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 04/27/2012

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by diannep on March 9, 2012 at 9:42pm: Great to see you on here, Jessica! Hope they get that computer back up and running ....permanently! We have missed you! :-)

Comment by blm on March 9, 2012 at 7:22pm: My SR wrote in the info herself, but there were not any lines in the letter itself-I am going on the premise that they were told just to fill out the form and put it in the envelope, and not that she just didn't have anything to say to "dear old mom" LOL. I am looking forward to her first real letter though!!

Comment by diannep on March 9, 2012 at 6:05pm: On the form letters, they use to have about 4 lines in the letter that they could write a personal message. But my form letter is a couple of years old. So maybe they have changed the format? Also, back then, the SRs wrote in their address and PIR date in the letter. Do they still do that now?

Comment by diannep on March 9, 2012 at 6:03pm: No, Romisproudmom> Unfortunately, no SRs are at the MeetNGreets. You have to wait until PIR to see them. :-(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 9, 2012 at 5:18pm: You will need to change your username if it contains your last name and it is the same as your SR. (SR = Seaman Recruit) Last names of Recruits/Sailors are not allowed on the N4M's site.

Even if it is not the same...then it is still recommended as this is a public forum and anyone can see it.

To change your username on here.

Just go to "Settings" which is in the list in the far right hand column of this page...under where you sign out of N4M's.

Your profile page will open.

Under "Profile" Username is the third item down.

Clear the info and type in your new username.

Once you do that make sure to click "save" at the bottom right of the page.

It may also be in your URL (Web Address...http://)

To change your URL if it also contains your real name.(It most likely will as it automatically enters the first username you use on here.)

See in the address bar at the top of the screen at the end of the "http" when you pull your page up that your name is at the end of the address?

To change that, again go to "Settings".

Once your profile page comes up go to the left and you will see a list of options.

Click "My Page". The third item down is "Address" .

In the box clear the info and type in whatever you want to be at the end of your URL. Your new username is the best idea.

Again click "Save".

Let me know if you need help!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 9, 2012 at 4:18pm: Folks, please try not to be too upset if you did not get a note on the back of your Form letter...sometimes they plain just don't have time.

Comment by proudmother on March 9, 2012 at 3:08pm: I didn't see an area for my son to write anything. I got my letter yesterday and he didn't write anything. :( @ecortez-as for the meet and greet its for the parents who have bonded during their time of training.

Comment by RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 9, 2012 at 2:20pm: is our SR present at the meet and greets?

Comment by RomisproudmomPIR4/27ship07div129 on March 9, 2012 at 2:05pm: Same goes for me...I was hoping he would have wrote something...since others had posted there was room or them to write a few words

Comment by blm on March 9, 2012 at 2:01pm: I have hear from others that they got some sort of personal message on the back, but I did not get anything but the blanks filled out:(
