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 05/23/2014! 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.
~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"

Good morning everyone and Happy Good Friday :) I hope you have a very nice Easter weekend. My hubby and I rented a cabin in Cherokee NC and are looking forward to some time outdoors. We found out very recently that he has diabetes and for a little over a week we have been getting used to a new way of eating to live. We have other family members camping with us this weekend so this will be a test for us to stick to our new lives. It may be hard but I have faith we can do this and have a great time together :) I hope you all are doing something fun and have beautiful weather :)

I am organizing an event to offset Sarge and his wife's expenses for our Meet & Greet that will be held on Thursday, May 22, 2014 starting at 5:00 pm.
Sarge and his wife host and organize the Meet & Greet event that takes place every Thursday when there is a PIR. This event is held for the families of every division that has PIR the next day. Sarge and his wife provide all the food, napkins, silverware, all the necessary items to pull such an event off with no expectation of assistance.
All money raised from our Meet & Greet will go into a donation box to help cover the expenses and pay forward for the next Meet & Greet. All remaining money will be donated for any sailor in need of a calling card. This is strictly voluntary on your part!
We will be making gift baskets to raffle off at our Meet & Greet. If you are interested in donating a basket filled with items, or small gift that I can add to a basket, anything is welcomed, please let me know. Keep in mind it literally does not need to be basket. If you need ideas or suggestions let me know and I will be more than happy to post some. We will be responsible for selling the raffle tickets so, I will need a few volunteers to help sell them. Any volunteer's that would like to help let me know.
If you have a connection with Sam’s Club that can donate utensils, paperware, sternos, please get in contact with Sarge. This would help offset the cost dramatically.
If you have special talent to keep the young children occupied at the Meet & Greet (even if it’s for a short while) that would be great! I.E., magic tricks, balloon animals, etc., If you are a photographer and would like to donate your services to take pictures of the families, the individual divisions and the festivities at the Meet & Greet that would be fun too!
Each division can have tables reserved so, your entire division can sit together. I will need a headcount though NLT May 16th to reserve the tables.
I look forward to this event and meeting all of you! Thanks, Darlene

Good afternoon everyone!
Today is my birthday and I was lucky enough to receive letters from my SR AND flowers! It just makes my day knowing that he's doing so well and to read about what he's been up to. I hope everyone is enjoying their day as well!

I made a postcard on the Walgreens website with a Navy quote as the picture and put a message on the other side. I ordered a bunch so if I can mail them to your sailor message me their name and mailing address. The message is pretty generic just about hanging in there and thanks for their service. :)
