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 lavendergrl8 on February 24, 2013 at 1:36pm: sg what does that mean? ship 5? my son is also div 807 ship 04-thats where ur boyfriend was, right? thanks for letting me know about the letters- ive been waiting and waiting for one. sounds like a tough group 807!!!!

Comment by MartiB_TX on February 24, 2013 at 11:06am: CourtRenee my daughter is in a push div (131) so I assume 132 is also a push div too but not for sure. My daughter told me this when she called. She said several of the original ones in her div. Got sent home for various reasons . She said they had to wait for others to join there group so spent several days waiting for the new ones to finish their p days. Their group had a big test they were studying for that they took on Monday or Tuesday of this week hope thet all did well as she said they would get a phone call.

Comment by diannep on February 24, 2013 at 8:48am: CourtRenee: The push divisions are usually the last ones to "class up." It just means that they have to get more done in less number of days. They just have to work hard...and they all get it done!

Good Morning All!

Comment by CourtRenee on February 24, 2013 at 2:55am: I am ssoo waiting for letters from my hubby!! I can't wait...

also, I have heard some talk about a push division. anyone know which divisions those are? & what that means?

Comment by MartiB_TX on February 23, 2013 at 9:37pm: Thank you DianneP i will have to print that out so I can tell at PIR what her division earned.
