OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

~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"

diannep: I like your "warm weather supplementation" :)
The last letter her Dad & I received was last Friday ~ it was a good length letter & her Dad very much enjoyed it :) Hoping for another this week & a call from her would be wonderful. (Her Dad missed her first call last month & he has not heard from hear by phone since.)

Wow that is a lot for electricity. Our's run's from $100 to about $180 depending on if we are heating or cooling. We have a few months each year that we don't need to heat or cool so that helps keep the price down :)
Good morning everyone, it looks like our weather put us on the national news lol. We didn't get as much as they forecast but that's okay with me. We still have about 10 inches and the possibility of more today. My hubby has been out shoveling all morning and taking care of the neighbors too. I hope everyone is warm and has power. Our daughter in college has been without power for since yesterday morning :(

cupcake: We supplement cooling with swimming pools, ocean swimming and dancing in the rain! :-) In the hot summer, we have been known to take cold showers/baths! HA! Paddle fans/stationary fans are helpful, but of course, if the temp is too hot in the house, they circulate hot/humid air----yuck. Many don't like it down here because of the heat/humidity. Heat is one thing, humidity another---makes you feel dirty even after a bath. It is during Jan-Mar that we shine in our weather to the nation...because the humidity is normally not as bad (until this year!) and the temps are mild---we are prime snowbird country here and depend on them alot for our tourist industry. We also keep green grass/plants year round! A neighbor recenlyt moved up to the Gainesville/Ocala area, mid-state. She misses her green grass and says it is COLD! That is only about 5 hrs north of us...we are very tropical down here, hence the reason we are prime for hurricanes hitting here starting in June and running through Nov. Every place to live has its up and down sides! :-)
You are correct! "A" School is totally different with communication back with your new sailor! It is wonderful, so get ready! Almost there for this group!
Good Morning!
