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 diannep on October 31, 2015 at 2:58pm: SailorMom: Some of those who have left his division could have just be "asmoed" (setback) for more work in some area, or for discipline. They may join another PIR group when they are ready to continue training. But others that have disappeared have been discharged, for sure. His PIR group will get some of the earlier PIR groups' SRs who were delayed in training but are now ready to train again. Whatever training week that SR left his original division in, he/she will return to a division in another PIR group that is at that same training point. So more will be joining the group.

So sorry he is so discouraged but this PIR group is still in the really tough time of Bootcamp. It gets better!

Good Afternoon!

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2015 at 12:57pm: TXSnowWhite: I agree with FTLW.....email them and inquire of the status of your SR. I was in touch with someone there and they said you should confirm with them rather than just basing it on the letter---normally they will call. Here is the email address:

rtc.pao@navy.mil

Be sure to give them her name, previous PIR date, Ship/Div # and even offer the password given to you for the 11/20 group (in form letter)....to prove who you are. They should reply with any new info they have on her, including a new password (for the GATE PASS for PIR)....if she has been moved to another group.

Comment by diannep on October 30, 2015 at 8:11am: Good Morning!

Comment by NavyMomSh14Div027 on October 30, 2015 at 6:11am: I got like 6 letters all at once yesterday. Yay My son said he is running out of paper and has no more mailing stamps, so I brought him what he needs and will be mailing to him today. He also asked for a mini calendar. Not sure if your son/daughter have gotten a chance to write you yet but make sure they have these items so they can write you and others. Also my son is in DIV 027 anyone else here from that DIV, please contact me I would love to compare notes lol Have a blessed day ladies. I miss him

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 29, 2015 at 11:37pm: TXSnowWhite - You might want to contact RTC to check her status. It's unusual for an asmo notification to come by mail. Not saying its incorrect or anything like that...just not what we normally see...but then things can change :-).

They should be able to tell you her new PIR date and division. Also, you will need a new Password for the Vehicle Gate Pass. Have your original one with you when you call, they will ask what it is. If you email, just ask how they want to handle that (if its okay to send it through email).

Here is RTC's contact page:

Comment by diannep on October 29, 2015 at 11:01pm: TXSnowWhite: I'm surprised that you found out she was asmoed through a letter? Usually they call (scripted call). Just to let you know --- my son was also asmoed when there....did the scripted call.....said 2 weeks.....but called again a week later and was back in a training group. So you never know! Hoping that she will graduate earlier.
