~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"

Wow!! Those are whoppers for bills! Being up north, at least we can supplement our heating costs with burning fires in our wood burner - which has saved us about $200 + this year per month! I don't know how on earth you could supplement cooling?? It has been a hard winter for sure for most of the country. On another note - I keep running to the mail box hoping to get a letter from my son.. and nothing comes. I know he's busy and he managed to squeek out a few line to his gf, but nothing to his mom.. :( He did call me 3x though, saying how tough the rcpo job was. I sure he's got his hands full & I take comfort in that when he goes off to A school, at least we can keep up via text/ email??

I can't imagine those kinds of electric bills for the a/c! Oh, yea, your humidity is "legendary"--YIKES is right!!

Congrats, LizzieHusband!
CatMom: Our a/cs run most of the year....in the summer, our bills can get into the $300+/monthly---before they lowered their rates a couple of years ago, mine actually was over $500 a couple of months! YIKES!. I look forward to having electric bills in the winter that are actually in the low $200's or under (2 story house so harder to cool). We are not getting much of a break this winter with our warmer weather.
I have no heat in my house, and rarely does it get cold enough for anyone to use heat (although some do)....so the a/c is the majority of our electricity use. We need the a/c too to dry out the humidity....the difference in FL and CA weather-wise is the humidity---we have tons, you all are more dry!. Glad you don't have to run yours much!

diannep,
Wow, running your a/c?? We have had a mild winter too in Southern California--shorts, short sleeved tops, flip flops, occasionally a sweatshirt--and haven't needed our a/c...thank our God!! Very dry and hardly any rain, but Northern California got 9 of rain the last storm late last week/early this week!
