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 05/03/2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP.

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 Melissa (14/175) on April 29, 2013 at 2:59pm: D- my husband tries to call me ma'am. I think he was trying to gear up for Navy lingo, but I correct him many times! I said I am not ma'am to you! I am wife, hunny, babe, etc. BUT not ma'am!! Hahaha!

It might be because I dont really wear make-up and I have a small frame so I look younger than I am.

I think part of the reaction I had was because I'm 20 weeks pregnant and dont even look like it! I guess I'm ready for strangers to start asking me if i am expecting and not a single one has!

I am probably in the stage of looking chubby or pregnant an no one wants to insult me so they stay quiet...

Comment by Tara-Sailor Mom on April 29, 2013 at 2:58pm: Ellen-around what time would you suggest?

Comment by ellen0502 on April 29, 2013 at 2:55pm: For those of you with sailors staying in GL for A School.

After PIR when you are waiting for your sailor to call you after they move over to the other side (TSC), try and get to the main get early to wait for that call.

All of the new sailors march together from their individuals ships to the gate for liberty. You can hear the cadence from a long way as they march to the gate, and then can watch them march down the street to the gate. Once you receive your phone call the anticipation, when you hear the next groups making there way to the main gate, as to whether your sailor is in that group is almost as good as waiting for the door to open at PIR.

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2013 at 2:39pm: Very cool, MamaKrayKray!

Calls from 171/172/925 can start as soon as just 20 minutes from now! Phones handy!

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2013 at 2:38pm: Melissa: Take it from an old fogey here....one day, you will WELCOME words like that! I had a problem years ago when I was no longer called "miss" instead being called "ma'am." Sigh....believe me....it goes way too fast! So enjoy it!
