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 PIR04/26/2013!
~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".

Just got home from PIR. I am a very proud Mom. Hoorah 924!
Notes for future travelers: avoid westbound I-94 from Chicago to north Chicago, at all costs, during business hours. Use I-294 if you can instead. And, have about $18 in coins for the tolls.
Good luck future sailors and families. My sailor is safely in Pensacola and was told, "Relax, you aren't in boot camp any more.".
Also, when I wished her luck she told me she had trained hard so she didn't need luck, so her Petty Officer said.

Mary, so sorry about that. Seems that Flanagans has kind of dropped out of the MeetandGreet business. Tomorrow will be the exciting day and hopefully you will meet some of the families there! :-)

Went to Flanagan's Meet and Greet and only two other families were there and they kept to themselves. Not what I was expecting, but the main purpose of this trip is to see our Sailor tomorrow!!! Can't wait!!!

Crazy long drive with my 8 month old who clearly was not going to make it without me for three days. I cannot wait to see my lovely new Sailor!!!!!!! I am looking forward to meeting her "bestie" and seeing the Triple Threat in action. Oh, the challenge coin I ordered(on the 20th) and had shipped to my hotel was refused by the hotel staff when it was promptly delivered two days after I ordered it. Hard to complain about a too swift shipment. LOL. God is good, baby is asleep and I get to see my girl tomorrow! What a blessed life!! God speed and bless you all!!

TOO FUNNY, 2ndGenNavy! Make sure to eat dinner where there are lots of sailors....and make a scene when you give it to him! lol
