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"

thesweetp57,
I believe ITE stands for Intensive Training Exercises, which is given when someone in their division or the whole division messed up on something, so they have to go through alot of intense physical exercises. It teaches one to think of the team instead of self when engaging in certain activities--such as talking too much or whatever.

Hang in there Anneliza, they all get IT and it will be getting much better each day. Since the letter was written a few days ago it may already be much better than it was when the letter was written :)

Time really does fly, well maybe not the boot camp days but the rest of the time it does lol.
Hi everyone, I just had a PANIC feeling when I clicked on my friend requests on this site. It said I had 2550 friend requests lol. Oh my goodness, I was freaking out, how on earth would I respond to all of them lol. I clicked off that link and then went back to it and there were only 6. Much easier to deal with lol. I welcome all the friend requests, but I admit I was glad there weren't over 2500 all at once :) haha
