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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Thanks! Much appreciated :)

Comment by diannep on February 13, 2012 at 4:54pm: Yes, Micki, she can return to GL A School base with cell/laptop after having liberty with you. If they aren't allowed to have something there yet, they just have to lock it up.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 13, 2012 at 4:11pm: proud mom - I threw that in for fillip...BUT here is the link to TSC GL that has the abridged Liberty Phases:

Comment by zStratMom on February 13, 2012 at 9:52am: Good morning Moms / Wives / GFs! I have just returned home from my SECOND son's PIR. I'll check in periodically. You have an exciting time ahead of you for both YOU and your son or daughter. You'll find great support here. ;-)

Comment by Micki (Yokosuka Japan~ USS GW) on February 13, 2012 at 9:50am: Hi & Good Morning to all,

We will be leaving the Saturday afternoon (3/17) after PIR and I have a question...Can my daughter bring her cell phone & laptop back with her on Friday night or Saturday afternoon to A" school as she is staying at GL for "A" school? I know she has to go directly to "A" school after PIR to sign in and then she gets Liberty

Comment by diannep on February 13, 2012 at 9:34am: By the way, Lala is another beloved N4Moms veteran who also gives tons of time to this site--has been since 2010...don't know what N4Moms would have done without all of her insight on here...and her beautiful ribbons!

Remember, ladies, you will all be N4Moms veterans soon...and we welcome each of you to please join the N4Moms ranks on here and help the next PIR groups! You will truly feel blessed doing it...we love helping!

Comment by diannep on February 13, 2012 at 9:31am: "one" not "on" !

Comment by diannep on February 13, 2012 at 9:31am: Good Morning all. Hoping that all have a good day today, with letters leaving RTC heading to your mailboxes!

Moving on everyone...remember, tensions are high with your SRs in bootcamp...it is an emotional time for all...but don't lose sight of the fact that this is a support group for you all...and many wonderful bonds are formed here...trust me. So know that each and every one of you who are a member of this group is valued and respected. I know that the SRs would love to know that you ladies are getting this outside support while they are working hard at bootcamp.

By the way, FTLW is one of the most dedicated N4Moms veterans on this site. Her heart is with each on of you. She has lots and lots of info from the time she has been on here--puts in so much volunteer time on here. We N4Moms veterans post only what we know is true...from our own experiences and what others report. We do much much research to make sure our info is accurate. I know that I have LOVED having her help on the groups! I have been on over 2 yrs helping in the groups and she has run circles around me just in the 8-9 mos she has been helping as a N4Moms veteran!

Now...on to the day and the things that your SRs are working so hard at today! Have a good day, ladies!
