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"

NavyMomma: Even if he fails the first 2, and passes the 3rd one, that would be good!

I am having huge computer issues where my computer won't even turn own. I use my hubby's computer when he's at work but for some reason his mouse pad on the laptop has gone crazy and moves the around all over where I am typing and makes a jumbled mess. It takes at least 10 minutes to post a comment so I get very frustrated and give up. My is home and she thinks she can fix my hubby's computer and she has a laptop I can use for a while as well. It will be at least two weeks before I get my computer back :( I will never again buy a Dell. Please don't think I have deserted you. I will be here as much as I can and I can always keep up with the facebook groups using my phone. If you need me or have any questions for me please send me a friend request or message me on Facebook. I am an admin for all the PIR groups there as well :)
NavyMomma89, as long as he passes that is all that matters :)

Thanks, diannep. I am praying it won't take 3 times, but with him, it just may!

NavyMomma: Congrats on the call!
On the PFA's (fitness tests), they take them 3 times. No matter what they do on the first 2, each SR HAS to pass the 3rd onein order to do BattleStations.....so he has time to get fit!

Finally got our first call from our son in Div 264 last night! That was the makeup call from the time he tried calling us the previous weekend and wasn't able to make contact with us. We were so happy to get to talk with him! He also said he would be calling us on Tues., 7/22. Don't know what time, but I will have my cell phone in hand all day! He said he easily passed his swim test, but he hasn't yet passed his physical (didn't prepare too much like Mom and Dad suggested!. . . .). :)
