for
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"

Good Morning!

Reading below that this is part of the home stretch has me feeling so emotional this morning!  We are well past the mid point and I think we all got a little spoiled with the amount of phone calls we received a few weeks back - they were totally unexpected and we got used to hearing from them.  He wrote a lot at the beginning, but this past week received only one letter. Sounds good, but tired. I know our SRs are looking forward to BC being over as much as we are!  Hang in there friends...we're almost there !!

Comment by CatMom509 on March 23, 2014 at 4:37am

Friends,

Your SRs are going into the "radio silence" mode where pretty much the only contact you will have is their weekly letters.  They are entering the intense and busy part of their training.  They will be tested on their barracks, uniforms, marching, and how well they finally pull together.  They can earn reward flags to hold proudly in front of their divisions at PIR.  At the end and right before they start going into Battlestations, they may be allowed a call if they are doing well as a division.  This is in addition to their "I'm a Sailor" call, so rest easy everyone, this phase is part of the home stretch!!  Keep writing those letters!!

Hi All, received a letter from my SR on thursday and said he was informed no more calls until graduation, sad, last phone call was on 03/08 (ship 3 div 148)
Comment by MissMaryE (ship03 DIV147) on March 23, 2014 at 2:00am
Sad...no call today! Carried my phone with me all day in hopes... I'm sure everything is just as it should be.
Comment by RedneckHippie on March 22, 2014 at 8:04pm
No phone call today.
Comment by HuntersMom on March 22, 2014 at 5:19pm

I am on a Navy Support Group on Facebook and a mom said her SR told her that. I pray he is in that schedule. I just need to hear from him. Thanks

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2014 at 4:50pm

HuntersMom:  Who said that the phone center was booked for 2 weeks?  They probably schedule out that far anyway, and I maybe your division is in that schedule?

Comment by HuntersMom on March 22, 2014 at 4:45pm
Why are we not hearing from our SRs in division #148? No call last Saturday and looks like no calls today. I didn't get a letter last week. Of course I am worried. Someone said that the phone center was booked for two weeks on another support group.I thought divisions took turns? I just was wondering if anyone else has heard from their Sr from this division?
