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 heart just skipped a beat aaj. Thank you for the heads up. Does anyone have the link to the navy lodge. The letter I reviewed for PIR 9/18 stated they was no lodging for us. I am confused now. Thank you in advanced.

Amy, I've never been so happy to see his handwriting! I've written a few letters ( from my kids) .. My whole family miss him so much! He's their favorite uncle..since he lived with us, my kids ask where he is every day.. (They 2 and 4 years old). . We can't wait to see him on 9/18!!

Hey everyone, I want to give you a "HEADS UP" to be prepared to possibly receive calls from your SRs this weekend! The call will show up as "847", "Waukegan, IL", "Pay Phone", or "Government" or anything else that may be unfamiliar. If it is a sales call, just politely tell them "No, thank you." Please also let your family members know about this too~~

When you do receive a call, could you please post which division is calling also, so other moms/loved ones know to expect a call? Now if anyone in that division doesn't receive a call, it could be your SR is on watch and it is up to the RDCs on whether that SR gets to make-up the call~~

During this time in Boot Camp, please keep your cell phones charged, ready, and with you all the time---upstairs, downstairs, out in the backyard, in the bathroom, out to get the mail, of course, out on errands. If you are going to a loud restaurant or a movie theater, remember to put it on "vibrate" and put in your pocket or some place you can feel it. They can call during the week or weekend, so just be prepared: 6:00 am - 6:00 pm (Pacific/West Coast); 7:00 am - 7:00 pm (Mountain time); 8:00 am - 8:00 pm (Central/Great Lakes time); 9:00 am - 9:00 pm (Eastern Coast).

diannep, thank you:)  we will try to stay that night too

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2015 at 11:52pm

Claudia:  So very sorry.  Thank your SR for being willing to serve his country!  So appreciated!  Prayers that he is home soon and onto his next journey in his life!

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2015 at 11:50pm

Amanda:  Those staying in GL for A School have Daytime Liberty through Sunday, with return to that base each night at about 8 or 9 pm so it would be a good idea for you to plan to stay Sunday night if possible!

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2015 at 11:49pm

End76:  Some appreciate the stamps/paper/envelopes to write on....my son didn't want them when there as he was writing on the Navy stationery and only writing to family so didn't need much.  So it depends on your SR, but it wouldn't hurt to send some!  If by some chance your SR is not a big writer or had already purchased writing supplies, they can pass this on to someone else.  You can always write in a letter and ask if they would like for you to send this before doing it.

And I agree with all of you that the handwriting is so neat!! My son is a lefty so his writing has always been bad..I was so impressed when I received my letter
Comment by amy1975 on July 31, 2015 at 11:44pm
