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 KB2OWJ Ship 03 Div 415 on September 22, 2013 at 9:13am: Just ordered the flowers and got a great deal... YAY

Comment by Rhonda907 on September 22, 2013 at 8:39am: On my way to my son's football game, already late and guess what my cell phone rings what do I do I c that area code I had to pick up. My first time hearing from my baby girl. She had a rough week, wisdom teeth out, she never let the dentist touch her here before. Said she was crying for her mommy, but they took care of her. Can't wait to c her.

Comment by KB2OWJ Ship 03 Div 415 on September 22, 2013 at 8:22am: Thanks Jacobsmom. Wish you were closer too. Actually wondering if I could order them through you and then sent here ....LOL What I should have asked does anyone have the military discount codes for any of the flower services..i.e FTD etc.

Comment by Jacobsmom on September 22, 2013 at 12:54am: Also, KB2 wish it was closer. Im a florist :) and would have given a military discount :)

Comment by Jacobsmom on September 22, 2013 at 12:53am: KB2 I wish we would have known or we would have gotten them out for sure :( I would have rather him been here.

Comment by KB2OWJ Ship 03 Div 415 on September 22, 2013 at 12:30am: Does anyone know what the military discount code is for 1800 Flowers ? I need to orders flowers for my son's girlfriend for her birthday and the special end at midnight tomorrow.

Comment by diannep on September 21, 2013 at 11:38pm: Navybeansmom: TOO FUNNY! So sorry a "news crew" didn't happen to be there to catch the action! And....glad the police weren't called! HA!

During bootcamp, 'phones in the bras' is a very common practice...with both vibrate and ring functions activated! You may get some strange looks though as you "dig this phone out" quickly every time it rings! :-)

Comment by EmilyD on September 21, 2013 at 10:56pm: Navy bean, that is a funny and oh so relatable story!! We run a campground and I have a fried dough stand that I open there weekend evenings. I was worried about what would happen if my son called while I had a line of customers. I decided I was just going to answer the phone, walk away, and explain later. Unfortunately, I did not get a call this evening, but next weekend I think I will put out a sign just in case!!

Comment by KB2OWJ Ship 03 Div 415 on September 21, 2013 at 10:54pm: It was recommended to have them out before he went in and he had them out in June. And was miserable for a few days but a quick recovery.
