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 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"

     "He gives strength to the weary and increases

      the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired

      and weary, and the young stumble and fall;

      But those who hope in the Lord will renew

      their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;

      they will run and not grow weary, they will walk

      and not be faint."

                                                    Isaiah 40:29-31

Comment by Teresa on September 24, 2015 at 1:18pm: RTC boot camp Facebook posted several pics of weapons training this morning Div.949 I did not get to see my SR Div349 but maybe you can catch a glimpse of yours. You all have wonderful day.

Comment by Mindyjrn on September 24, 2015 at 10:35am: You are all such wonderful women! I am so blessed to have been given this fantastic site. You bring me to tears! Gob bless you all, our recruits, and sailors! We stand strong together!

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2015 at 9:34am: candy: I know what I always heard is that the first answer that comes to your mind is usually the correct one, but somehow we talk ourselves out of that one many times, right? :-)

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2015 at 9:31am: Mindjyn: I totally get the freezing up of the mind. My son is the same way. When he took a test in high school (psychology), the teacher chased him down outside after looking at it...she knew he knew the material but it wasn't reflected on the test. She brought him in her room, just the two of them, gave him the test orally and she said he did fantastic! Can we say: distracted?? for my son? He was the class clown but with no audience, then he had to show what he really knew! :-) Prayers for your SR that she can concentrate but not freeze up!

Comment by candy2 on September 24, 2015 at 9:27am: Good morning, Mindyjm, I will pray with you. The bible says where 2 or 3 come together "I" will be. I struggled with test also and like your daughter when they out the test in front of me I would see the right answer and convince my self of a different one. Lol So I know her struggle. It wasn't until I got older and decided it is what it is. And if the first answer I pick isn't right,then I'll just get it wrong. Lol oddly enough I started passing all my test. So I'll pray for her and the recruits.

Comment by Mindyjrn on September 24, 2015 at 7:48am: Good morning! Will be burning my blue candle all day for my recruit and all recruits. Test tomorrow and my daughter struggles with test taking. She freezes up and let's her mind get the best of her. She knows the stuff just struggles.

Comment by diannep on September 24, 2015 at 7:38am: Good Morning All !

     "Even to your old age and gray hairs

      I am He, I am He who will sustain you.

      I have made you and I will carry you;

      I will sustain you and I will rescue you."

                                             Isaiah 46:4
