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."

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"

Comment by DakotasMom on August 20, 2015 at 7:39pm: I got to talk to my SR!! He needed information for his security clearance. And I received his form letter! Ship 06 Div 340! He sounded really tired but in good spirits! He said he has written letters every day but they won't be mailed out until Sunday! He called just as I was leaving work! Gosh! Such a relief!

Comment by apryll on August 20, 2015 at 6:10pm: I received my letter today too :)

Comment by livinginGrace on August 20, 2015 at 3:38pm: Hello ladies! Oh happy day that the mail came! My mailman can rest assure I am no longer stalking him. I am so blessed to be able to join this PIR group. I am filled with joy knowing so far my son is moving along with the "process". I look forward to learning with you all, cheering you on as you continue to support your SR.

Comment by diannep on August 20, 2015 at 1:51pm: Welcome, everyone! Glad you found the group! Scorpeao, stay here on this group until you get the form letter and confirm that you are in the right place. Most likely, you are....so....glad you are here!

Ladies, ellen has put lots of info in the PAGES section, to the right and above on this page. Please read through it. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Comment by Curlyq on August 20, 2015 at 1:40pm: I just got my form letter. I don't think I have ever been this excited over a form letter.

Comment by Stellaaaaaa on August 20, 2015 at 11:50am: Hi! I haven't received my letter yet, but I'm assuming that my daughter will be part of division 948. She has 6 years of marching band experience, so I'd be surprised if she wasn't. Anyway, I'm glad I found this site as it helps me to not miss my daughter so much. I've been a single mom for 10 years, and she was my only, so the house is a little empty.

Comment by ellen0502 on August 17, 2015 at 1:00pm: Please take the time to read the PAGES here, on your PIR GROUP. The PAGES are located on the right side of this main comment wall, directly under the member photos.

Please be sure to read about:

N4M’s Community Guidelines and OPSEC (direct clickable Link)

We will be placing more information there along the way for you as well.

Remember there are no dumb questions, so ask away!

Comment by ellen0502 on August 17, 2015 at 12:59pm: Hi!!

Welcome to your PIR group!

My son graduated BC in April of 2012. He is an ET, stayed in GL for A School, went to C School in San Diego. He has also had additional schooling and training since (an ETs learning is never done). He is forward-deployed and is attached to is a Whidbey Island-class landing ship.

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

There will also 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...the next few weeks will be a roller coaster ride, but at the end of the ride you are in for the best hug ever!!
