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."

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"

Comment by Linda on October 22, 2015 at 9:43pm: FYI - We received a real handwritten letter today! It is my husbands birthday so the timing was perfect. It was odd though that the pages were numbered, and I received pages 6 and 7. I'm hoping the first part is just in another set of envelopes. My son said that we could send small care packages. Has anybody sent one and if so, do you know what we are allowed to send? He is requesting hand cream, as his knuckles are getting really dried from having a job outside in the cold. He is also requesting a calendar and says that all items must be small enough to fit into his personal items drawer. I hope you are also reading your mail over and over, and if you haven't got your letter yet, keep the faith...it's on it's way!

Comment by Cameronsmom on October 22, 2015 at 9:41pm: Hi--just found this site that shows ratings and prices of hotels--Im going to call and see if they offer better discounts (calling hotel directly)--AARP or AAA can also get discounts, if your company you work for has a corporate discount program with the hotels---all ways to save. This site shows hotels near military bases..and it tells you which ones are not recommended.

Comment by diannep on October 22, 2015 at 7:41pm: KaelaW: The ship number is their barracks number....seems odd the recruiter has the ship number but not the division number? I hope you get the form letter soon.

Comment by Selly on October 22, 2015 at 6:53pm: Got my letters from my daughter today! Super happy that she's doing good and in good spirits.
