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."

CLICK ME forN4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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".

Comment by CatMom509 on March 18, 2013 at 6:38am: Hi Everyone,

This is for future reference when your Sailor changes from A school to their new base/ship or maybe even C school. Each base has their own Personal Property office. I didn't want to wait till after PIR to give this info to you all (didn't want to forget).

Comment by Dad of Sailor, IT Corry Station 13 hours ago

Personal Property Information for those in Pensacola/Corry Station.

I wanted to give you all a heads up that your Sailors are authorized personal property shipments when they leave A School headed to their first duty station. My son said no one knew about it and for some reason the schools do not tell the students about this and my son said his friends were all paying out of pocket to ship stuff home.

Once they have hard copy orders they need to visit the personal property office and they will be given instructions on how to ship their goods at the Navy's expense. Sailors should not be paying to move themselves. I got the information for my son and he went and did it and found it an easy process.

Personal Property Office - Corry Station

Comment by Rhody Navy Mom on March 17, 2013 at 9:09pm: Can everyone believe that we are down to single digits counting down to PIR? So excited and packed, ready to go for Thursday morning. Safe travels for everyone! Hoping to see everyone at Sarge's Meet and Greet Thursday night!

Comment by CatMom509 on March 17, 2013 at 7:03pm: DelawareMom,

Any homemade goodies in a ziplock bag he could take with him to A school!!

Comment by CatMom509 on March 17, 2013 at 7:01pm: DelawareMom,

Don't forget the charger for his cellphone! Also, the AC adapter for the laptop so he can plug into the wall in his room instead of the laptop constantly running on its battery.

Comment by diannep on March 17, 2013 at 5:20pm: Your marriage certificate should solve that problem, DelawareMom.

Comment by diannep on March 17, 2013 at 5:18pm: DelawareMom: RTC FB should post the results probably tomorrow.

Comment by Delaware Mom ( Ship 03 Div 123) on March 17, 2013 at 4:07pm: Any word on the Captain's Cup or where we'll see info posted?

Comment by Delaware Mom ( Ship 03 Div 123) on March 17, 2013 at 3:50pm: LaLa, officially for business reasons I don't use my married name, I use my maiden. My son has always been under the assumption I took his stepfathers name and I guess it hasn't come up in the 15+ years we've been married LOL

TY Nicks Mom- I will pack those things and I look forward to meeting you also!

Comment by Rhody Navy Mom on March 17, 2013 at 1:11pm: Delaware Mom - bring some of his own underwear, boxers whatever. I hear they can wear their own and not the 'whitey tights' they are issues after Boot camp. I am packing 7 pairs. Also, a change of clothes (t-shirt/sweatpants). Most said their SR took a long hot shower and relaxed in the hotel room, this way they can change out of their uniforms while they are at the hotel and then change back when they leave the hotel (in public they need their uniforms on). My son also asked for his fav junk food - M&M's, starburst, etc. Looking forward to meeting you this week! :)

           "The Lord is my strength and my song;

             He has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise Him,

             My father's God, and I will exalt Him."
