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 Carrie on October 17, 2015 at 10:48am: My son is in Div 374 - he told me he does the blood drive on 10/19. Will have to check back on the blood drive page Monday and Tuesday :) hoping to get a glimpse of him!!!! Fingers crossed. That would completely make my week!

Comment by TheRocksmom on October 17, 2015 at 7:52am: Good morning, yes where? I tried to find it :(

Comment by mommacnavy on October 17, 2015 at 1:20am: Garry'smom- woo hoo! So exciting, right?! I saw my SR on there too, made my week! :)

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2015 at 9:48pm: Yep, Captains Cup is on Oct 31st for this PIR group.

Comment by Joyce6 on October 16, 2015 at 9:29pm: Carrie thanks for the detailed update, my son is in div 374 also, good to know all that they are going thru. Have a wonderful weekend!

Comment by Carrie on October 16, 2015 at 7:28pm: Good afternoon everyone. Wanted to share with everyone on here some information my SR shared with me in his letter I got today. This is a rundown of day by day things so I figured I'd share in case some were not aware.

10/14 - Live firing range at 0530

10/15 - Graduation photos and 10/19 - blood drive

10/20 haircuts and 10/21 Division photos

10/22 Firefighting I and 10/23 Firefighting II

10/24 Captains Cup and 10/26 Team Firefighting

10/27 Final PFA and 10/28 Firefighting application

10/31 Captains cup. I am not sure why - but captains cup is listed twice in his rundown of his schedule of "important stuff". Aside from the that being listed twice which I am questioning - gives an insight for the rest of the month going up to the last week of of BC - in which Battlestations should be going on that final week at some point. He is happier than in his last letter now that they are learning more things. His division was able to "moore a ship" on 10/8 in 19:30 (time limit was 25:00). WTG Div 374!!! Oh yea, and he said they get new sheets every thursday for their rack and he mentioned that he loves getting the new sheets and making his bed up - and laughed at the fact that he never thought the day would come where clean bed sheets got him excited. Just a small glimpse of what they are doing :) Enjoy!

Comment by Amazing4 on October 16, 2015 at 5:46pm: Mountainmom... I know the feeling my SR finally tried calling on Monday and because I was at work I could not answer. I was crushed! Fortunately his dad speak with him. He was in good spirits as well... but I wish Ihad heard it for myself

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 16, 2015 at 5:27pm: I still wear my cell çlipped to my shirt/bra strap. Trying to break the habit as my new purse has a pocket for it. I just wore it that way for so long. Hubby was deployed while son was BC. He came home but then son was in A school for four months after that. So I wore it that way for a year.
