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."

N4M'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"

You need to be a member of ALUMNI OF PIR 05/29/2015 TG 29 - 11 Divisions (187-196, and 929) to add comments!

Comment by diannep on May 19, 2015 at 5:19pm: Ladies, please do not post actual BattleStations dates for a specific division on this page. You can post that you have one for division (#) and ask that others friend request you for it. RTC has asked us not to publicly post them, here or on FB, so you can practice OPSEC (security)....we are to pretend like they are ship movement if deployed which means not posting info until AFTER the fact! Thanks!

So happy you heard from your SR also. Did he call today?
I still haven't heard from my daughter, but my hope is still high :)

Comment by Mommamac on May 19, 2015 at 3:21pm: What DIV?

Comment by Roliesmom on May 19, 2015 at 2:46pm: VintageCK,
Happy that you go to talk to your son. Hopefully my daughter will call today also. Thanks for the info :)

Comment by diannep on May 19, 2015 at 9:40am: Those with sailors moving over to GL A School will have just a little while with them after PIR on base. Then they move and you pick them up over there mid-afternoon.

Those with sailors flying out will have the rest of PIR Day with them, until early evening. Then can meet them at the airport to visit until departure (take ID for an airlines pass)

GL A School sailors will also have Sat and Sun daytime Liberty, returning to that base each evening.

Good Morning!

From what my daughter told me is yes, you will be able to spend time with them after graduation but they will have to check into A school and then that's when they're told how long their liberty is.

diannep,
thanks for the info, it really helps to know what she's doing. Can't wait to see her next Friday!

Comment by amy4bret on May 18, 2015 at 9:59pm: 10 days to go and I will see my SR Son so proud and excited. Is anyone could tell me after graduation do we have time to spend with my SR? And can we see them before they will go to their A School?

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2015 at 9:56pm: Ok, thinking that they will be going through on Memorial Day night so hopefully this group will be totally finished with BattleStations by Wed morning next week!

Comment by diannep on May 18, 2015 at 9:54pm: rygirlsmom: BattleStations is a 12 hr overnight drill and they usually call the afternoon of the day that they finish (sometimes calling early evening). They normally start them for some divisions Thurs night the week before PIR week, so those first calls would come on that Fri afternoon. They have none on Fri and Sat nights, and lately not Sun nights either, resuming on Mon night. Since that is Memorial Day, not sure if they will go through that night...they may resume them on Tues and Wed nights for this group.
