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 MelissaPatrick'sMom on February 28, 2013 at 8:13pm: Just got my second letter from my SR. He sounded more upbeat, less homesick. He is very tired of IT (his division talks a lot). The good news is he is in great shape! Can't wait to see him at PIR! I need to find out about ribbons.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 28, 2013 at 7:41pm: Syntia, since he hasn't mentioned it I am sure he is doing fine. For those who do have trouble they have study groups and get it all done together :)

Comment by diannep on February 28, 2013 at 4:49pm: My son had been at bootcamp for over 10 weeks when he finally graduated due to all of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, MLK Day holidays and a week of being asmoed. So PIR was especially wonderful for him and for us!

Comment by Faith2013 on February 28, 2013 at 3:15pm: If anyone is interested in sharing a shuttle to the Sarge's meet and greet 03/28 we wouldn't mind. I have three that will be attending. Ship 14 Div 132. Thanks for the update on the FB pictures too.

Comment by The Absent Minded Housewife on February 28, 2013 at 1:51pm: More boot camp photos up on FB! I didn't see my son in any of these. Don't know what division. Those recruits sure are working hard at PT!

Our SR has not mention a thing about academic tests... Should I be worry, how difficult are they now?
He tells us he had difficulties with making his rack and folding, but has since gotten better.

Comment by Daphne on February 28, 2013 at 12:21pm: Lavender8, so glad everything turned out okay!! MartiB, I haven't heard anything, either...hoping to get a letter today. I know my Sr was nervous about the test, too.

Comment by lavendergrl8 on February 28, 2013 at 10:06am: thanks-yes thank god he's made it this far ;0) i will say-now I see why graduation must be such an unbelievable proud moment :0)
