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"

Comment by Chetta on May 5, 2015 at 9:16am: Good morning all....making my plans for travel. anyone know how the weather is in Ilinois for PIR time? also anyone from Jersey area?

Comment by tammyj_bradysmom on May 5, 2015 at 8:53am: Good morning my 6-19 family! Hope you all have a great day!

Comment by diannep on May 5, 2015 at 8:50am: Welcome to the group, Shay! Please read the PAGES info to the right/above on this page for lots of info! If you have time, scroll back through the posts here too to learn info.

Comment by diannep on May 5, 2015 at 8:49am: meme: Not sure what you are talking about, needs to update? Unless you mean....that RTC needs to post the divisions in this PIR group (true) on their website. That maybe is what someone meant by "update." Once they do this, ellen will post them in the title of this PIR group. The date will NOT change, if that is what you were thinking. This is the PIR date for sure for this PIR group.

Good Morning All !

Comment by Shay71 on May 5, 2015 at 8:16am: Morning. I am new to the group. My RTC is on ship 02 DIV 932. We have gotten his box and form letter but no call yet. Hoping for Mothers Day.

Comment by Rcmom on May 5, 2015 at 8:04am: Thank you Ellen0502! ProudNavyMom, no phone call here either....I'm hoping that will be my Mother's Day surprise!

Comment by ProudNavyMom287&218 on May 5, 2015 at 6:46am: Hi RCMOM. My son is also in ship 4 division 218. We've gotten his box and form letter but no phone call yet...

Comment by memeGaronsMom on May 5, 2015 at 4:05am: How come The PIR for 6-19-15 states.it needs to update? What does that mean?

Comment by ellen0502 on May 5, 2015 at 3:28am: Rcmom, The ships at RTC are their quarters. The recruits eat, sleep, study etc. in their ship. Ship 4 is named USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51). For the purpose of mail etc, you only use the Ship number.

The division number, 218, means that your recruit is in the 218 division in the Navy's fiscal year. "Regular divisions", those not an 8** or 9** division are formed numerically as recruits arrive.

There may be some recruits in the same division that will head off together to A School, but there is no designation or specialties in regular divisions. The only two divisions who have "specialties" are the 800 and 900 divisions. The 900 divisions are for BC only, and the 800 divisions are all spec ops recruits.

Comment by Rcmom on May 5, 2015 at 2:14am: Ok, new to all of this. I just received my son's form letter. Anyone out they have someone on ship 4 Div 218? What does that mean? Is he with the people who will be with him at A school? Does the Div signify a specialty?
