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."

CLICK MEforN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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 outi on November 4, 2013 at 5:09pm: All passed...divisions 425-426

Comment by Grayce on November 4, 2013 at 4:29pm: Of course, I knew that. *embarassed*

Since that can't be posted here, if there is are families from Div 425 or 426 who can't make it to PIR, please send a message. We'll be happy to pass along any information or hugs.

outi - AMEN!

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2013 at 3:04pm: Grayce: We can't post the SR's/Sailors last names here, but they can be private messaged.

Comment by outi on November 4, 2013 at 2:45pm: Why oh why is the clock so slow.......

Comment by Grayce on November 4, 2013 at 1:55pm: I've been so anxoius today waiting to hear something. I thought about them all night and just about couldn't sleep. Watching the clock isn't helping...

I've asked our SR if there's anyone from his Div (425) or from 426 whose family can't come for PIR, but he's written such short letters, I never did find out. If there's anyone that's heard anything can it be posted on here? Or in the Ship discussions above? I really would hate for one of these Sailors to be alone on their Graduation day, they've worked so hard...

Comment by kirty89 on November 4, 2013 at 1:19pm: @leana..... I know exactly how you feel , the waiting is driving me crazy and since we didn't get a letter this past week it has been especially hard, can't wait to hear his voice!

Comment by Queencity on November 4, 2013 at 12:50pm: If 423 won the captains cup, does that also include 424 since they were intergrated?

Comment by sunshinefam on November 4, 2013 at 12:12pm: @catmom509. Thx for the weather info. Because I live in nyc, 40 & 50 degree weather is not really cold. The same weather reports are expected in Great Lakes. But I heard its real cold there and I should take a heavy weather clothes. I just don't want to over pack.
