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"

My son and his friends would come and get in our hot tub after work so I'm going to write him a letter from the hot tub lol. How it misses him and his friends and there stories, he should get a good laugh out of that.

Welcome, Liz819! You should get the letter soon! I got mine I think Thursday. Waiting on a letter now! Keep your chin up! I know it hard sometimes...have a good day!

Liz, welcome aboard. My son swore in on 4/16. By now the info the recruiter has should be pretty solid, I would think. Anyway, we are glad you joined us.

Hello all! I am new to this site(I've been on N4M FB page). My son left 4/16. I caved last night and called the recruiter to get ship/Div./PIR date-the suspense was killing me!! Now I am still waiting for the official letter before sending letters or making travel arrangements.....and waiting...:)

Everyone will eventually have their "letter" day....the day of the week you hope for a letter from your SR. Mine was Thurs (I live in S FL). It is an exciting day! Some mail carriers are wonderful if they know you have someone in Bootcamp....they just MAY stop by with your letter before delivering the rest of their mail...you never know!

yes, I too, looked in the pantry at a lot of her snacks that she bought and teared up! Afraid if I eat them a little piece of her goes away lol!. Good way to diet I suppose! I wrote her today, I took a picture of her cat and then cut it into pieces for her to put together and find out what it is ha ha! got that idea from my nephews wife who is also a Navy wife. I am looking to send a devotion in each letter and maybe some kind of puzzle for her to do to pass the time or magazine articles she used to read. I scanned her facebook and let her know the posts of people she knows. has kept me busy!

From what Veteran moms have told me mail usually arrives on Wednesday, Thursday or Fridays depending on where in the country you live. Mailman stalking time tomorrow :)
