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"

I have seen most of the door poster containing the new sailors last name.
Comment by Nicksmom on December 9, 2015 at 5:02pm

Lkeej they cannot wear civilian clothing or even have a cell phone.  My son can have his cell once he leaves for his school, but can't have civilian clothing until after the first 4 weeks of school.

Comment by Sonia B. on December 9, 2015 at 4:55pm
Thank you diannep! I thought I had read not to put their last names. Glad I asked! Sooo excited to leave early early tomorrow morning!
Comment by Ica'smom 1996 on December 9, 2015 at 2:29pm
Thanks Hanncam, Rae, Amanda, Diannep and everyone for your support!! My daughter was in div 42 and I don't know how many didn't pass on her division. But her call was so short it was like one minute because was a big line waiting for them to call. I'm just praying for her knees to heal on time for the next test.
Comment by diannep on December 9, 2015 at 2:21pm

Sonia:  We advise no sailors' last names to be on the outside hotel door decorations. 

Sorry, Pulliam.....I was in a hurry to get my 2 yr old grandson to school and was not careful about checking division numbers before posting that!  You and KarenLynn should be gettng calls today!

Comment by amanda on December 9, 2015 at 2:21pm

Comment by diannep on December 9, 2015 at 2:20pm

Oh my, KarenLynn.  So sorry about that!  Yes, of course 041 is included....was in a hurry this morning but the calls will be from 041-044!  Thanks for correcting me! 

Comment by Pulliam1991 on December 9, 2015 at 11:58am
What happened to 41. I was sure they would be in the next group of I'm a Sailor calls.
Comment by Sonia B. on December 9, 2015 at 10:14am
What should we NOT put on our Sailors hotel door signs? I know I saw it somewhere but I can't find it now. I thought I read not to put their name. Is that correct?
Comment by KarenLynn on December 9, 2015 at 9:24am
diannep - lets hope 41 is included in the "I'm a Sailor" call. I haven't heard anything yet.
