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 Ica'smom 1996 on December 8, 2015 at 6:33pm: Please don't give information about your recruits, like posting names and where they're going. This is a very sensitive information. Please reread the Navy for moms rules!! Thanks

Comment by ProudNavyMom on December 8, 2015 at 6:01pm: 06/040 - Just got my I'm a Sailor call!!! He sounded excited but very exhausted! He's ready to graduate and move to A school in Florida. We were able to chat for quite some time, so I'm happy. Hope everyone else gets their calls too :)

Comment by NCNavymom on December 8, 2015 at 2:17pm: No school ID. Hopefully her dmv ID card will v om in today. If not I'll make sure she has her bc and ss card. Thanks!

Comment by diannep on December 8, 2015 at 2:06pm: Does he/she have a photo school ID? That works, and the birth certificate/social security card will work too.

Comment by NCNavymom on December 8, 2015 at 12:53pm: Looking for information on what type of ID is required for PIR for a 17 year old with out an Id card or drivers license. Thought I has read some where that a birth certificate would work now I can't find anything. Poor thing went to have an ID card made several wks ago but she hasn't gotten it in the mail yet.

     "Let the morning bring me word of Your

      unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You.

      Show me the way I should go, for to You

      I lift up my soul."

Comment by CatMom509 on December 8, 2015 at 3:59am: CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families!! Safe travels to all to an awesome PIR!!

Remember, PIR is just the beginning of the Navy journey. Keep plugged into Navy for Moms where there are groups for A school, C school, ratings (jobs), bases, ships, states, regional, twins and multiples, and the "Christian Navy Moms" that I am a part of!

Also, the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command page on Facebook puts up photos from each PIR. If you see your Sailor in a pic or more, you can download it to your own computer by either clicking on the picture, going down to Options and downloading it OR right click, "Save Picture As" to a file on your computer~~
