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."

for
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"

tygarmom:  You can contact Sarge through the info I posted below.  Probably best to contact him within a couple of weeks of PIR.

Comment by diannep on July 25, 2014 at 11:14pm

Sal;  No, the $3/pp each way is only for PIR.  He has a higher rate to take you from the airport, but I believe if you use his airport service, he takes you to PIR for free.  You can doublecheck that with him at:

Proudmom:  They have sailors with wheelchairs stationed on RTC.  They will be happy to wheel your mom into PIR Hall and take her back out again.

Check in at the Visitor's Center which is right inside the gate.

Are wheelchairs available for use and is there designated handicapped seating available?
A.

Wheelchairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis when guests check in at the Visitor Center. There is limited handicapped-designated seating on the drill deck. One family member may accompany a handicapped family member in this area.

Does anyone know where I can rent a wheelchair for my Mother? I know she will not be able to walk around the grounds.
Comment by tamster04rn Ship 02 Div 942 on July 25, 2014 at 6:56pm
YAY!!! Just got a call from my SR, he sounded so good. This is the happiest I've been since he left! So be ready anybody with SRs on Ship 02 Div 942. What a super nice way to start my weekend.
Comment by tam2014 (PIR 8/29 div 942) on July 25, 2014 at 6:55pm
On the phone with 942. Didn't expect another call so soon. Being nice and letting my husband talk.
Comment by Sal Ship 13 Div 266 on July 25, 2014 at 6:15pm

is sarge's taxi 3 dollars only to and from PIR or does that include the airport as well? 

Comment by CatMom509 on July 25, 2014 at 5:49pm

Just putting this idea out there for your group.  It is totally voluntary.  Some of our past PIR groups have gotten together and put together State themed gift baskets/boxes/bags or really, any great idea would work, to be raffled off at Sarge's Meet & Greet on the Thursday evening before PIR.  This is great fun and would help offset the costs of Sarge and his wife as they do these meet and greets every week to help our Navy families.  If someone would like to start a Basket Project for this group, please let Sarge know and start a discussion up in the Discussion Forum for the ladies here to pop into to express their interest~~  Thank you~

Friends,

I've posted my "PERTINENT PIR TIPS" up in the Discussion Forum. Please check it out for any tips you can use for your own PIR~

Comment by CatMom509 on July 25, 2014 at 5:39pm

tygarmom,

If you are planning on attending Sarge's Meet & Greet, you can sign up that evening toward the end of the event.  If you can't make the Meet & Greet, please contact Sarge early in the week of your PIR at his cell phone 847-212-0246.
