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."

N4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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"

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2015 at 8:02am: marykate: Correction to my post below. I understand that those not on Facebook can get on the RTC FB page. You can't comment or "like" but you can read the info. Sorry, I stand corrected! :-)

Good Morning!

Welcome to the group, Sunshinemom!

Comment by Sunshinesmom on March 30, 2015 at 4:33am: So happy to finally know the Div and Ship my son is in! Have heard that a couple of moms with sons in the same division have heard from their SRs so I am excited to hopefully hear from mine soon! We haven't received his box or the form letter yet, so I'm anxiously awaiting those as well. :)

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2015 at 9:23pm: Welcome, Becky!

Comment by BeckyLCM on March 29, 2015 at 5:45pm: Hi everyone! So happy to finally be able to join a PIR group! I haven't received the form letter yet, but talked to my SR yesterday, who gave me his div and ship #, along with the PIR date. He's Div 177. So nice to meet you all!

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2015 at 2:11pm: marykate: There are no piks posted on this group....this is just a site set up for families/friends of the SRs/sailors by the Navy back in 2008. It is a wonderful group, full of support. I joined back in late 2009 when my son was at Bootcamp. He has now been honorably discharged and just finished his Bachelors degree on the GI Bill. But I stay here to help! I love helping on the PIR groups especially.

Now, there is a U.S. Recruit Training Command Facebook page. Occasionally, they will post random piks of the SRs there, in addition to some PIR (graduation) piks. You must be a member of Facebook to access this page, but it also will have some info on it.

For those having a hard time maneuvering on this site, just keep practicing! There is lots of info here. Use the tabs at the top of the page to visit different areas on the site. I too had to practice alot when I first got on here, and was notified by another Bootcamp mom in my PIR group that I was posting comments back to myself on my COMMENT page (bottom of your MY PAGE)---thinking I was posting on the other person's page. Yikes! Ooops! So practice makes perfect....don't give up....just keep working at it, you will get it~

Welcome to the new members here ! We are glad to be here to help you through Navy Bootcamp! Please be sure to read through the PAGES to the right/top of this page for lots of info! FTLW is wonderful in starting the new PIR groups. She and another of our N4Moms veterans, ellen, are great at doing that!

Please post any questions you have here and one of us will try to answer it for you!

    "Then the multitudes who went before and those

     who followed cried out, saying 'Hosanna to the Son

     of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name

     of the Lord!' Hosanna in the highest!"
