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."

for
N4M'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".

@ ChellyMay, my son is in that same ship/div.
Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 23, 2013 at 6:04pm

I just realized it has been three years ago today that my Sailor graduated boot camp. These three years have flown by.

Jordan'Mom, I think Ellen may have those links for you. I have a questionnaire that I post around the half way point because it has a paragraph of encouragement pertaining to battle stations. If Ellen doesn't see this question and help you out let me know and I will do some searching for you :)

Comment by Jordan'Mom Ship 13 Div 333 on July 23, 2013 at 5:55pm
Two questions if anyone can help....I keep seeing that moms have sent questioners to their sailors....is there a link for them?
Also I know I saw somewhere that it broke it down week by week with what they were doing..can't find it now. Help anybody??
Comment by ChellyMay on July 23, 2013 at 5:44pm

My son is SHIP 02 DIV 943 and his PIR is 9/6/13. Is there anyone else who has a relative there? 

Comment by Flo'sMom on July 23, 2013 at 5:42pm

Busmom 129, Thank you so much.  I am going to try to reserve a couple of rooms there if I can before they are all full up.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 23, 2013 at 5:41pm

bchis, I didn't see where your question was answered. When A-school is in Great lakes you get to see them on Saturday and Sunday but it isn't worth it to stay for the week. They are not allowed off base after PIR weekend until they phase up. Which usually takes a week or a little longer.

Comment by bchis on July 23, 2013 at 5:06pm

@taptap22

I heard from my wife Saturday too. She sounded exhausted but semi-upbeat. All-in-all, her experience seems to be going well. I was excited to hear from her and our son was very excited to hear her voice. He's two years old and it has just been us two since she left. I still haven't received a personal letter yet. She mentioned that she has written a lot but when they mailed out the grad info, she didn't have her stuff with her and they wouldn't let her go get it. Sucks... but maybe I'll get something this week.

Comment by taptap22 on July 23, 2013 at 4:56pm

Hey bchis, my son is on ship 12/division 331. I agree, haven't seen much from this division. Obviously it's co-ed (which I didn't know) I hope all is going well for your wife. We heard from our son this past Saturday.

Comment by bchis on July 23, 2013 at 4:34pm

My wife is on Ship 12 Div 331. Haven't seen this Div mentioned often.

Comment by Mindy on July 23, 2013 at 4:26pm

my son is ship 13 div 334 also  :)
