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"

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2015 at 1:43pm: Doni - When a recruit fails any portion of the final PFA they are not on track to graduate anymore. They cannot go on to do Battlestations until they pass the PFA.

So, they are removed from their division and sent to join the FIT division where they will concentrate on passing the PFA. Once they do they wiill be moved back to their original division IF it has not gone through Battlestations. If it has then she will be placed with whatever divisions that are going through in order to complete it and participate in her original graduation date.

If a Recruit does not pass their final PFA before their original PIR date they will remain in FIT to get it done. Once they have they will go through Battlestations with another TG. However, they will not have a PIR. They will go directly to their A school.

I believe they have 12 attempts to pass their run. If they cannot then they will be discharged from the Navy. The percentage is very high for passing. The Navy works with them well.

Comment by KTP (Kim) on October 12, 2015 at 1:19pm: oh man, 3 days so exciting for even the thought of seeing my boy !!!!

Comment by Doni (SM's mom) on October 12, 2015 at 12:59pm: My daughter was in 949 but she didn't pass her run so she will retest on Tuesday - when she passes will she rejoin her division for graduation? She mentioned something about being moved out because she didn't pass the run?

Comment by diannep on October 12, 2015 at 8:53am: Congrats 949! There should be another winner too. Should be posted tomorrow by RTC FB.

Good Morning!

Comment by navymama on October 12, 2015 at 8:23am: Congratulations 949! I got a call yesterday also confirming that they won Captains Cup for the integrated divisions. Not sure who won for the all male divisions.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 12, 2015 at 1:28am: Congrats to 949! Thanks for posting that garden gal :-)

Comment by garden gal on October 12, 2015 at 1:19am: Hi everyone - I just wanted to post that Div 949 won this week's Captain's Cup for Integrated divisions

HOOYAH

Comment by diannep on October 11, 2015 at 11:55pm: Arismom: Not sure where you posted about BStations dates, but sorry you are leaving the group. RTC asks that dates NOT be posted on here....it is up to us to monitor that and ask that they be removed if posted. I hope that you change your mind and stay on the group. It is great support and we are here to help.

Comment by diannep on October 11, 2015 at 11:54pm: Navy girlfriend. Yes, the sailors can come in your hotel room, but there are no overnights with the sailors....all must return to base at night.

Comment by diannep on October 11, 2015 at 11:53pm: For the girls trying to make their run, I forgot about the holiday tomorrow. That is why they are running Tues rather than Mon. Prayers for wings on their feet!
