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"

Navy Lodge is on a busy throughfare with no pedestrian access to RTC. You will need to drive your car or take a shuttle. Navy Lodge has its own shuttle to PIR too~~

Comment by CatMom509 on September 29, 2015 at 3:27pm: Hello All!

     "The sun will no more be your light by day,

       nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you,

       for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and

       Your God will be your glory."

                                                        Isaiah 60:19

Comment by TraG151 on September 29, 2015 at 2:57pm: I did send him a phone card but I don't know if he would have got it yet. He has his black book too with phone numbers. I know if he was given the chance he would I just worry why he hasn't. But I have hanging strong I got 10 letters on Friday! They were amazing I just want to hear him. His Birthday is the 6th so hopefully then!! Thank you guys it means more than you know!

Comment by TheRocksmom on September 29, 2015 at 2:26pm: Good afternoon! I have a question if your staying at the Navy Lodge, can you walk to PIR? or do you need to take Taxi or Shuttle? TraG151, did you send pre paid telephne cards with him? I know they can buy them there, but maybe you can write him and send one in with letter. Nor sure where you live but walgreens has them called "PennyTalk" or you can go online and order them. Hang in there, I know sounds crazy, but these kids used too cell phones so they don't have to remember numbers?? I bought small address book and filled out for my son before he left. Not sure if I would have gotten call if I didn't. (embarrased to say).. and YES THANKS TO ALL OF THE ADMIN/MODERATORS... I would be in straight jack by now.

Good Morning!

Comment by Momma8480 on September 29, 2015 at 3:44am: So glad to see I'm not the only one awake and checking my phone!!!! ;)

Comment by CatMom509 on September 29, 2015 at 2:48am: Gals,

You're so welcome!!

Comment by CatMom509 on September 29, 2015 at 2:47am: I did the same thing as diannep. Left my rental car at the hotel and had Sarge pick me up at 6:30 am and we arrived at RTC about 6:45 am (after he picked up other peeps at nearby hotels), dropped us off at the gate, walked about 50 yards to the graduation hall entrance. By the time we got inside, we were able to get the last 2 seats in the lower bleachers against the wall (for leaning on) in my Sailor daughter's division section, which is clearly marked by signs and sharp Sailors standing by them. Then we caught a Sarge shuttle back in the lot to the right of the NEX. My Sailor got to ride back to our hotel free and I knew she wanted to make a pitstop at the hotel before we headed out to get something to eat~~

The graduation hall is supposed to open at 7:00 am, but they actually open the doors earlier. If I had to do it all over again, I would have had Sarge pick us up more like 6:15 am. But at least we got to eat at the Holiday Inn Express' hot serve yourself breakfast which opened at 6:00 am on PIR day~~
