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."

~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".

Sorry that your daughter was set back, but glad she is on the mend. We are all happy to have you on board to PIR the 31st and look forward to happy times ahead..Hooyah! BTW..her speedy recovery is no doubt a wonderful Mother's Day gift :)

Comment by Janai'sMom on May 11, 2013 at 8:27pm: Thanks bonitacurzita and ellen! She managed to take an estimated 6 week recovery time down to 2 weeks-she said she's never felt better! I'm so glad to have the light at the end of the tunnel on again! 19 days!

Comment by ellen0502 on May 11, 2013 at 8:09pm: Woohoo janaismom. Good to see you back in a PIR group and very glad to hear your daughter has healed and is back in training.

Comment by bonitacruzita5894 on May 11, 2013 at 8:06pm: janaismomShip4/Div2341 us moms from the PIR 5\17 are still rooting for your daughter, hang in there!

Comment by Janai'sMom on May 11, 2013 at 7:58pm: Hi Moms. I just joined this group, my daughter was originally scheduled to PIR next week (5/17) but got a stress fracture in her leg and was in RCU for two weeks. She called last week and told me she's graduating on 5/31, so here I am! She'll be shadowing Ship 14 (which was also her original ship). After much uncertainty about her recovery time, I'm overjoyed to start the countdown again!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 11, 2013 at 7:45pm: donna93,

The SRs in this group have come to the point in their training where they will be unable to make phone calls to their loved ones for about 2-3 weeks. They are doing their most intense training to earn academic flags, barracks flags, drill flags, etc. They must learn how to work together in preparation for BS. They will be given the opportunity to call their loved ones at the end of this period. My Sailor daughter was not even able to call us and let us know about this period as she gotten her wisdom teeth removed on that last day of calls (a Tuesday). One of my friends on this site let me know because her daughter had called about the no more calls for 2-3 weeks. You will still be able to write your SRs and receive a letter from them at least once a week on your letter day. Stick close to this site!! That's the time I really, really plugged in and started looking for other groups I would like to join like the Pensacola A school one and Christian Chat. We're here for each other and have gone through what you are going through now. Before you know it, you will be sitting on the bleachers and watching those garages doors roll up!!!

      and for his children it will be a refuge."

Comment by diannep on May 11, 2013 at 9:27am: IowaGirlsMom: I too am checking on this issue. I was wondering the same as what Lala said. Seems that the license/photo should be stored online. Between Lala's sailors and the person I'm checking with (works at an A School), hopefully we will have info for you soon!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 11, 2013 at 9:02am: IowaGirl, Do they not have it set up to mail you a new one online with the same picture and info from the old one? They get photo/military ID at boot camp. Send me a friend request or message and I will ask my Sailor about this when she calls later :)
