~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"

Did anyone see any additional information on door decorations/poster for Navy Lodge? I know there was a discussion, but did not see anything else on what we can do and how to attach to door. Any input?

CatMom509, Thank you for your bible verse posts. I send my son the Encouraging Word from K love. I feel it is very important for him to know that God is with him. Thanks for your inspiration.

I'm still collecting BattleStations dates for this group. Only have 103/104 so far. Does anyone have more received from their SRs? If so, please do not post here on this site or in the FB groups. RTC asked us not to do that. But we are allowed to private message, so please friend request it to me or private message it to me. Thanks!

Friends,
This scripture is so appropriate for the Battlestations that your SRs will be going through soon. Perhaps you can share with your SR in a letter now.
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior..."
Isaiah 43:1b-3a

Is there a way to save comments or links. I am going to try and watch the PIR live stream tomorrow and I was looking for the link. I found what I think is it, but want to save it somewhere on my page to use in the morning. Any suggestions?
