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 05/17/2013! 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 Samms/ColesMom on April 2, 2013 at 7:06pm: bonitacruzita5894 it is my understanding the recruits will not be told that until the week of graduation.

Comment by bonitacruzita5894 on April 2, 2013 at 7:01pm: Can anyone tell me how to find out what day my recruit will leave for A school? I don't know how to go about making reservations for graduation. Her recruiter said he doesn't know.

Comment by corvairgal on April 2, 2013 at 4:40pm: Yay, a couple more ship 3 div 193's!!! Spent part of my yesterday watching my son's GF do her final swearing in. She just finished her first leg of her flight to Great Lakes. :) So I will have to join her group too! LOL That ought to keep me nice and confused. I also shared this site with her mom. Hoping she finds it as informative as I have. I went through this with the Marines, but unfortunately only had one finish boot camp (the other broke his leg in a spot that got him sent home) and after boot he got stupid because of his then GF. This mom is a bit gun-shy and isn't getting hopes up.

Comment by MassMom on April 2, 2013 at 4:39pm: Awesome! Welcome. This site is amazing. My son left on the 20th and is also Ship 14 Div 192. So far I'm noticing quite a bit of girls in this division. You will be making many friends here :)

Comment by Marine&NavyMom on April 2, 2013 at 4:28pm: Hello Everyone! Still trying to learn how to navigate on this site. My daughter left on March 20th and is in Ship 14, Div 192. Received her box, form letter and now waiting on the first real letter this week! Went through this a year ago April with my son (Marines) and can't believe we are going through this again. Looking forward to networking with you all :-)

Comment by ljoyce on April 2, 2013 at 2:16pm: My boyfriend told me when he called his brother division was 190 he is div 189. And I believe from what he said 190 was a female division

Comment by Samms/ColesMom on April 2, 2013 at 2:09pm: Hello All! My daughter is ship 12 div 190. I got my first call from her on Saturday. :) I sure do miss her and I hope the time between now and graduation fly by!!!

Comment by diannep on April 2, 2013 at 2:08pm: Lady Hamilton: In what we have heard on here over the past three years, many on this site have met people at PIR who were very sad to have not been aware of this site. They were amazed at the info the N4Moms families knew and felt left out. I had a friend who knew nothing of this site (her son went in before my son). She wanted to know more about Navy bootcamp, but didn't know how to find help. Since my son went in a year after hers, I was not able to tell her about this site.

So, I think there are some who really would like to know more (especially so they can make their travel arrangements, etc) and others who know their SRs are on their own and kind of disconnect for a while.

Comment by diannep on April 2, 2013 at 2:04pm: Vicky. The brother divisions start with an odd number, then even number. Divisions 187-194 are in this PIR group. Sooo.....187/188 are brother divisions, 189/190, and so on. If 188/189 are brother divisions, that would leave 187 by itself and that doesn't happen (only the 800 and 900 divisions have no brother divisions many times, but occasionally there are two 900s or two 800s in a PIR group).
