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."

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".

Hello Moms, 

Went Corry Station to see my Sailor.  He is doing well and is enjoying school.  He says his instructor is great and is learning a great deal.  Pensacola was nice, next time I will try to stay at the Navy Lodge.  Be well.....Happy 4th of July

The DVD will probably come regular mail, so as long as there is a forwarding address it shouldn't be a problem.

Comment by b26kid19(13/196) on June 19, 2013 at 4:08pm
Does anyone know where the DVD will be coming from? We have had an address change and I don't believe FedEx forwards . Is there a nber I can call to submit an address change? Either that or I'll have one of our old neighbors look out for it

That's all very good news. Congratulations!

Hello hope everyone is doing well. I went to see my fiancé this weekend at ft meade. He is doing well and is starting to enjoy his time there now that school has started. We are getting married next weekend.

My son said his A school class should begin on Monday. They will have a large influx of additional sailors after Friday's PIR.

Luvmyboyz, I hope you are able to find out the answer to your question. I'm trying to find out whether they still will have TriCare insurance when my son is in Reserve status (after A School). I'll probably have to search more. I know I read it somewhere before.
Comment by Lighthouse3 Div203 PIR5/24/13 on June 5, 2013 at 11:25am

Youngestson, I am so sorry to learn that he passed away.    A lot of doctor/medical bills can be negotiated down. May the Lord comfort and provide for his family and give her son a safe trip home.

Comment by Luvmyboyz on June 4, 2013 at 12:23pm

I have questions from my Sailor concerning a rate change from his current A School (Port Hueneme) but have no idea where to look or who to ask. 

Comment by Paula (Will's Mom) on June 2, 2013 at 11:51am
Catie- it is the hardest part.
Comment by Catie on June 2, 2013 at 7:50am
