OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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!
~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".

Lemonelephant,
Can you assist with how we find out the new address for the previous ship 11 div 156? They have been moved to the USS JFK Kennedy ship 9. We have some confusion on the address.

Markswifey, I will keep him in my prayers, as I have all the other SRs having to go through that. My son had all four of his out a couple of years ago. He told me the other day on the phone, "Mom, I really feel for these guys going through that here." I do too!! I had mine out at 18 and I remember it like it was yesterday. I know he will be fine and I'm praying he can rest some.

I couldn't resist this one this morning. Just substitute teacher for RDC and I think it's how some of our SRs might be feeling :) and what they tell us when they call.

Marks wifey,
My thoughts are with him. Hard way to get two days of rest though. My SR is getting his root canal finished up today but no down time for him.

Good morning everyone! Hope y'all having a good day. My SR will undergo (4) wisdom teeth extraction today and will be SIQ for two days. I hope and pray that everything will turn out okay. Pls. Include him in your prayers. Thanks a lot! :)
