~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 Tiff(Ship 11 Div 057) on November 29, 2012 at 10:07pm: Well glad you got to hear from him wish i would hear from mine but not needing info of course, wish it would be the hey im still alive call lol. It sure would be nice to get something in the mail tomorrow. I joked with his mom today i said i sure hope he hasn't forgot our address lol. I quizzed him on it before he left and my phone number. He can never remeber anything anymore.

Comment by diannep on November 29, 2012 at 10:05pm: Tiff: Just explain to your mailman that he is in bootcamp, you have NO contact and are going nuts. Some mail carriers have even stopped by a person's house with a letter before starting their route! You would be surprised at how helpful they can be if you explain what is going on!

When you write to him, ask him to date his next letter and to tell you what training week/day that day is. Then you can keep track. The holidays screw the count up since they are on "hold" for those days (also weekends). So....say his training day #1 is always on a Tuesday, that will change after Christmas and New Years Day come...pushes them back a day each time so day #1 would then be on Thurs after New Years Day.

If he calls you, ask the same thing! Training days are 1-5, always week days. There are 6 training weeks....then they are sailors! Before training days are processing days and after training days are a few "down" days before PIR. During those days, the practice for PIR and have some other duties, but their training is done.

Comment by SailorV'sWife on November 29, 2012 at 10:02pm: Hey Tiff - My husband left the same day. I received a call monday from him asking me to send him his birth certif. and then got a short (3 lines) note in the mail yesterday asking for the same thing with what looked like office stationary and diff stamps than I sent with him. So I don't know if that means mail is going to start coming or if that one was just pushed through because he needs the birth certificate..? But when he called he said he was just starting DOT 1:1 Monday. My guess is most in this training group are starting their training at some point this week.

Comment by Tiff(Ship 11 Div 057) on November 29, 2012 at 9:55pm: ok thank you i havnt heard from him so i figured it was all good on his end. I was just curious if the div hasnt gotten letters yet or was it just certain ones? I keep waiting on mine to arrive i stalk our mailman he looks at me strange in the mornings lol. My husband left November 14th so i had been trying to figure out if he had already started his training yet, its so hard them not being able to contact home for a while. I could just ask him hey what week are you on yet but i cant. So thats why i was wondering if everyone in his div just started training this week?

Comment by diannep on November 29, 2012 at 9:47pm: Tiff: All SRs are in processing when they first arrive. The amount of time varies from SR to SR. My son was an early arrival for his PIR group so he had about 7 or 8 days of processing. They all start their training days at a different time, although brother divisions train together. The brother divisions for this group are:

053/054, 055/056, 057/058

909 has no brother division. All should be within a couple of days of each in training. BattleStations concludes the training weeks (they are sailors then) which is at the end of "training" week 6. Then they have more "down" days before PIR. Processing days are for paperwork, medical, dental, etc.

Yes, all divisions in this group will graduate on time. But some SRs can be asmoed (setback) to another PIR group for one reason or another. Also, some will be discharged for various reasons. But remember that NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS and assume that your SR is progressing well!

Comment by NavyMom71(SHIP 02 DIV 909) on November 29, 2012 at 7:32pm: Bella7177, i am so happy for you :)), I HOPE i get one tomorrow or next week. It's killing me not having news from her. I already wrote 3 letters so far... I am getting so depress again and I cried couple of times since yesterday. I already wrote 3 letters to her.

Comment by Bella7177 on November 29, 2012 at 6:17pm: I FINALLY GOT A LETTER! I was so hoping today would be the day...I just had a feeling! My girl has had some ups & downs...had to have part of her toenail removed because it was in-grown, and was put on light duty because she had flu-like symptoms after her shots, but seems to be hanging in. She sounded lonely, but up-beat. She is a section leader, and sounds excited about it. I'm just so relieved to hear that she is ok.
