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 nlover4real on November 8, 2015 at 7:10pm: Is it groups on here for A School I would really like to join it is

Comment by diannep on November 8, 2015 at 6:53pm: Thanks for all of the responses, ladies. mimi, glad you were able to use the driving hint without an issue. TheRocksMom....maybe mimi and hubby were able to use the hint since they followed a shuttle? Not sure, but we are not passing out the driving hint info anymore until we know it is still being allowed. But glad it worked for mimi and family and that others got in the regular way without an issue.

Thanks again for sharing info! By the way, on the comment about the recruiters passing along this site to their recruits for the families during Bootcamp, some do, some do not. My son's did not....although he COULD have told my son and he didn't tell me. My son signed up in another city where he was living at the time....so I never met his recruiter. But I know that some pass out the info. I happened to find this site by googling! Sure was glad I did when my son was up there!

Comment by CatMom509 on November 8, 2015 at 6:32pm: Love reading about all your wonderful PIR experiences!!

Comment by CatMom509 on November 8, 2015 at 6:23pm: Blessed Sunday!

     "Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest

       is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the

       Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out

       workers into His harvest field.' "

Comment by Tierney'smom on November 8, 2015 at 4:12pm: We stayed at the Days Inn since no room at Navy Lodge. Location is great, very close to base which made it easy to get her since she stayed in Great Lakes for A school (5 minutes away).They just painted Days Inn so it was for the most part clean. Front desk was very friendly and they offered a continental breakfast which was ok. They do offer a shuttle to PIR but we didn't use it. Only problem we had was toilet didn't work right. Maintenance was called but never showed. If your on a budget not a bad place to stay.
