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 diannep on March 4, 2015 at 12:32am: HerProudMomma: Not sure when 109/110 go through. But my guess would be early next week.

Comment by HerProudMomma on March 4, 2015 at 12:14am: Thank you Lala Ribbon Queen. Have to go appear in person at DMV here in Colorado and I don't think we'll have time prior to leaving next week. He should be able to get a new School ID, but just in case he forgets I wanted to make sure the passport was acceptable.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 3, 2015 at 11:57pm: Have you checked the expiration on your photo ID? What about the others going with you? We had a mom a few months ago who got to the airport and could not leave for PIR because her license had expired. She had to leave, go to the DMV, get it renewed, go back to the airport and pay for another ticket later in the day. A very expensive ticket. Not Flying? You will still need it to get into PIR and they won't except one that has expired. So please make sure you check yours and have everyone going check theirs as well.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 3, 2015 at 11:56pm: A Passport should be fine HerProudMomma, but he should be able to go and apply for a replacement of his drivers license or ID. In some states you can get a replacement online but it may not come before you leave. If you go to the DMV the paper copy saying he has applied should work as well.

Comment by HerProudMomma on March 3, 2015 at 11:52pm: Diannep - do you know when Battlestations will be for Ship 12 Div 109?

Comment by HerProudMomma on March 3, 2015 at 11:47pm: Does anyone know if Passports are acceptable forms of ID at RTC? I would think they would be. My teenage son lost his wallet recently.

Comment by Navy⚓️Mom⚓️jjen on March 3, 2015 at 9:43pm: Thanks again diannep! Hopefully I will get a letter this week. We have been getting them on Thursday's. He usually tells me what they have finished and what they are about to do.

Comment by Yoanka on March 3, 2015 at 9:26pm: someone received a call from her sailor?

Comment by diannep on March 3, 2015 at 8:25pm: NavyMomjjen: I see your SR is in Div 112. That division will not be doing BattleStations until next week....in fact, they will be the last division (along with their brother division) to go through. Expect an I'm a Sailor call by mid-week that week at the latest!
