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"

For those still deciding where to stay for PIR, here are the hotels recommended by others in previous PIR groups:

Navy Lodge (book in your SR's name if you do not have your own military ID), about a mile from RTC, good rates

Springhill Suites, Courtyard, Residence Inn, and Holiday Inn Express, all close to each other near a large Walmart center with restaurants nearby.  About 4-5 miles from RTC.  Close to Sarge's MeetandGreet.  Call these hotels directly and ask for the Navy Grad discount.  Compare this with other discounts you may have (i.e., AAA, etc). 

Do not wait on booking your hotel as some book up pretty quickly.  You can cancel if necessary with no penalty usually up to the day of arrival.

Good Morning All !

Hello!
My son is Ship 04 Div 146. I'm so thankful for all these groups.

Hi Chantal ☺
Comment by diannep on March 4, 2015 at 4:49pm

momh:  That has been resolved.  During PIR weekend, the sailors are allowed at the Navy Lodge without a chit. 

Comment by momh on March 4, 2015 at 4:12pm

Someone please correct me if this is wrong.  I was told that my SR is not permitted to go to Navy Lodge and that a Chit is supplied to certain hotels.  How do I know which ones?

Comment by CatMom509 on March 4, 2015 at 3:44pm

Another mom posted that Frontier Airlines is having a sale with fares from $39 - $59.  Book by March 5th, travel by April 29th.  The 3 airlines into Great Lakes area are Chicago O'Hare, Chicago Midway, and Milwaukee Mitchell.  Please use THIS link. Hope this helps you!
