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 BoomMom on October 11, 2013 at 6:03pm: Lastly, if you are interested having a name tag, send your N4M name, Ship and Division... Could be fun. Looking forward to hugging all of my support system (could take a while)..

Comment by 21anne on October 11, 2013 at 6:00pm: Blstz822- That is GREAT news!!

Comment by ABitofWhimsy (Ship03 Div021) on October 11, 2013 at 5:57pm: Hi BoomMom, We are also staying at the Navy Lodge. Thank you for offering to make name tags. I would love to put faces to the screen names. How do we sign up to go to the Meet and Greet? And you got a letter? A real letter? When did your son get there? I would LOVE to get a letter. Have a good weekend!

Comment by BoomMom on October 11, 2013 at 5:49pm: OK... So, ladies. If you would like, for all of us staying at the Navy Lodge Great Lakes (we are there Tuesday-Sunday), IF you would all like to touch in with me that you ARE staying there, I will print and bring name badges (with our N4M names :) to the hotel that we can wear to the Meet & Greet so we know who we all are. Anyone interested? I'm not hard to spot (or maybe harder than most), as I am 4'10" :) long brown hair, so might either stick out, or not be seen :-) Happy to bring labels... Just let me know.

I feel so much better after getting his letter, albeit he sounded home sick. He will suck it up though, just like we have to. Congrats to all those who received letters and those who had graduates today. Ladies, 1 week down :) Have a lovely weekend.

Comment by Nate's Mom on October 11, 2013 at 5:14pm: I got the form letter today! It is confirmed that he is Ship 02 Div 903! So excited to get it! We have booked the hotel and are Counting Down!

Comment by HeidiFig on October 11, 2013 at 4:39pm: Hello Everyone, I just received the letter for finance. I'm excited because now I have an idea when I will see and I can't sending him mail. I am new to this forum and Im hoping to get some helpful information for getting ready for PIR.

Comment by diannep on October 11, 2013 at 4:31pm: He will, 21anne!

Comment by 21anne on October 11, 2013 at 4:27pm: WooHoo I finally got the letter! The only thing wrong that the recruiter gave me was the last 4 on the zip. I hope he still gets the letters that were already sent! I'm sure he will.

Now to start wishing time away! 27 Nov can't come fast enough!!
