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 Leigh on October 27, 2015 at 12:49pm: Thank you so much! I called them and they sent me over to the shipping center - they have tons of boxes that never made it home. They are trying to locate his now. I also RSVP'd for the Meet and Greet... :-)

Comment by ellen0502 on October 27, 2015 at 12:25pm: Leigh, Ask your son for the password when you get your "Sailor call". If he doesn't remember it, he can ask someone else in his division that is standing near.

You can call or email the PAO office about his box of belongings, they can tell you where, or who to call. It is probably sitting there with several others that never made it "home".

Comment by JayDee659 on October 27, 2015 at 12:23pm: I have heard meet and fresh is wonderful. We'll be there. Would love to meet you. Let me know if you're going.

Comment by Leigh on October 27, 2015 at 12:20pm: We have tried to get the official letter rerouted (called local recruiter) but no luck, we don't get return calls. We received one from our son. Thank you for the suggestion of the FB Group - is there a link for that? I just found Sarges - I think we will do that, it looks like a lot of fun! :)

Comment by JayDee659 on October 27, 2015 at 12:14pm: Leigh, how did you manage without letters? Bless your heart! Will you be at Sarges Meet & Greet Thursday evening???

Comment by Nick_Jonez on October 27, 2015 at 12:10pm: Leigh, if they haven't already one of the admins from the group might be able to help. Also, if you haven't joined the FB group for this PIR they have some great admins over there as well.

Comment by Leigh on October 27, 2015 at 11:50am: Hi all,

I am way late to the party, just found the site yesterday. My son is in BC. We are waiting for the "I'm a Sailor" call, so excited. We head out Thursday for PIR. Only problem is that we moved 2 times this summer, once for selling a house then once from a temporary house into our new permanent house. So, as our poor SR was trying to write our address, he put the street address of one home and the city, state, zip of the other. So, we never received our letter (with the parking pw) or his box of belongings. YIKES I've been reading through your comments and your excitement is infectious. Just happy to be here. Leigh

Comment by ReneeHum on October 27, 2015 at 11:34am: Just waiting!!

Comment by diannep on October 27, 2015 at 10:45am: Good Morning! I'm a Sailor calls expected today (after 2pm Central usually) from 365/366/951. Keep the phones close!
