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 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"

Thank you CatMom509, very valuable information. She will be flying out to Mississippi.
Comment by CatMom509 on July 31, 2015 at 5:37pm

MrsG,

You can take her cell phone, cell phone charger, laptop, a/c adapter, own comfy bras and underwear (bring a selection for her to choose), some civilian wear, but not too much, because she needs to be able to stuff them into her seabag and Navy backpack.  She can't have any additional luggage as she will already have a 50 lb seabag, garment bag with her uniforms, the Navy backpack, and has to be able to carry her cover (hat) and paperwork in her hands.  She has to be able to carry everything by herself with no help either~~

Anything else you will have to ship to her A school when she provides you with an address~~ We used the free Large Priority Flat Rate boxes that have a weight limit of 70 lbs each and you get discounted postage when you print out the label yourself at home from www.usps.com .

If her A school is at Great Lakes, not sure if you can give her more since she is not flying~~

Happy Friday!!

      "Now thanks be to God who always

       leads us in triumph in Christ, and

       through us diffuses the fragrance

       of His knowledge in every place."

I have a question please.
When we go to PIR do we take them civilian clothing? I was thinking of taking her laptop, cell phone and a suitcase of clothing. Too much?
Comment by MrsG on July 31, 2015 at 3:04pm
I keep telling you Diannep you are a source of information. Know that you are appreciated. I'll try when I get home later. Thanks once more.
Comment by Shelley on July 31, 2015 at 2:24pm

My form letter came last week.

Comment by jayzmom on July 31, 2015 at 2:23pm

Has anyone gotten their form letters ?

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2015 at 2:06pm

Continue to call just the front desk, MrsG.  I think that is the best way to reach them...remember that Thurs-Sun, they normally are pretty busy each week because of Fri PIRs so you may want to try and reach them later Sunday through Wed!

Comment by MrsG on July 31, 2015 at 12:39pm
Thanks for the encouragement and advice diannep. I've been calling everyday. I called the 800# this morning, their lines were jammed, so they had me call the front desk directly, was told they we booked. I will call again later, but look into the places which you've suggested.
Comment by diannep on July 31, 2015 at 12:22pm

MoNavyMom:  Usually the day after PIR, but occasionally some do not fly out until Sunday.  They won't know their travel plans until right before PIR.
