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 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"

Comment by TexasmomShip13 on February 27, 2015 at 1:20pm: Hello y'all!

We received a whole page letter from our son yesterday! Usually it is only half a page.

He did the Marlin Spike and had fun doing that and he just sounded so upbeat. He doesn't like his 2 of his RDC's but likes the Chief. To be expected, RDC's wouldn't be doing their job if everyone liked them.

He's glad bc is almost over. Me too! I can't wait for PIR, I have a countdown app going.

Comment by CatMom509 on February 27, 2015 at 4:09am: CTI Hubby,

So glad your SR wife is A-OK!! What a talent to just be able to learn any new language~ Totally a blessing to just be together wherever she gets stationed!!

Comment by JHubby on February 27, 2015 at 12:46am: Got a letter from my wife today! She confirmed that medical cleared her, so no ASMO!! She said "only three Saturdays left! It sounds shorter than 25 days!" haha. I also found out she was assigned Arabic (standard) for her language, so she was a little bummed since she couldn't get Korean or Chinese like she wanted, but she is still excited to even get to learn a tough language. This means after Monterey, she will be stationed in GA (Korean and Chinese are in Hawaii). The CTI that held the "class" said in her 16 year career as CTI, she's been on a ship for a total of 22 weeks. This makes me very happy! As long as we're together, it will be better than Hawaii <3

Comment by diannep on February 26, 2015 at 9:52am: Good Morning!

Comment by JHubby on February 26, 2015 at 2:39am: Thank you dianeep! 4-5 miles doesn't seem too bad. I was just late to the game, not knowing if she was going to get ASMO'd. I'll check those hotels out :)

Lala, I'm in Memphis and we got some snow, but just South of us in Mississippi got hammered (for the South, mind you)!
