~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".

Hi Sunshine66!! :D
Hi Jersey Sam,
Good to see you on here!! Yes, each base has a Personal Property office, so have you Sailor look into getting their property transferred to their new duty station. I've read that when they receive their orders and airline tickets, that they can call an 800 number and have the ticket diverted to your home airport to have their leave, then they have to re-book another ticket from your home to their duty station. I think they can get the ticket reimbursed to them. Does your Sailor know about RAP duty where they can work at their recruiting office for 1 week from 8 - 5, and they will be able to come home every night to you and have another weekend with you. Contact your Sailor's recruiting office to let them know when your Sailor's leave is scheduled, so they can put him/her on their schedule and prepare the paperwork. Then when they report to their duty station, they need to do paperwork to be credited that week of leave back to them. So, your Sailor can spend 2 weeks at home, but only use 1 week of their leave. The one week of real leave they do whatever you guys plan. Hope you get that. I don't know if you are already are part of an A school group. You might want to ask your questions there if I haven't answered everything. I'm learning like you are. My daughter has 5 months of A school until August!

Molly's Mom,
Wow, I wished I was close enough to visit my Daina in Pensacola. How great for you!! If she ends up in San Diego when she is done with A school, then she would be only 2 hours away from us and that would be for 3 years, I think. We are hoping for a Hawaii assignment though and would actually want to move over there for the 3 years!! What is the rating of the ones who are going to San Diego and Hawaii? Are they all the same? Daina is IT. Thanks for updating us. I miss the moms on here and hope they are all active in their Navy Sailors' A school or rate/rating group! Oh, Daina classed up to Bravo and will be starting Tuesday (today). 3:00 pm to midnight. That will be an interesting schedule since she is usually an early bird--unlike her night owl mommy!! :D
Hi all,
Catching up on all your comments & advice. Just got back from a 9 days cruise. CatMom509, thank you for your prayers & verses. I just read from a Navy dad regarding the Personal Property office for the moving expenses. Any idea about those who attending A school in Mississippi? Are there the same too? Also, I heard that after they graduate on April 16, they still have to stay at the base for a week to wait for their 1st order as to where to go. Then they get to come home for 2 weeks. Heard something like they have to clear their leave days from the day they started BC - A school (3 months). They also have to pay for their own air fare home too. Anyone going to the graduation ceremony at A school in MS on April 16? Am I getting all this information correct? Please advise.
Friends,
"I pray also for those who will believe in Me
through their message, that all of them may be one,
Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.
May they also be in us so that the world may
believe that You have sent Me."

Friends,
