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."

CLICK ME
for
N4M's Community Guidelines
and
OPSEC.

~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".

Yay, Kris! I'm waiting for my Sr's recruiter to get the info....for some reason he didn't have it yet.

Comment by Miss Kris on March 4, 2013 at 2:04pm

Received an email from the recruiter; my son is in Ship 3 Division 163. Address later this week!

Comment by 5boys on March 4, 2013 at 12:35pm

Hi Shelly! I have not received my form letter yet, but it should be coming soon. I'm on the look-out, let me tell ya. :) My sons recruiter called and for some strange reason, he does not have the address yet. Probably later today. I definitely have letters to send. :)

Glad you got to talk to others! That I know of, there is no one close to my location. This is my solace and my outlet, right here online.

Comment by diannep on March 4, 2013 at 12:04pm

You are in the right place!  Welcome, shelly!  So glad you found us!  Just want to doublecheck...that is not your SR's  (Seaman Recruit) last name in your screen name on here, is it?  If so, can you change that?  We are not allowed to post any last names of SRs on here.  If it is not your SR's, then no problems! 

So neat about the phone calls!  They are truly gifts during this time especially, as are those precious letters!  So...keep that phone glued to you...even in the bathroom or when stepping out for mail (many find that "in the bra" is a good place not to miss a call!).  They usually cannot call back later if you miss it...so it can be a bit stressful to be so tied to the phone, but so worth it!

I am a  N4Moms veteran helping on the PIR groups (since 2009).  My sailor has now been honorably discharged, but I love staying on here to help!  So please post any questions you have.  Also, please check the PAGES section above and to the right under the MEMBERS photo box.  Lots of info there!  More will be posted as bootcamp goes along.

Welcome!

Another veteran mom checking in!

My Sailor PIR’d in 05/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I have been an AF (Security Forces) Reservist wife for 27 + years…I know …not Navy…but I am somewhat familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments. Our son enlisted while Hubby was in Iraq. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands and my separation for 6 months.

I am a “veteran” mom on the PIR groups mostly and have been on them now for over a year and we have 7-8 PIR groups running at the same time.

Hi!!

Welcome to your PIR group!

My son PIR'd in 04/2012, He is an ET so he stayed in GL for A School. He is currently attending C School in San Diego, and looking forward to getting out to the Fleet in July.

A few other veteran moms that will be joining to help answer questions, offer support, and give you lots of information along the way.

There will be lots of pages posted with information for you along the way. They will be posted as the subjects come up!

Remember there are no dumb questions, so ask away!

Fasten your seatbelts because the next few weeks will be a roller coaster ride, but at the end you are in for the best hug ever!!
