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 TXSnowWhite on October 16, 2015 at 7:38pm: Well just got another letter from my Kiddo she said she's actually in division 12 not 11, does that mean I've been in the wrong group in here all this time??

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2015 at 7:22pm: Yes, Chasesmom: They march in numerically from lowest number to highest! It is quite a moment when that big door opens revealing the SAILORS!

Comment by Chasesmom on October 16, 2015 at 4:09pm: Got another letter from my SR, Ship 3 Division 11, and he said they found out they will be the 1st group to march in at PIR. He said his division is starting to really come together and that they are in a integrated division but the girls sleep across the P-WAY. LOL I guess wh thought he had to add that for my benefit. Also, his boots are finally starting to get shiny. His letter was a day later with Monday being the holiday. Hope the rest of you get a letter from your SR soon.

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2015 at 8:48am: Good Morning!

Comment by plantlady on October 16, 2015 at 8:45am: Hey All Good Morning, last night as I surfed the many links this site has to offer I came across this one with updated information (as of June 2015) regarding PIR weekend. It's worth a read. Updates and great information.

Comment by CatMom509 on October 16, 2015 at 3:33am: plantlady,

You're welcome! Also, you usually don't get the one with their rating (job) until they are closer to finishing their A school training and those are engraveable. I did my daughter's title "ITSA First Name Last Name" (at the time)with the date of her graduation from A school~~

Comment by CatMom509 on October 16, 2015 at 3:28am: Happy Friday!!

     "Sing to the Lord; praise His name.

       Each day proclaim the good news that He saves."

                                                              Psalm 96:2

Comment by plantlady on October 15, 2015 at 7:59pm: Hey everyone, I'm hoping to connect with others from Ship 11 Div 15 (and 16) on the "Discussion Forum" located above. Although I do love commenting here on the PIR 11/20/2015 page, and will continue, I would also like to gather our division moms/dads for a more specific discussion about our sons and daughters who are training together. Please send me a friend invite and lets connect on the Discussion Forum located in the above tab.

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2015 at 7:58pm: Austin'sMom: I wrote many SRs over the almost 6 yrs I have been on here. You can write words of encouragement, you can also ask questions about that SR, which would mean you hope that they will write you back (remember, they enjoy SENDING letters too!). You can ask where he/she is from, how they came to join the Navy, what their future plans are, what they do for fun, etc. One female SR I wrote to in Bootcamp told me all about her boyfriend, about being raised by her grandmother, etc. We traded several letters, even when she was in Bootcamp. Be sure to include your return address. Your letters can make a real difference in a SR's life!

Ladies, I suggest that you all ask your SRs also if there are some in their division not receiving letters and ask your SR if you can send extra letters in your letters to them to pass out. It would be wonderful if enough did this where there are NO SRs not receiving mail! You can also ask for the SR's name if you want to send the letters directly to that SR so that his/her name would be called for mail call! What a smile you would put on those SRs' faces!

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2015 at 7:53pm: Austin'sMom: That is a wonderful thing to do, and you may want to write a few letters to your son, and tuck an extra letter in each one for other SRs that your son can pass out because I can assure you, there are many who receive NO mail! It will mean the world to them!
