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 03/29/2013!

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 Cybermom on March 21, 2013 at 9:41pm: I love the countdown clock getting closer! Got a letter, my SR says it's time to move on, he has actually enjoyed boot camp and said a lot of it is "fun" (I know, right???) but he's ready to move forward. He misses us, and can't wait to see us. Ships out early Sat to A school, meaning we have to be at O'Hare for a 6 AM flight, ugh! Anyone else gonna be there that early? I'm not renting a car (eye problems, don';t want to risk driving) so I'm trying to figure out logistics. Staying in Waukegan so I'm not sure what to do. Always something, right? Any advice from veteran Moms?

Comment by lavendergrl8 on March 21, 2013 at 8:23pm: i received a letter today also- he sounded good but i think he really needs tosee us :0) as we do him. he told me not to really bring any clothes because he can't wear them while on liberty. 7 days whew

Comment by CatMom509 on March 21, 2013 at 8:09pm: CourtRenee,

You're so welcome!! I pick these scriptures especially for our Navy sons & daughters and their families!! We are all on the same path supporting them all the way~~ GO NAVY!!

Comment by TreysMom on March 21, 2013 at 7:42pm: I got a letter from my son today. He sounds good. He said it's getting "hot" in the afternoons now. Funny coming from a FL boy. I can't wait to see you guys next week and start seeing the "I've got a Sailor" posts.

Comment by diannep on March 21, 2013 at 5:50pm: By "it", I meant...the password from your form letter.

Comment by diannep on March 21, 2013 at 5:49pm: GB: Try yet another computer for the pass, if you can. Are you typing it in ALL CAPS? Try Mozilla Firefox browser if you aren't already.

Comment by diannep on March 21, 2013 at 5:46pm: moss: No I'm a Sailor calls will be coming in today. But "could be" for some divisions tomorrow!

Comment by diannep on March 21, 2013 at 5:45pm: ...you can always mail it to him at A School.

Comment by diannep on March 21, 2013 at 5:45pm: Kimberly: No BattleStations on Fri or Sat nights. And, the calls the next day can start after 2 pm, but usually don't start before 2 pm.

CourtRenee: I'm assuming he is staying in GL for A School? He probably will be allowed to have it. He will know when you pick him up from that base. If he is flying out to A School, not sure he will have room to take that. He will have his seabag, garment bag (uniforms) and his black backpack. You can take it with you to PIR and let him decide in that case!
