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 all Anticipating PIR 10/7/2011!!

This group is for those with loved ones who had PIR on 10/07/2011. (PIR is short for Pass-in-Review and just means graduate from Boot Camp.)

 

It was an amazing ceremony, an amazing opportunity to see our Sailors perform and participate as an entire group, amazing to hear that wonderful Liberty call and completely overwhelming to get those long awaited hugs.

 

It is our desire that this Group will provide the information, encouragement, and support you need while your loved one continues their Navy Journey. We are hoping you will continue to come back and update everyone on that journey and continue to seek support and encouragement from friends you have already made here.

 

Enjoy your time here and feel free to Comment and join in the Discussions. Be sure to check out the information in the "Pages" section to the right. This is information that will be of interest to all Members.  (You will need to click on "View All" to see all of them.)

  

Please review the Community Guidelines and keep OPSEC in mind when you post. If you would not want an enemy to know something, then do not post it here because this is NOT a secure site and the enemy lurks. Please do not post your Sailor's last name and NEVER his/her full name. Also do not use your full name, especially if your last name is the same as your Sailor's. If your Sailor provides specific information about events that will occur, please keep that to yourself and do not post the day/time on here since this information may be sensitive and is not to be shared.

Travsdad, some do post the address on fB, but my thoughts are start practicing OPSEC and PM it to them.  Ex:  "I have SR's address.  Let me know if you want it and I will PM you with it."

Comment by prouddad ship09 div338 on August 22, 2011 at 6:41pm
So received form letter today, whoo hoo  son wanted me to post his address on face book so my question ladies is this apropriate or even ok
Comment by lemonelephant on August 22, 2011 at 6:38pm
A way to know what others who are not members of N4M can see on the site is to Sign Out and then go to some of the pages. I recommend that everyone set their Privacy Setting to Members or Just My Friends, especially anyone with pictures on their My Page. It's interesting how much a person could find out and not even have to sign in.

Form letter received... Feels like it has been months!! Ship 07 / Div 339
Comment by Bucksmom on August 22, 2011 at 6:17pm
chocolate?!?!?! where do I sign up.  When my son was in BC we called ourselves the "crazy navy moms" on facebook and started having Friday Night Crazy Chats.  We each brought our drink of choice and group chatted for hours.  It really brought us so much closer, plus it gave us some privacy to talk openly.

momofbp:  Just know that when you add a picture to your page, and you are waiting for N4M Admin approval, although you can see it, no one else can, even if they are your "friend" (when page is private).  You will get a message from Admin when your photos have been approved, and then your friends should be able to see them.  I have pictures on my page so I keep mine private.
Comment by lemonelephant on August 22, 2011 at 5:23pm
Yes, as I understand it, pictures on your My Page are only on your My Page and will not be made public if you make your page Private.  It appears that if you don't, that they could end up on the Main page.  I don't have photos on my My Page because I keep my My Page open to Members Only so that people can drop by and ask questions without having to Friend me, so I'm not sure about that.  You could go Private, add one picture, and then check the Main page to see if it shows up there.  Then, please let us know because it's not very Private if it ends up there.
Comment by lemonelephant on August 22, 2011 at 5:02pm
You can make your My Page private so that only your Friends can see it and have pictures on there, just don't have a picture of your SR as your Profile picture.
