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."

WELCOME to PIR 12/13/2013! PLEASE See the PAGES section for Informational Posts about BC and PIR. PAGES is underneath the Members Photos. PLEASE scroll down this page here to find the Comment Box to post a reply to the PIR GROUP. Edit Edit
~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"

8isenuff,
I answered your question on "to shuttle or not?" up above. Wonder why I am missing questions?? Well, need to see how many pages there are, I guess...

Congrats to everyone who got an "I'm a sailor call" yesterday! I did get one as well (038), I just haven't had much time to post! According to Facebook, there were 4 divisions that should have gone through Monday night (037,038,905, and 906). The remaining 4 should have gone through last night. So there should be many more happy moms and SO's today!
And for those who have SR's that will be spending a little more time in boot camp, I'm so sorry. I know that is so very sad and disappointing for both you and your SR's. Try to stay positive! I'm sure you will be able to say you have Sailors pretty soon!

Unfortunately diannep, I am not a relative. He is my son's "brother from another mother"! ;) I knew he would get the chance to make up Marlinspike, but I am antsy waiting to hear something and I have no one I can contact!

More I'm a Sailor calls expected this afternoon! HOOYAH!
-

Annette: Remember, if PIR is delayed for them, they will give you a scripted call....short and sweet. I received one of those when my son was there..... :-(
-
-
Annette: Missing Marlinspike should not cause a delay....the SR should be able to make that up and still make PIR. Probably will go with another division.

8isenuff: That is very promising news. I hope that she can watch the Livestream of the PIR service ! Please make sure that she has the link for it. It is above, to the right, in the "pages" section under the MEMBERS photo box. You are a great friend to her...and I know probably don't know her personally (?) but as a fellow Navy mom!
