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 Swansont (ship 13 div 404) on October 21, 2013 at 12:36pm: My son did battle station yesterday. Ended this morning. Haven't heard from him yet. Anyone else get a call yet?

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2013 at 11:08am: BAMA: Remember, if that is a SR/Sailor's last name, we can't post on here! If not, no problem. Just copy/paste your post without the last name (use initial) if appropriate.

Comment by ellen0502 on October 21, 2013 at 10:51am: Good morning!

Comment by Libra's mom on October 21, 2013 at 9:57am: Good Morning! Couple more days before we can see our love one...so excited!

Good luck to SR who will go to BS this week. By the way, anyone know which div. won captain cup last saturday?

Comment by racing girl on October 21, 2013 at 9:25am: Good morning everyone count down just a few days left.about the bascket I prefer to donate not created lately. I was hoping to buy raffle tickets too

Comment by BAMA NAVY MOM on October 21, 2013 at 9:17am: I am disappointed that no one in our group has jumped on with the baskets and raffle............that would have been a great opportunity to show Sarge how much we appreciate everything he does. Since we have opted not to participate as other groups are.........please remember to bring a nice donation to the Meet and Greet at Sundance since I know there are lots of us going. They do have a donation box I have read somewhere. Even if they do not.......please hand something to him as a THANK YOU.

Comment by BAMA NAVY MOM on October 21, 2013 at 9:05am: Door posters...........we just did a poster size board you can be as simple or creative as you want. This is just to give them an extra HOOYAH when they come stay at your room during liberty. I saw one this morning that someone hand drew, it was great. I took the time to let my younger guys glue glitter and write stuff to their sister......it was fun for all of us.

Comment by BAMA NAVY MOM on October 21, 2013 at 9:03am: Well they should be wrapping it up............hoping to hear some good news for everyone in 403/404 or anyone mingled in BS last night. Congrats!!!! I am looking for guy last name Coxxxxx mom............I know I talked to her when I first joined but can't remember who's mom was who's except the ones on facebook I talk to regularly. My SR sent me a letter to get to him, would like to send it today.

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2013 at 8:17am: Good Morning All ! Hoping to hear I'm a Sailor from those new sailors in Div 403/404 this afternoon!
