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".

MamaPortabella:  SUGGESTION:  You may want to scan pictures on the back of your letters to him or collage-style on another sheet of paper.  They have limited storage space to keep actual pictures, plus "thick" envelopes mean they have to open their mail in front of the RDCs.  So it is better to try to send scanned pictures on the paper if possible! 

Yep, exciting, exhausting, frustrating, rewarding...all of those things are felt by the SRs during bootcamp!  They treasure letters from home, by the way....so write often and get friends/family members to write too!

Comment by MamaPortabella on November 20, 2012 at 2:08pm

I am so  excited for my step-son and all the opportunities ahead of him!  I can't help wondering how his days are going and if he's made any friends yet!  Dad and I have been writing letters and can't wait to mail them to him!  We're including a picture or two with each letter!

 I'm  just continuing to pray for  him and all the recruits in BC!  I can't imagine the change they are going through! I'm sure it's exciting yet exhausting!

Comment by diannep on November 19, 2012 at 11:54pm

Yes, 1 proudrn:  Sometimes it takes a while to get the form letter.  Could your SR have mailed it to anyone else?  They can only mail out one.  But this is still early for all of the form letters to be received, so just hang in there!  Did you get the PIR date from the recruiter?

Welcome to you and to Dawn!

Comment by 1proudrn on November 19, 2012 at 11:26pm

Am so glad to finally know when my sons PIR date will be. I still have yet to receive his form letter. Is this normal?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 19, 2012 at 6:23pm

Hello!

Welcome to your PIR Group!

My Sailor PIR’d in 05/2011. He is a Seabee Reservist. I have been an AF (Security Forces) Reservist wife for 27 + years…I know …not Navy…but I am somewhat familiar with military life! We have been through two Deployments. Our son enlisted while Hubby was in Iraq. This site was a Godsend and helped me get through not only our sons BC experience but my husbands and my separation for 6 months.

I am a “veteran” mom on the PIR groups mostly. I have been on them now for over a year and we have 7-8 PIR groups running at the same time.

I will check in here to see if I can answer any questions and lend support. There will be a few other veteran moms along to lend a hand and support you all through your PIR experience. Others drop in occasionally too…plus we are always looking for more to “join the ranks”. Things change in the military and we like to give out the most current info that we can so moms that have just gone through this help a lot.

I have a lot of PAGES with information to provide you along the way. I will post as the subjects come up! Please ask any and all questions…there are NO dumb ones Folks!

Hang on for the ride!
