~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".

Ladies, the Navy doesn't plan like we do..:)
My sailor was in the first group for BS21,the first division number of the PIR and the last to fly out, flew out of Sunday. Some flew out to Pensacola on Saturday and some flew out on Sunday, you never know. We planned and stayed until Monday just encase and we did get an extra day with our new sailor. If you can stay until Sunday night.
Baciandro it would be interesting to know how they 'ship them out' LOL...but that may be like "how many licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop" The world may never know!!!! Haha. Seriously though I am not flying out until Sunday to be on the safe side. It would be nice to have that extra day. Especially since 930 will likely not get liberty until later (since they have to clean up and everything before Liberty).
Reply to Janet and Lisaz I'm taking his statement with a grain of salt at this point, LOL Because the needs of the Navy and all and so far nothing that has happened in Div 930 has gone according to the 'norm'. My understanding is that shipping out is by division, starting with the lower numbers. Being 930, they're at the end of the list which may be why he believe or has been told that it's Sunday. They may just group the Nukes together and fly them out together or they could end up going in smaller groups. I knew there were other Nukes in the overall graduating group, I have yet to ask our SR is he's run into any of them. There's just not enough pen and ink or minutes on a call to get down to the nitty gritty.
Pretty bracelet! Love Brighton, I wear the Anchors Away anklet...so cute!
LisaZ-- I love your bracelet! I have the Anchors Away Brighton Necklace that I also love. You may want to look that one up.
good morning diannep!
Good Morning All !
If anyone would like to see Lisaz's bracelet up close, just click on the picture and it will open up into a screen in a larger format. Click the back button on your computer to get back to the site.
You're welcome Lisaz! Great job and what a beautiful bracelet! I am sure she will love it!
