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."

forN4M'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 Angie on October 23, 2013 at 11:58am: Good morning all from sunny CA!! Yippy only 22 ore days until PIR and 20 until I will be in IL, can't wait!!

Comment by ellen0502 on October 23, 2013 at 11:53am: Cynthiajb, I can't find the other number so here is the number to the PAO. Tell them what the problem is, if they can't help you they will give you the number to call. 847 688 2405

Comment by ellen0502 on October 23, 2013 at 11:36am: Cynthiajb, You should have received his box by now, so a couple of questions. Did your son have a cell phone when he got to RTC? If he didn't, is it possible he donated his clothes? Could he have sent the box to someone else?

There is a number to call to track it down, but in all my stuff I can't seem to find it quickly. I will post it as soon as I find it. :)

Comment by Edie on October 23, 2013 at 11:13am: Yes you should have gotten your srs box by now.

Comment by Cynthiajb on October 23, 2013 at 10:17am: I have not received the box of my son's things. Should I have gotten that by now? Ship 14 Div 005.

Comment by daizygirl72 on October 23, 2013 at 10:07am: good morning!! 22 days left!! Whooooo hooooooo!!!!

Comment by Edie on October 23, 2013 at 9:08am: I read all the time rdc leaders threaten srs with this and never follow thru. If this would have happened to us I would be upset too.
So I asked my sailor if he actually heard of rdc leaders say this and he said never.

Comment by diannep on October 23, 2013 at 8:44am: GG/Jessica: I agree! But we have no "say so"! :-) Maybe they are trying to teach the SRs that the Navy is "the boss" and can change things are they want to/need to which is very true. But so far, they have not messed with the number of guests allowed in a PIR group.

Good Morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on October 23, 2013 at 5:49am: You're welcome, Angie!

Comment by GG Ship 13 Div 007 on October 23, 2013 at 5:34am: Ok thanks. I wrote to him saying that the RDC 'a like to mess around about how many guests they are able to bring. I find that very wrong to mess around with graduation. We are trying so hard to prepare for this special day and for them to mess around with our plans is not right.
