~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"

djk's Mom oh I fear that, but just have to keep the faith and burn the blue candle and pray for our SR's, I worry about my son so much and hope all is going well and he is doing great as I pray the same for all the SR's this is down to the wire and I am just a mess
Jamie I have heard to stop sending letters one week before graduation because they may not get them in time before graduation
YES, Ellis0502 , that is me today. Any ideas on when div 067 with pir 1-24, I was thinking this out and if say BS21 would be next week , would they have done the final pfa this week for sure you think ?
djk's mom - that is horrible and the biggest fear I'm sure we all have. prayers for all SR's that they will not have to make that same call
morning all, just over 8 days until graduation!!! so excited, got my blue candle burning and praying for or SR's as they are in the home stretch, an counting the days as well I am sure, cant wait to meet you all the new friends I have made on here!!
Good morning everybody!
Got my blue candle burning..if its not burning at work, its burning at home but today the hubby is home and I'm at work so we have TWO burning--double the prayer and positive thoughts for our SR's !!!
We're almost there!
OMG !! I have a friend with PIR 1/17 and one of the Moms just got a phone call that her Sr is not graduating.. I am sick for her! I am also more worried than ever.
Jaxmom: One more PFA to go...and the most important one since they must pass this one in order to do BattleStations. Blue candles lit and prayers for all!
