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 CRM Navy Mom SHIP 13 DIV 412 on September 15, 2013 at 4:24pm: Does anyone know anything about Trivia Tuesday on the official RTC Facebook page? From what I have read it looks like they put out a trivia question on Tuesdays and whoever gets the answer right can request a group picture of their SR's division. They also post random photos but I don't know how often they do that. It would be awesome to see pictures of our SR's on the RTC page!

Comment by Smile09 AD/HM Mom on September 15, 2013 at 2:52pm: Sooo, no phone call from SR, but that is OK! I was uplifted and happy for all of you who did receive calls:) Nice to see some good activity in this group. Such a roller coaster! We are presently trying to budget out all the travel expenses for our trip from FL. I will say, for those of you who have not been to PIR before, we stayed at the Ramada last time and it was just awful. Just an FYI:)

Comment by diannep on September 15, 2013 at 2:43pm: Michael'sMom: Also try Residence Inn....they have studios... plus 2 bedroom 2 bath suites, full kitchens. We stayed there and enjoyed it. This would be Residence Inn Waukegan/Gurnee. 4 miles to RTC.

Comment by CatMom509 on September 15, 2013 at 2:39pm: Michael's Mom,

Did you also try Navy Lodge? They have similar rates and ask for a particular set-up (kitchenette, frig etc...) to see what they have available. You will need to book under your SR's name.

Comment by MommyLisa Ship 02 Div 951 on September 15, 2013 at 12:06pm: Daisy13=my daughter is on the same ship and division as your SR!! I agree, I am so glad she is able to perform! Have you received a call? I keep reading all these parents have gotten calls. I am kind of depressed I haven't.

Comment by MommyLisa Ship 02 Div 951 on September 15, 2013 at 11:51am: I got my letter last week. My daughter is on Ship 02 DIV 915 ans PIR 11/1. No phone calls yet. Can anyone tell me when calls usually come? Her recruiter told me usually Sundays.

Comment by EmilyD on September 15, 2013 at 11:23am: I'm with you, desmar9. My son is in div 417, ship 9 also!! So excited to get my letter yesterday!! My sons rating is hc(hospital corpsman). What's yours?
