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."

~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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 26, 2013 at 9:00am: Happy Birthday outi :) I hope you have a great day and I hope you get that surprise call :)

Good morning everyone, I have missed you all so much!!! For some reason my computer HATES this website right now. I know I have a popup virus but for some reason it is affecting this site so much more than any others. It takes literally 20 to 30 min to get to the point that I can post a comment. I do have an appointment later this week to get it worked on thank goodness. If they can't get rid of all the bugs then I will have to bite the bullet and buy a new one. Happy early Christmas I guess lol. I was lucky enough to have my sailor/daughter and grand baby home for 4 days last weekend so that was awesome :) There are way too many pages to even try and catch up so please let me know if I missed anything :) If you ever need me and can't get me here on this site you can always email me at uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :) More bragging time lol, Looks like we have a redhead :)

Comment by outi on October 26, 2013 at 8:58am: It is my son's Birthday today,he said he did not want anyone to know over there......but maybe they will find out and let him call !!!! Good morning to all...it is always good to live in hope....

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2013 at 8:49am: Good Morning Everyone! Hope maybe some calls come in today!

Comment by iHeartmySailor⚓ on October 26, 2013 at 8:42am: Good morning all!

diannep- can you message me the date for 421.
Thank you! :)

Comment by diannep on October 25, 2013 at 5:51pm: Still a discrepancy on the date for 421/422 to do BattleStations. Thinking the earlier date I have received is the correct one since that is the day that the two first divisions in a PIR group normally start. The dates I have received are a day apart.
