~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".

number3: Some recruiters will say that because the address they can get for your SR on the computer may not be correct. Others will give it out, hoping it is right. I would write your letters now so you can put on that address and mail all at once when you get the form letter! The form letters can take from a few days to a couple of weeks or more to arrive. But the mail is held from them for 2 weeks anyway as their Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained.
trishio: Yes, good to include a bandaid or two in a letter for the blisters. But no more than that since "thick" letters will require them to open them in front of the RDCs! They don't want to have to do that, even though they can keep the bandaids. They want no extra attention brought to them! :-)
Good Morning and welcome to the new members!

LaxDogsMom, that is awesome! I bet that was a wonderful experience. My son will be returning from an 8 month deployment on the Stennis next month. I am so excited to see him again.
Hello ladies, I'm Betsy and my youngest son is a CTT on the USS John C. Stennis, CVN 74 aircraft carrier. He graduated from boot camp in Dec. 2010 and I've been helping out on the PIR groups ever since. There are a great group of ladies on here, so if you have any questions, just ask away.

This site is very overwhelming! Thank god I have a girlfriend who just went through the process in January. One word of advice is when you start to send letters send one band aid in each letter. I guess they get blissters from their boots and are not able to get band aids. We learn something new everyday.
