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 Miss Nell Ship 09/Div 405 on October 16, 2013 at 10:52pm: Thanks lakemom...was trying to pass some info on to her...she's bummed out..as I would be if I received the call..heck it took my son a minute to pass the prone test, so I was worried I would get the call she received...just found out Monday he passed

Comment by lakemom on October 16, 2013 at 10:30pm: Oh :( I misunderstood I read the explanation of what happens and how many chances they get to pass somewhere on here ..now if I could find it again If I do i will send to you

Comment by Miss Nell Ship 09/Div 405 on October 16, 2013 at 10:24pm: No..not mine....they didn't get the I'm a sailor call...they got the don't come to RTC because I have not passed a portion of my PFA..so I cant do battle stations yet...."don't come unless I call you and tell you IM a sailor"

Comment by lakemom on October 16, 2013 at 10:22pm: Were they in same division as your SR? I thought it was a little early to get the "Im a Sailor" call even for those that will begin tonight

Comment by Miss Nell Ship 09/Div 405 on October 16, 2013 at 9:55pm: I fell horrible..I just had someone post on FB they got the call...so how many chances or how can the make battle stations...will they get to go with other SR's in other divisions...How can you make plans or do you...its scary and frustrating ..the not knowing..ugh...thoughts/prayers go to all moms that receive the call..

Comment by mateo2011 on October 16, 2013 at 9:25pm: if my husband is in div 405 wen will he start BS?? nd his PIR is oct 25.

Comment by racing girl on October 16, 2013 at 8:59pm: Im son is in div 408.i know no call is god news.but I wish I know if he pass pfd and he is in bs

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2013 at 8:53pm: Amber: You will have to ask your SR in the I'm a Sailor call who is on the list. They get to update them about a week or so before PIR...chances are, he has already done this. So....if they aren't on the list, according to RTC, they cannot get onto the base :-( But they could hang out with their grandson for the rest of the weekend so I hope they go. They can watch the PIR service on the Livefeed. Many of the hotels stream it in the lobby or in a conference room for those who cannot attend PIR.

This group starts BattleStations tonight and will go through the middle of next week (none on Fri or Sat nights though). What division is your SR in, racing girl?

Comment by racing girl on October 16, 2013 at 7:41pm: How you know when they are in batlestation

Comment by Amber 11 408 on October 16, 2013 at 7:12pm

I have a question for everyone....my stepson's PIR is October 25th.....his father and I are wondering how we know who is on his guest list.....here is my problem....his father and I are on it i'm sure....and his mother as well....but his mother is not going to be able to afford to go
so we want to take his grandparents.....but can we do that and how if we don't even know who he put on the list...?
.....(also at this point I have written him and asked him but he hasn't responded about that!) lol
Sorry about the bullets.....I didn't put them there....they just showed up lol
