OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

~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"

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!!

USAproud- Try not to worry too much while you're on the cruise! Oh how I would love to be basking in the sun and swimming right now! lol He hasn't said too much. Last Sunday when he called he said he would be able to call Tuesday too, but then when he called Tuesday he said that they didn't get to make the phone call (I'm assuming he meant the whole division) and that he could only talk for a sec. That to me says maybe some guys weren't doing too well and they lost the privilege of being able to call on Tuesday. Im not exactly sure though. Then when I got his letters he said there are some guys who aren't doing too well. If your SR is anything like my husband though I'm sure he's doing good. My husband seems to love his RDCs and Chief. Also he said that the chief refers to 11 of them as the "fantastic 11" and he said those were the 11 guys in 163 that arrived before the others. My SR got there on 3/6.
Enjoy your cruise!

Usaproud- No call over here yet. I've noticed my husband usually calls around 7:30 their time. No matter what day of the week.

I feel like I've been spoiled with the amount of calls I've received! LOL I knew it was going to have to slow down eventually but at least they have a little less than 4 weeks left now. I really just want to tell him that I sent him his debit card and to keep an eye out for it! LOL Im glad you heard from your SR and that he is doing well :)
