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 19, 2013 at 12:24pm: diannep-i clocked on the sarges meet n greet to the right and it has an event for 3-28 would that be ours? thanks :-) the sundance one is the one we should go to?

Comment by diannep on February 19, 2013 at 10:37am: Yes, Lala, I thought it was worth asking about. Could have changed!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 19, 2013 at 10:34am: I saw that post as well Diannep. When we were there it was the same price with or without the kitchenette so maybe it has changed?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 19, 2013 at 10:33am: CourtRenee, I would just keep the little ones up and walking around and checking everything out while you guys are waiting for it to start. Just have someone saving a seat :) Sit down with them right when it is time to start. There will be so much going on and lots of movement so they will be watching all of that and should do fine :) There will be lots of people there with babies :)

Comment by diannep on February 19, 2013 at 10:25am: I have seen it posted now that the Navy Lodge rooms with the kitchenettes are about $5/$6 more. I had said that I thought they were the same price. Just wanted to correct that!

Comment by diannep on February 19, 2013 at 10:24am: Thanks for adding that info, Lancnavymom. We had been told that they asked that the sailors stop by the desk at some point, but then were told that it is not always enforced.

Thanks for the info about the construction too...didn't realize that is still going on. Had been told that much is renovated already. Appreciate that so we can pass on to the other groups! Did they say when it would be finished???

Comment by diannep on February 19, 2013 at 10:20am: CourtRenee: Not sure if she will be allowed to wait on the base with them without being in PIR hall....or get into the gate after PIR has started. You may want to call Public Affairs and tell them that she and the kids are on "the list," but you are worried about them tolerating the whole program and ask if she can wait in the Visitors Center with them. I'm not sure that is allowed, but worth asking about. I really don't think they will allow her on the base past 8:45 (it starts at 9). Here is the PAO #:
