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."

N4M's Community Guidelines
and
OPSEC.

~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 everyone! I wish that I was allowed to post a pic of my sailor because you would get a kick out of the one he just sent to me! They moved today and someone took a pic of him with all of his stuff strapped on him..and his big duffle (seabag?) and his backpack and the small duffle that we bought at the NEX. It is a hoot! I am not sure where the blender is that we got at the NEX but maybe it is in one of the dufflle bags Too funny! But, the rule is that they have to be able to carry it and he IS carrying it all! Haha! I hope that all of you are having a great day!

Oh Lala, I am so sorry to hear this news. I am happy that the mother has her son. I will continue to pray for all of them. What a horrible tragedy.

@Lala Ribbon Oh my goodness thank you for the update and I will continue too pray (as well as my church) for this and the other families!!! Lord Jesus!!! My heart aches for this mama!!!
Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 9, 2014 at 10:21pm

Hi everyone. I have had several emails and messages asking if there are any updates on my son-in-laws family who was swept away by the mudslide in WA. It is easier to update here than to send out so many messages and emails.

Billy Splillers and his children were home when the mudslide hit. His wife was at work. Their four year old son was among the first to be rescued after the mudslide. He was pulled free from the mud by firefighters and a helicopter and was reunited with his mom when she found him at a local hospital. It was announced on Monday that Billy was identified as the latest slide victim. Their daughter Kaylee, 5, was among the first victims identified. The body of their 13-year-old son (Billy's stepson) Jovon was identified last Thursday and their 2-year-old baby girl Brooke, is still missing. The family truly appreciates all the love, support, thoughts and prayers from all of our extended Navy family and I really appreciate the support we have received from all of you. There are 3 victims that have not been identified and 12 are still missing. Please continue to keep all the families affected by this disaster in your thoughts and prayers.    Thanks so much <3 <3 <3

Comment by Em'smom on April 8, 2014 at 10:26am

Annabel Lee;;;It will get easier now that we can communicate.  Give him time to catch up with all his friends, they are young and at this point it's all about what they missed out on while they didn't have phones...lol

Comment by Annabel Lee on April 3, 2014 at 6:47pm
MattsMom, and Em'smom, It's still hard though. I'm still having trouble letting him go, but I'm trying to not smother him....lol. He only texted last night, and it was short..so I texted him and told him to call me tonight. I just went too long not hearing his voice! Entirely too long!!!
