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 05/09/2014! 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.
~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"

Kyjeda & VsMomCB,

Sweet Friends,
"Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
shall flourish in the courts of our God."
Psalm 92:13

Yes, Darlene. They will most likely start BattleStations on Thurs night this week....for some divisions... then continue with them next week. We cannot post actual dates for divisions on here, but if you get a date from your SR, you can post that you have a date and let others private message you for it.
The number of processing days vary from SR to SR. Some had almost 2 weeks, others just a few days. So actual time at Bootcamp can vary for each of them, but the number of training weeks is constant....6 training weeks. They usually do BattleStations on their training week/day count 6-5.
Good Morning!

OK, seems like its been forever,the first week they don't count d/t processing? will they be doing B.S this week?
-
-
This should be training week 6 for all of them, finishing at different times but all within a day or two of each other. Remember, there are 6 training weeks, but Bootcamp is longer because of processing days before and "down" days after BattleStations before PIR.
-
-
I thought it was week 7? next week is PIR so that would be week 8? praying everyday for all our SR's !
