OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

WELCOME to PIR 05/30/2014! 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"

cindyb I am in NC and my daughter is going to CA. You are in CA and your son is coming to NC. We just need to trade places lol. Her husband is already there and they are renting a place in the San Diego area.

We can use your thoughts and prayers. My sailor was supposed to come home yesterday and be here for about 3 weeks and then go to CA. Her orders got messed up and she couldn't check out. Then today she and the baby were in a car wreck and she is pretty sure her car is totaled. Thank God she and the baby are okay. The baby didn't get a scratch. But L has a burn from the seat belt, bruises and bad head ache from the airbag hitting her in the chest and face, and whiplash. They did release her from the hospital :) I hated not being there. It is so hard when something like this happens. Especially when they are not at home. But thank God they were not hurt bad. Thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. We will know more in a few days. Not sure what will happen since the car is there and she is supposed to be here and then go to CA.

I think even though I may get car rental I will schedule pick up with sarge to PIR- it seems easier. I'm also traveling alone, so if anyone wants to share let me know!

Laurie: Thinking that your division is in the middle of training week 4 right now, starting training week 5 towards the end of next week. They should be first to go through BattleStations.
Yes, I think it would be very appropriate for your 15 yr old son to wear his military school uniform if he would like to!

Hello ladies. I have a quick question. Does anyone know what week ship 13 div 183 would be on right now? I'm trying to follow along here at home but I'm confused. I am thinking they would be starting week 5 coming up.
Another question for the veteran moms. About dress code for PIR. My 15 year old son goes to a military school and has a military school dress uniform. Would it be appropriate for him to wear this to the PIR?

CA is awesome...that is where I am. Will you be visiting San Diego? It is a nice little city. I am up in northern CA. My son will be going to NC. My dad was Navy and he was stationed in Norfolk, VA, but we lived in Moyock, NC for a period of time, but I was only 5, so I don't remember much about the east coast. I am looking forward to the adventure too! =)

Good morning and happy Saturday. It is nice and sunny here in NC but a little cooler than normal. I hope you all are having a great weekend. I am spring cleaning and gathering stuff for a yardsale. Gotta make extra money so I can go out and have a bunch of fun with my Sailors when I fly to CA to visit them. This is going to be a REAL adventure for me. I've never been to CA and I have never flown before. So I am super excited about the whole experience. :)
