~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"

Good Morning Navy Moms! To pass the fitness test, are there different scores to pass for different ages?
Info on the PFA that the SRs take. They MUST pass the 3rd and final one, no matter what they did on the first two.

Good Morning All !
If your SR calls and says they are getting ready for the coke and puke room tell them to eat a light breakfast before. That is what a sailor I talked to told me after she went through.
Got Phone call yesterday ship 14 div 62 Yeah. The next week is very busy.14 days
Div 61/62 should be starting off BattleStations for this PIR group. Most likely towards the end of the week before PIR week. Please read the BattleStations discussion above in the Forum for more info!
Ladies, just a reminder that we are not allowed to post BattleStations dates on here or on FB. We can only private message, so if you posted one below, please copy and paste your comment without the date then delete your original post. Thanks! You can post that you have a date for Division ____ and ask that those who want it friend request/private message you.
Yahoo! Just got off the phone with my daughter (Ship14, div 062)! She said others in her division were able to call earlier today but she was assigned watch and had to miss out. They let her make it up this time!!! Crying tears of joy to finally hear from her again . . .13 minutes very special minutes!
I received two letters today also from my SR in Ship 14, div 062. She said they have their final PFA test on Jan. 10th.
Hello All~
"He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the Lord."
Psalm 40:3
