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".

Sarah,
I believe the mom needs to call the Public Affairs Office at 847-688-2405, explain the situation, give them her original gate password, then they will provide her with tomorrow's password. On the other hand, if she is taking a shuttle to PIR, then she doesn't need the gate pass. It is only necessary for vehicles who are driving in and parking at RTC. Here's Sarge's cell number to schedule him to pick her up at her hotel. 847-212-0246.

hello everyone, well I just now got into my room so I missed seeing everyone at Sarges. The travel did not go a planned, the traffic in Chicago is horrible. I come from a small town of 2000 people, we only have two stoplight in the entire county and they are 30 miles up the hill from our town. Anyhow hope to meet everyone tomorrow at PIR.
