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."

for
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".

Ladies,

Remember there are many groups here at Navy for Moms for you to follow your Sailor on this Navy path.  All kinds of groups for A school, C school, ratings (jobs), bases, ships, states, regional, twins/multiple, and the Christian Chat group that I am a member of~~

Friends,

     "We know that God causes all things

       to work together for good

       to those who love Him,

       to those who are called

       according to His purpose.

                        Romans 8:28

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families!!  Continued blessings on your Navy journey~~

Comment by diannep on November 15, 2013 at 9:24am

mimi:  Yes, your sailors get Liberty after PIR.  If moving over to GL A School , that will take several hours (shortly after PIR is over) and then you pick them up for Liberty over there.  All must return to base at night.

Happy PIR Day!  Hope that many of you are in the PIR Hall now...Enjoy this very special day!

Safe travel today, all.  Don't forget the MeetandGreet tonight.  Have questions for Sarge readt, but he is pretty thorough in covering everything.  He should give you this hint about driving to PIR.  If you elect to drive rather than take a shuttle (area shuttles booked by hotels or Sarge's--$3/pp each)....you stay to the left on Buckley as you are approaching RTC....line of cars to get onto base will be on your right.  PASS RTC!  Turn around at the train station which is just past RTC.  Head back towards RTC from the opposite direction.  Easy left turn into RTC...no waiting!

Shuttles bypass the line of cars too.  Some who drive may decide to park off-base at the train station and walk the 3/4 mile to RTC...especially if they plan to take the train into Chicago after PIR...they are right there then.  No traffic to deal with.

Good Morning!
