WELCOME to PIR 04/12/2013!
~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".

FishingQuilter,
You're so very welcome! I love this new ministry that the Lord has put on my heart to speak to us moms and our beloved special Sailors! Please let you daughter know that she has really warmed my heart by her appreciation of that verse. When I found it skimming through my Bible, I knew that I had found a precious gem of a verse that would be something our SRs could hang onto while going through perhaps one of the biggest tests of their lives!! (((HUGS))) to you and your girl!!

@ CatMom509 - I must thank you directly and publicly for the wonderful inspirational Bible verses you have been supplying us for weeks. You recently gave us something that was perfect for Battlestations. I added it to a card I had ready to send to my daughter. Today, after PIR, she told me that she really appreciated THAT PARTICULAR VERSE at that time. She said that it was really perfect! You put such thought into what you provide us, and I just wanted to let you know that it was really appreciated. Thank you again!

Also, keep involved in Navy for Moms!! There are A school groups specific to the base or your Sailor's rate, geographical ones for your state or region, Mom's of Navy Daughters (original) and 2 (there's 2 groups), Christian Chat (800 + members started by EV--that I am a part of), etc... Just check out the Groups and put in a query. Don't forget to pop in here too to see what the Sailors and their moms are up to from time to time.
CONGRATULATIONS to everyone!! God's Blessings to you all~~

Congratulations to all of you ladies (and gentlemen) for graduating from BC!!!
Remember to check back in to this group to let everyone know where your sailors is, how they are doing and where they are headed. Some of you will have sailors who will be in school together or even end up out in the fleet together after school!

Happy Friday Everyone!
