~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".

Friends,
No matter what each of our Sailors may be going through, they can hang onto this scripture:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind."
II Timothy 1:7
I know, I was sitting at the traffic signal today after getting some ingredients to make a healthy creamed spinach recipe that Daina made up and I realized that she wasn't going to come home for a long time and when she is home, it would be for 2 weeks (1 week RAP duty). She and her sister would probably want to be out all the time at the beach. It would be a tiny slice of the way things used to be, then she is off to her first command for 3 years (Hawaii or San Diego, we hope). I have to remind myself that she chose this path and that God has repeatedly confirmed it in all kinds of ways. Please pray for Daina's walk with the Lord to be strengthen and that she would be a light to others~~
Yes and Yes! The day after PIR was rough. Bittersweet seeing them and then seeing them off for months and years. Now that I have met mommas in person their Sailors are part of the whole-no longer just a name but a Sailor who is giving me the gift of freedom because of their service! Thank you mommas for letting them go!
Friends,
Here's another scripture to get our loved ones through this Navy adventure!
"We know that God causes all thngs to work together for good
to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:28
Kelso12,
