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"

Hello Everyone!
"In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before You
and wait in expectation."
Psalm 5:3
Just a note that if any of you are posting questions in the division discussion groups that you hope we N4Moms veterans see, please know that we have very little time to go through the division discussions on a regular basis. We are on anywhere from 6-9 PIR groups at once! So please bring your questions here to the main PIR page. Thanks!
Good Morning....AGAIN!
Hello All!
"The Lord is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth."
Psalm 145:18
Good Morning!
Greenelie: I just sent you a question about BattleStations in a friend request. Read the question, then hit ACCEPT, and you can answer me. Thanks!
Good Day!
"But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back
and I could not."
Jeremiah 20:10
I forgot to add that your PIR group will have several different Battlestation dates~~
Greenelie,
You can just share the Battlestation date with diannep, who keeps track of all those dates and she can share it with everyone else who private messages her~~ To Friend her, click on her pic or name on any post, which will take you to her My Page, then click on "Add as Friend" and she will receive and accept your friend request. Look for (1) after your Inbox to see if you have any messages.
You can also share only with people from divisions 361 & 362 who private message you as friends. Please don't put the info up on the Discussion group as those are still public pages here on N4M~~ Thanks!
I know I read it somewhere, but cannot remember. Is it acceptable to post when Battle Stations will be. My daughter is 12/361. She told me last night when theirs will be. Should I only share with our 12/361&362 group or will it be the same for all those with PIR 11/07/2014?
