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."

CLICK ME forN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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".

The Weather Widget is interactive. Click the green dot on the top bar and drag it along the to change the time. Click LIVE to go back to current time. Click on the days to change to that day or expand out to six days.

Comment by Irishgryeyes on December 21, 2012 at 9:42am: Ok I am way out of the loop thanks to work, being sick, taking care of my mom and dad, and family flying in for christmas. If someone could message me the BS date for 13/042 I would greatly Appreciate it. Thanks :)

Comment by diannep on December 21, 2012 at 8:49am: ...also, be checking their Facebooks because many will get on that if they are waiting for the phones!

Comment by diannep on December 21, 2012 at 8:48am: Hmmm....Ingrid. Not sure what he meant by "running BattleStations" unless he meant that since he passed everything, he would get to do it. 039/040 should be finishing up BattleStations in the next hour or so. Calls this afternoon, so phones "in the bras" to make sure you don't miss this very special call today!

Good Morning Ladies!

Comment by rotorwife67 on December 21, 2012 at 8:20am: Ingrid. Thanks for sharing your letter. My son is same ship/div and I haven't heard from him in weeks.

Comment by Ingrid on December 21, 2012 at 12:35am: ot a letter from son in 03/div 040. My son is in this division. Got a VERY short letter today. Letter dated Dec. 16th. They had gas chamber on the 17th. My son said they don't have much time to write and are VERY BUSY. My son said he is getting to run battle station. Not sure what that means by running it. They are ALL getting excite for graduation. That is all he said. Hope this helps. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERY ONE.

Comment by Zman'smom on December 21, 2012 at 12:17am: Thank you diannep for that info. I was most worried about my SR's final PFA and so was he. I didn't hear anything today, so no news IS good news!! He is in Div 039. I keep praying for them!

Comment by diannep on December 21, 2012 at 12:16am: Correct, Kimberley: They normally don't start before 2 pm GL time, but can come in later.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 21, 2012 at 12:12am: It's not uncommon to go through battle stations a couple nights before PIR. We often have families on their way there for PIR before they get the call. It sure can be stressful though.
