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."

CLICK MEforN4M'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 Debi on June 19, 2013 at 11:51am: Ahhh home! lol Love seeing the countdown clock again! Now all we need is the weather widget up so we can spy on GL all the time :) lol

Hi again to diannep! I'm back for the second enlisted baby boy! My son is part of the White Sox division and while I'm still patiently awaiting the 'form letter', my SR was able to tell us that their PIR was going to be 8/9 according to their RDCs. It was nice to be able to spend that extra time with him before he shipped off and to meet some of his division brothers who were leaving with him.

So here we go again..tackling the mailman..OOPs I mean patiently awaiting the mailman, having the cell phone superglued to my hand, running over everyone to get to the ringing phone only to aplogize if it's not from the 847 area code :) ahhhh memories! lol

Comment by diannep on June 19, 2013 at 10:48am: Yes you are in the right group, meli! Welcome! This group will start with your division number. By the way, he will be in one or the other of the divisions you posted. They are "brother" divisions so will train together...but he is either in 287 or 288. My guess is that you got this info from the recruiter, which means when you get the form letter, your SR will have listed only one division.

Jo Ann: TG=Training Group. They are numbered throughout the year and start over in the mid-Fall from the beginning again. This group will be training group 39, which means the 39th group of the training year (not on actual calendar year schedule).

Welcome to the new members! And by the way, this group is small because we just started this PIR group page on here. Most have not been notified of their SR's ship/division info yet so haven't found this group. You may find some of these ladies on the Bootcamp Moms page until they receive their SR's specific info.

I am one of the N4Moms Veterans who stays on the PIR groups to help you all through bootcamp. ellen and CatMom are 2 others, both have posted below. FTLW will be posting soon, and Lala (sick right now) will also be joining soon. We are all here to help!

Pleaes be checking the PAGES section located above and under the MEMBERS PHOTO BOX up top. There is some info posted there that we will be adding to. In the meantime, it will get you started!

Comment by CaseFace416 on June 19, 2013 at 10:26am: Hey all. My boyfriend shipped out of Tampa on June 12th and I have not received formal confirmation that this is graduation date yet, but I am pretty sure that it is. Still waiting for that letter in the mail to come.

Comment by meli_gz on June 19, 2013 at 8:27am: Good morning!, my SR's PIR is 8/9 he is ship 3 div 287/288. Am I in the correct group?

Comment by CatMom509 on June 19, 2013 at 1:42am: Okay, now there are 3 of us!!!

Hi!

Welcome to Navy for Moms!!

My Sailor Daughter's PIR was just this March 2013. She is currently studying IT (Information Technician) at her A school at Corrry Station in Pensacola, Florida. I primarily provide scriptural encouragement for the PIR groups, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and a couple of the other groups that I am a member of. I'll also help out with anything that I am familiar with--all kinds of tidbits I learned during my daughter's Boot Camp experience~~ This site really made the time go much faster. I'm so thankful that my Sailor daughter sent me the link for this awesome group of friends when she enlisted!! Count 9 Fridays and before you know it, you'll be seeing your baby again at PIR!! Here we go!!!

Welcome to your PIR group!

My son, is an ET so he stayed in GL for A School. He had just finished C School in San Diego, and looking forward to getting out to the Fleet in July.

A few other veteran moms that will be joining to help answer questions, offer support, and give you lots of information along the way.

There will be lots of pages posted with information for you along the way. They will be posted as the subjects come up!

Remember there are no dumb questions, so ask away!

Fasten your seatbelts because the next few weeks will be a roller coaster ride, but at the end you are in for the best hug ever!!
