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".

I'm still here mcmomship13div099. Enjoy your visit to Virginia Beach. We're coming up on two years of Navy bliss. My Sailor jokes that he hasn't seen a ship yet because he's still in school, lol.  

Comment by mcmomship13div099 on October 31, 2014 at 12:37am
Hi, just thought I would check and see if anyone was still visiting our group. I'm not the only one. I go see my son in December in Virginia Beach. Take care.

Just saying HELLOOOOOOO!!! :)

Hi ladies!  Glad to see that I am not the only one that still visits this site.  Unfortunately my son won't be home for the holidays again this year, but at least we will be able to talk.  He went to A school in Port Hueneme, CA for CMCA and from there went to Coronado, CA.  He is loving the navy life and I couldn't be prouder.  I got to share this wonderful site with a cousin whose son just graduated from boot camp.  She too thought this was a wonder site and it helped her as much as I to get through those long 8 weeks.  It was nice to hear from you.  Good luck to our sailors!

Comment by NavyDaughter/Mom on December 6, 2013 at 9:44am

Hi, I'm still hanging out too.  Just got back from Monterey visiting my sailor for Thanksgiving.  He's still in A School and has been in Monterey since the day after BC graduation.  Thankfully, the school shuts done for a few weeks over the Christmas/New Holiday....so he's fianally coming home.  He will have been gone for over 1 year...man, the Navy doesn't believe in breaking you in slowly!!  If all goes as planned, he should graduate in July and then move to his next school in Hawaii.  He loves what he's doing...but it's hard!  I think he spends all his time studying, but at least it keeps him out of trouble.  We are also coming up on the 1 year mark of losing my dad, we lost him two days after my son shipped out.  He was retired Navy, E8 and I would have loved to have him here for this journey...more than once I would have like to asked his opinion.  I think he would have been so proud of his grandson...he always was. So, having my baby (yes MY BABY) back home for Christmas is going to be WONDERFUL!!  Still missing him everyday - but I guess it's getting easier.  Amazing how much your life can change in a year.  I'm glad to hear things are going so well with both of your sailors!....God Bless them All!  Happy Holidays....and GO NAVY!

Hi louielou. I'm still around, lol. Glad to hear that your Sailor is doing well and will be with family for the holidays. That's a blessing when I think of last year. Brutally missing our kids.
My Sailor is doing well. He's at Goose Creek in Charleston. He's in the second phase of training, Power School. It's such a tough program. He studies, every night, for 2+ hours. That's after spending 8 hours in school. We didn't see him for Thanksgiving but he and a buddy are driving home Dec 20 and aren't due back until Jan 5. He and I both are counting the days. He graduates, from this phase, on Valentines day. Then he'll have 6 months of Prototype, basically a six month final, practical exam, and he'll be out to the fleet.
Thanks for checking in. I hope others will do the same. Have a blessed holiday!
Comment by louielou on December 5, 2013 at 9:00pm

Hello all or anyone still around, I thought I would stop by as it is coming up on the 1 year mark for when my son and most everyone here went off to BC. I can't believe that a year has gone by already, yet the journey is still so new. My son graduated Corpsmen School in July and went to Camp Pendleton to do FMTB, he is now working at the Naval Hospital there on base in the Family Services wing. It's nice because we are from the San Diego area so he gets to be with family. And I will get to see him for Christmas this year. yay!!! I hope everyone is doing well and their Sailors are enjoying what they are doing. (((NMH))) to all.

Comment by sailsetter on May 11, 2013 at 11:25am

while he was on leave, I kept looking for times when his stuff was left about so i could say "Sailor, you have gear adrift" but it never happened. 

and he learned the concept of FOLDING
