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 04/12/2013!
~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".

Has anyone heard of SRs actually not passing, BS21? I know they can call when they pass, but will they call if they don't. I am so nervous- we are hitting the road tomorrow night and driving 13 hours, we are down to the wire.

Sorry been kind of out of pocket the last few of days. My oldest son took my sailor sons car to him in San Diego this weekend, so trying to get everything together to take to his brother, and I was gearing up for the snow here. :) In the sixties and seventies all weekend, seventy-two yesterday at 1pm, wind came up temp dropped 50 degrees and snow started to fly. Welcome to spring in Colorado!
Congratulations to all the new sailors and safe travels this week to you all

Whew!!!! Oh my goodness... What a relief to finally hear!!! I was getting worried there for a minute (or hour or even longer in reality...)
Like Kathy, I can't wait to meet everyone on Thursday night. It sounds like it will be a bit colder than we were expecting, but that really doesn't seem to matter anymore.
Now to just get the info. from the moms on the calls from the last divisions going through. Good luck!!!

Congratulations Navy2011Mom and everybody and their sailors. Looks like we've had a good day full of great news. Can't wait to meet lots of you in person on Thursday night!
Has everybody at least heard from their divisions or are others still waiting?
