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 vnllamom on September 28, 2015 at 3:39pm: "I dont understand why my sons PIR date difffers from others that shipped 9/22. It thought it would be 11/20/15. He has 11/13/15 written in his form letter. Can anyone explain?"

Comment by diannep on September 28, 2015 at 2:16pm: Ship number indicates their barracks number. There are various divisions in there, not all from this PIR group. The division number is the group they train with, but they also train with their brother divisions.

Comment by Texasmom on September 28, 2015 at 2:12pm: When they call ,will it be from 847 area code, or will they be using calling cards if they took calling cards with them? Will it still show up as 847 area code?

Comment by Texasmom on September 28, 2015 at 2:11pm: I see on previous comment bout 250 min phone card. That's good info. But I'll have to figure out how many min his $20 cards had on them.

Comment by Texasmom on September 28, 2015 at 2:08pm: So do they have to pay for calk? I sent two $20 phone cards with him. Should I send more in mail? I read someone got to talk to their SR for one hour. Fantastic. Wonder how much that costs. Want to make sure he has enough.

Comment by diannep on September 28, 2015 at 2:08pm: Texasmom: Even with the calling cards, it should show up as the 847 area code. However, if they make a "supervised need info" call, beware that it could be another Chicago area code....so we advise you all to answer ALL phone calls while your SR is in Bootcamp....just in case! Just get rid of the spam calls quickly!

Comment by Texasmom on September 28, 2015 at 2:06pm: When they call ,will it be from 847 area code, or will they be using calling cards if they took calling cards with them? Will it still show up as 847 area code?
