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 Rick on September 28, 2013 at 9:44am: I just got off the phone with my sweetheart!!! It was so good to hear to hear her voice

Comment by asantiago61 on September 28, 2013 at 8:17am: Good morning everyone! I'm so grateful for this site. My son is in ship 11 Div 001. He left on 9/16. I never receive'd the phone call telling me he got there. I received the box and the letter a week later. The 1st week I was a hot mess until I got the box. Now I'm anxiously waiting for that phone call. It helps me to know that I'm not the only mom feeling this way, other people just don't understand.

Comment by Craig on September 28, 2013 at 2:08am: TG = Training Group. It's basically every division that trains together and that PIR's on the same date.

Comment by Marianne K ~ Ship 14 Div 005 on September 27, 2013 at 11:45pm: what does TG stand for?

Comment by diannep on September 27, 2013 at 11:14pm: This PIR group will be the 1st one of the new Navy fiscal year! That is why your division numbers are so low (compared to the 400's which are the division numbers in the PIR group ahead of you). They start the TG (training group) numbers and division numbers all over again. So...you are Training Group 001!
