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 03/01/2013! 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.
~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".

Julie: Thanks for letting us know that the info was accurate. We would hate to pass on inaccurate "stuff!"
Also, would you mind jumping on a couple of the other PIR groups with your post here? You could copy and paste it...I would like for the ladies there to see your info about not dragging your sailors around...we always tell them to let the sailor call the plans for the day....but it helps to hear it from someone who just went through it. Here are the links to the next 2 PIR groups. Thanks!

PIR was amazing, one of the most emotional moving experiences of my life! I know everything, where to go, what to do, I wasn't kept in the dark about any aspect of the whole day thanks to Navymoms!!! Couldn't thank you all any more, if I tried. My sailor said he was so impressed that I knew exactly what was happening at any given moment and it made him feel less alone. You are all an answer to my prayer when he first left, God Bless! Now he is safely at A school in San Antonio, sweating and loving it!

all info was so on the money!!!!!!!!!!! I knew where to go, when to go, how things worked . i knew to have him back early, I also learned and listented to what was said about after 2 months of intense training my sailor would be exausted, I saw sailors being dragged from one place to another, my son said his friends parents had plans to go here, and to go there, and all he wanted to do was rest in the hotel with his family and watch tv, eat pizza and nap Moms, please remember, your babies are so tired, they have been so cut off, let them make the plans, even if there is no plan at all. I got so much pleasure watching my sailor, my baby sleep oh so peacefully !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Navy for Moms!! could not have made it without you!!!!!!!! Love you guys

Dena: Don't know if you had heard about the sailor Brett Parks being shot in your part of town (Jax) back in Oct....a personal friend of ours....should have died many times, lost his lower right leg...2 months at Shands, 2 mos at the VA Hospital in Tampa, 8-10 surgeries (has a few more to go in the future)...but his grandfather died (good friend of my parents, and Brett's mom is my good friend)....got to see and hug Brett at his service today. He is amazing...has his prothesis on and walks with a cane. Finally got back to his wife/2 small children (one 2.5 mos old) 2 weeks ago. Nothing but a big smile on his face.
He was shot while conducting a personal training interview for a potential client (his side job) while trying to stop the robbery of a man in the parking lot. Anyway, just thought I would tell you that he is doing FANTASTIC...still faces some more surgeries but he is alive and we are grateful!
