call from my sister. Her letter said she might still be able to graduate tomorrow but, we haven't gotten a call. We're supposed to leave at 7 tonight.

Comment by diannep on October 10, 2013 at 8:47am: Hoping they went through, boocoo! Will wait and see if the first 2 divisions of the next PIR group went through then too.

Strange reason he gave since they have had BattleStations since the govt shutdown all nights that they normally go (S-Th)...so what happened Tues night? They ran out of money by Tues??? What a mess this country is in!

Hoping for calls from all 4 divisions (2 different PIR groups) today! :-)

Good Morning!

For those still needing car rental, here is some info posted in another PIR group:
