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"

My SR called today - NOT the "I'm a sailor call" - they just went to the NEXX and he wanted to talk. He confirmed that he will be calling tomorrow around 14:00 :)

Comment by Lis on May 25, 2015 at 7:41pm
Also what time is meet n greet and where..I went thru everyones comments but did not see this info.
Comment by Lis on May 25, 2015 at 7:38pm
I am patiently waiting for the "I am a sailer" call. My son is in Div 929. Has anyone heard if they are going thru BSs tonight?
Comment by diannep on May 25, 2015 at 2:33pm

Sorry about the confusion on BattleStations.  MY ERROR!  Nope, none went through last night, some go through tonight and the rest tomorrow night, from the info I received.  I'm SO sorry to have caused confusion on here....URGH!  Didn't mean to get hopes up.  I was thinking today was Tuesday (wishful thinking) rather than Monday!  UGH! 

So no worries today....start waiting for calls starting tomorrow afternoon for some of you.  And yes, the calls come in on the day they finish....12 hr overnight drill....

Again, so very sorry!

denisef:  No, it is not necessary to be there when the bus arrives.  The sailors will take a while to process through the check in area....and then will be hanging out in the USO.  Many are able to borrow a cell phone from another family there to see their sailor....and can call you to let you know what is going on.  Yes, they do leave in the wee hours of the morning for the airports to wait for flights for Saturday....the first flights usually leave around 6 a.m. or so....but they can go all day long. 

From what we have heard, your sailor will need to be with you to get the airlines gate pass  but we have never heard that to be a problem.  Are you going to Sarge's MeetandGreet?  If so, he will answer alot of these questions and better explain the airport situation. 

And, we never mind answering questions as many times as necessary to make sure everyone has their info!  :-)

Comment by denisef on May 25, 2015 at 1:07pm

To meet up with our sailor at the airport, is it necessary to be there at the same time their bus arrives? Must  our sailor be present for us to get the pass to wait go to gate with them?  I understand that they leave RTC very early in the morning.Sorry if this has been addressed here already, I usually read the posts daily, have not checked in for a couple of days.
