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."

WELCOME to PIR 01/18/2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.

CLICK ME forN4M'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 D'sMomMary on December 9, 2012 at 11:14pm: Tx, you crack me up! Lala, That is so fan-dippity-tastic!

Comment by TxNavyDad on December 9, 2012 at 10:56pm: YES Lala...We did get to chat for about 15 mins this afternoon on FB PM. Oddly enuff, he is looking forward to the snow that is headed to GL.

Since he's a South Texas boy and we don't git muchin dat stuff down hea.. he was looking fo it fo sho. I tink ma boi will be fine as longin he done gotta shuvel non of it...

If y'all can follow what I just said and understand it, y'all have Texas roots and don't know it. ;D

He feels he should be meeting with legal by wed and then find out what's what and hopefully when he's "Leavin on a jet plane... Can't wait to get to home agane..."

I'm getting crazier than normal now... I'm toast.. I need some sleep...

Noooo... I need my sailor!! That's what I need...

Night all. Y'all are in my prayers right beside my son.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 9, 2012 at 10:44pm: lol TxNavyDad, you crack me up. Thanks so much for the laugh :) Did you get to talk to your recruit this weekend? How are things going? Any word on when he will be home?

Comment by TxNavyDad on December 9, 2012 at 10:26pm: @Lala... AWESOME!!! THAT is a seriously awesome report lady!! I'm so glad she is doing better. When two or more are gathered in my name...

Seems to me like the petitions were heard and obviously acted on. I'm so glad she is doing better as well as you. So both prayers are being answered.

THAT'S the way uh-huh uh-huh... I like it... uh-huh -uh-huh...

(a little Sunshine from KC and our Lord there)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 9, 2012 at 10:14pm: You guys are making me cry. i don't know what I would do without my Navy family :) You all are so kind and your prayers are very much appreciated and they are working. God is good all the time!!! They kept her on clear liquids for a little more than 12 hours and she kept it down. Then she had dry toast and jello for lunch and kept that down even though she felt a little sick she kept it down. They kept giving her clear liquids and of course the IV fluids. She had some soup earlier this evening and so far has kept it down. She said she is feeling much better now that she is hydrated and she hasn't thrown up since she arrived at the hospital yesterday afternoon. So that is great. So glad she is feeling better. They are in the process of releasing her right now :) Prayer is a wonderful thing and we appreciate them and all of you so very much.

Comment by BeeBee (Son at GL A School) on December 9, 2012 at 9:23pm: Lala. I pray all will be well with your daughter and your grand baby. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

Comment by zacharys_mom on December 9, 2012 at 9:11pm: I changed my name as I realized there was another Zach's mom in ship13/div64. We are from Ohio.

Comment by Mary_Ship13Div68 on December 9, 2012 at 9:10pm: Lala I will keep you all in my prayers!

Comment by SouthCarolinaProud on December 9, 2012 at 8:46pm: @ Lala Will definitely be thinking about her and will keep her in my prayers the both of them also. We are all family here!
