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."

forN4M's Community Guidelines and 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".

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on April 30, 2013 at 3:14pm: This is my second time around, his twin went to BC the fifth of November. So At least i know what to expect. It is fun to watch weather and the count down. And Wow its warm. We are expected to get snow tomorrow. Still no box.

Comment by donnad on April 30, 2013 at 10:37am: Thank you so much for creating this page! The information is so helpful. I especially LOVE the countdown clock. I look forward to seeing the time tick off.

Comment by Kim F on April 30, 2013 at 10:32am: Thank you. June 21 seems so far away

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2013 at 10:15am: Kim, more and more info will be added as bootcamp goes along, so keep checking the PAGES area under the MEMBERS photo box up top on this page to stay up with it! Welcome to the group!

Comment by Kim F on April 30, 2013 at 9:25am: I meant to say...most of which I did NOT know.

Comment by clbreb on April 30, 2013 at 12:29am: got my form letter today,, my hands were shaking when i saw his handwriting. i am so proud of him, he worked so hard to get where he is.. i cant wait to see him at PIR

Comment by Kim F on April 29, 2013 at 11:17pm: Trying to absorb all of this new information, most of which I had known before he left. But thank you all so much for walking me through this. I look forward to getting to know you. I do work downtown in GR, and live out in the north suburbs. Way north. Way suburbs, LOL. I am a band mom with my other son's band, so that takes a lot of time and keeps me very busy. Being a divorced mom, my kids have been my pride and joy for many years.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 29, 2013 at 9:59pm: Please make sure you read the Text box area info directly above the Comment box. There is a Count Down clock for your PIR and a Weather widget as well as some important info.

Here is your first PAGE from the PAGES section which is located directly below the MEMBERS profile pics:

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 29, 2013 at 9:58pm: Hello!

Welcome to your PIR Group!

My Sailor PIR’d in 05/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I have been an AF (Security Forces) Reservist wife for 27 + years…I know …not Navy…but I am somewhat familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments. Our son enlisted while Hubby was in Iraq. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands and my separation for 6 months.

I am a “veteran” mom on the PIR groups mostly. I have been on them now for over a year and we have 7-8 PIR groups running at the same time.

I will check in here to see if I can answer any questions and lend support. There will be a few other veteran moms along to lend a hand and support you all through your PIR experience. Others drop in occasionally too…plus we are always looking for more to “join the ranks”. Things change in the military and we like to give out the most current info that we can so moms that have just gone through this help a lot.

I have a lot of PAGES with information to provide you along the way. I will post as the subjects come up! Please ask any and all questions…there are NO dumb ones Folks!

Hang on for the ride!
