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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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 Anchor6 on November 25, 2013 at 8:19pm: Yes, welcome!!! I got the box also, but of course, wasn't here when it was delivered!

Comment by bikerbabe55 on November 25, 2013 at 8:12pm: Hi All! My SR left last Tues. and we got our box today WAHOO!!

We dont have our letter yet but think that this must be the PIR date... Is it OK to land here until I read otherwise or we get our letter telling us differently?

Comment by skeeter on November 25, 2013 at 7:39pm: Hi all! Got the box AND the letter today! I am so proud of my son. Looking forward to being in this group with y'all. My son is also 800 division.

Comment by diannep on November 25, 2013 at 4:46pm: Another N4Moms veteran mom here to help! I have been working on the PIR group pages now since early 2010. Love helping you all....so much so that my sailor is now out of the Navy, but I stay on here! :-) Please be sure to check the pages section at the top/to the right on this page under the MEMBERS PHOTO BOX. Read through that info. If you have any questions after reading that info, please post them here.

Welcome to Navy Bootcamp...an emotionally up and down rollercoaster but one that has a spectacular ending! :-)

Comment by Anchor6 on November 25, 2013 at 3:23pm: Got the letter!! It's crazy, but I was just excited to see his handwriting! :) Confirmed what the recruiter had told me.

Comment by CatMom509 on November 25, 2013 at 2:15pm: Good Morning Friends!!

Comment by Proud2BSure on November 25, 2013 at 12:36pm: I received my SR's letter Saturday, nearly gave the mailman a heart attack! I was so excited to have an address to send letters, and his Bday card to. I feel a bit calmer, just knowing I have a way to get in touch, even if it's only letters, and I have a date, I know I will see him!

Thank you all for being such a great support!

Comment by Anchor6 on November 25, 2013 at 12:13pm: So glad to be in this group!! Praying for each of your recruits this day. Mine is in the 800 div as well.

Comment by ellen0502 on November 25, 2013 at 11:08am: Good morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on November 25, 2013 at 4:15am: Hi!

Welcome to Navy for Moms!!

My Sailor Daughter's PIR was just this March 2013. She is an IT (Information Systems Technician) stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. I primarily provide scriptural encouragement for the PIR groups, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and a few of the other groups that I am a member of. I'll also help out with anything that I am familiar with--all kinds of tidbits I learned during my daughter's Boot Camp experience~~ This site really made the time go much faster. I'm so thankful that my Sailor daughter sent me the link for this awesome group of friends when she enlisted!! Count 9 Fridays and before you know it, you'll be seeing your baby again at PIR!! Here we go!!!
