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.
~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"

Welcome Carmen! Feel free to scroll back through the pages here and find others in your division....then friend request them so you can chat with more personal info....to see if your SRs may be friends. No last names of SRs are allowed on here, but personal info like that is allowed in private messages.
-

...also, every PIR group does not have an 800 division....in fact, many of them don't.
-

Stacy: Looks like your son's 800 division has a brother division this time. Unusual as usually there is a single 800 division in a PIR group, but every now and then, there are brother divisions. Same with the 900 divisions. 807/808 are the brother divisions.
Good Morning All !

I will be making Division Discussions in a day or so for this PIR group. It will be up above the Comment box :-)
We like to wait until the group is pretty established and it is just about there.

Three years ago each PIR group was separated out by division number when my son went thru the 800 division. His brother is now in div 808. Do they have their own group yet?
