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 04/19/2013!

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 AndrewB/Mom on March 15, 2013 at 2:48pm: Hi Cheryl,

Alot of people inc me, are staying at the Residence Inn and I am taking the shuttle to the PIR -I booked a suite 2brs and 2 bths and kitchen and liv room much cheaper than booking 2 sep rooms- can not wait to go!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 15, 2013 at 2:37pm: Not sure the exact amount and it is a little different for females than males. I seem to remember it being somewhere around $800 but not everything comes out at once. They seem to spread it all out over the first few paychecks :)

Sorry I have been MIA, Yesterday was a crazy day. I had lots of work to get done and on top of that my oldest son, 30 yrs old, was really sick and ended up in the ER in Charlotte. They did a CAT scan but could figure anything out. Poor thing is in a lot of pain still but they sent him home. It is really sad when you feel like they are not doing what it takes to make you better because you are uninsured :( Hopefully he will be feeling better soon.

The good news is I got my sewing machine out of the repair shop today :) YAY lol

Now ready for a warm sunny weekend and some yard work, time for Spring :)

Comment by Ty's mom on March 15, 2013 at 2:25pm: Debi, do you know how much they take out for uniforms and how many checks it will affect?

Comment by Debi on March 15, 2013 at 12:21pm: I just looked at my SR's account too..a nice little chunk of change considering that they have taken out for uniforms and such. Now to write the boy and let him know that he's really being paid for all the I.T. and yelling :) lol
