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".

Thank You to everyone on N4M's. My heart is overflowing because of Gods greatness and his plans. So, so proud of these young men and women who have made this decision to serve their country. So thankful to share this with all of you awesome parents. Organizing and packing today, the countdown says 1 day 20 hours. That's ONE day and 20 hours! Here we are ladies! God Bless all of you! " Lord we ask your blessing upon our travels, our meet and greet and our Sailors as they graduate. As they go out from here to their next step protect them, cause them to excel and grow strong. Be with those remaining to do their PFA's and Battle Stations, grant them success we pray. We give you the glory Amen." See you soon!!!!!!!!!Yea!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by suzb on November 20, 2013 at 3:11pm: Congrats to all of the new sailors. I'm hoping for the ones who didn't pass to get that chance to pass.Looking forward to this weekend. It's been a long 8 weeks. It's still going to be hard after this weekend, but at least we can communicate by phone. Wishing everyone a safe trip to PIR. I got my ribbons from LaLa a couple of days ago. They are beautiful. Thank you LaLa and everone for the information and help getting through these past weeks. See ya at the meet and greet.

Comment by diannep on November 20, 2013 at 12:36pm: Div 802 calls expected this afternoon!

Comment by diannep on November 20, 2013 at 9:50am: Those who did not complete BattleStations should be able to before PIR. Prayers for others who may be trying to still pass their PFA!

BattleStations are every night this week, and they can even go again on Thurs night if necessary (tired, but at PIR).

Good Morning! Safe travel today!
