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 CP-KW-1986 11/255 & 11/284 on October 10, 2013 at 2:27pm: Oh Cody's mom - you just made my day ;) I know I will have a letter when I get home, but so happy to hear they all did well on inspections and earned the 2nd flag ;)

Comment by MachelMMmom on October 10, 2013 at 2:18pm: Good afternoon all :) What a wonderful day. Received a letter from my SR today and also received the coin I ordered for her graduation. Codysmomship13, glad to hear that your son and his div is doing well and that you also got a letter. I'm starting to really like Thursdays also known as letter day.

Comment by Cody'sMomship13div412 on October 10, 2013 at 1:31pm: Got my letter today. He's doing well. Counting the days still until graduation. Said his division all did well on inspections and they earned their 2nd flag. He said they were all so pumped up about that. Said they had live weapon training this past week and hell week is over, which he was very happy about. Also said they were having a test yesterday with another chance to win a flag.Sounds like the division is doing much much better!! Hope everyone else received more letters today! 21 DAYS!!!!

Comment by MachelMMmom on October 10, 2013 at 1:23pm: Thanks Diannep, will be giving him a call.

Comment by MachelMMmom on October 10, 2013 at 1:14pm: Congrats proud mom Daemship, that's great. And as far as the shuttle at the Quality Inn. I think I'll call Sarge and see about his shuttles.

Comment by BKNavyMom Ship3 DIV416 on October 10, 2013 at 11:46am: In exactly 21 days I/we will be PIR bound! Feeling so giddy with excitement! Go NAVY!! HOOYAH!! ;) Good Morning all....

Comment by Dmaeship12div410 on October 10, 2013 at 8:54am: My SR did the weapon test. He scored a 90% with the pistol and he didn't do very well with the shot gun. He said they are down to 82 recruits now. He's getting more used to boot camp it's more of a routine now. He ran the mile and a half in 9:55. He has always loved running. We r so proud of him his scores are 5's and 4's. I can't wait to get that I'm a Sailor phone call I'm going to lose it when he calls.

Comment by Dmaeship12div410 on October 10, 2013 at 8:47am: Machel, 6:45? damn we need to leave sooner then that with having such a big graduation ceremony. We are staying at Quality Inn in Waukegan also.

Comment by diannep on October 10, 2013 at 8:40am: Sarge cell: 847 212 0246 email: johnspadaro@att.net

Machel: Sarge may be able to take you earlier on his shuttle. Same price. Contact info above. We left at 6:30 on the shuttle...would do it the same way again!
