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".

Hi Jbak! My son's in 147 but he's going to nuke school too so they'll probably know each other soon!

Momof3. I have an appendix(half quarter horse, half thoroughbred). He is the absolute best horse! He is a veteran show jumper that my daughter used until she went to college. Then I inherited him. I've learned a lot from him, and am completely head over heels in love with him. He's my old guy now...25 this May. But we still ride together, just at a more leisurely pace! Arabians are beautiful. I took care of one for several months when his owner went away to school. He was a beautiful mover, with that tail carriage and arched neck! What I really want someday is a Fresian!

...meant to say....share last names by private message, not on here! :-)

Yep, 145/146 are brother divisions, and do train together! You two should friend one another and share last names, and ask your SRs about the other. They should be buddies!

Hi jbakfindley welcome!
My son is also going to Nuke school. He is in DIV 145. I believe these two units have been training together so they my know each other.

Hi all. I'm new to Navyformoms and I'm amazed at how wonderful it is. Thanks to everyone for the information provided. My son is in division 146 and then going to Nuke school. I can't wait to see him (and hug him!) on 4/12/13 :)

Kathy, What wonderful news! I am sure they are indeed counting the days as well!!!

Letter Day! He said they made it through the gas chamber (ugh!) and they have their flags. This week was going to be intense but he thinks their division is great and they'll do just fine. He sounds happy and confident and ready for graduation. I think they're doing the same thing we are - counting the days!
