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."

Comment by lemonelephant on December 14, 2013 at 1:00am: The default Privacy Setting on N4M is "Anyone." That means that ANYONE with access to the web has access to everything on your My Page. To change that, make change number 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile), While you are there, read the Page and see if there are other changes you need to make.

Comment by boocoo on December 9, 2013 at 11:59pm: redoctober, I wish we would have met each other. I was there too. It was very good!!! I was very impressed and so proud of our Sailors!!!

Comment by redoctober on December 7, 2013 at 9:18am: Went to my son' MA graduation. It was outstanding. They also had a tribute to the men and women who lost their lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was deeply moving. If you Navy MA Mom's can afford to go to this graduation ceremony, go! It was very personal and the staff was excellent, and they really did appreciate the families that can and do attend the ceremony. It was well done!

Comment by boocoo on November 29, 2013 at 11:05pm: Calikay, your son must be graduating same date as my son! We will be there next week for his graduation. He has his orders and will be coming back home with us till he ships out.

Comment by lemonelephant on November 29, 2013 at 10:52pm: Calikay, the Sailors don't leave San Antonio until they have orders.

Comment by Jan341 on November 29, 2013 at 10:42pm: My sailor's graduation is next week and he said there were only 3 in his whole class that haven't yet gotten their orders. He is one of them. He said he may get them the day before graduation or he may be on hold for a while. He said it was a processing hold up. He wants to come home after graduation for leave, does anyone know if this hold up could affect his leave time?

Comment by lbtgmom on November 29, 2013 at 8:19pm: When do they normally get their orders?

Comment by sacsocmom on November 28, 2013 at 12:16am: I wanted to get some info on Riverine. Does anyone know about that job ?
Thanks

Comment by Victor's Mom on November 27, 2013 at 11:42pm: Lemonelephant~ Thank you! I thought that might be the case.

iheartmysailor~ my son's roommate is going to Bahrain as a Riverine. He chose his orders.

So if we have Verizon we should be ok? Need to check on the rates though.

Two weeks and my Son graduates A school in TX and then he comes home, YAY! I am going to spoil the snot out of him for two weeks before he leaves for Sigonella :) I can't wait!!!
