DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

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"

I got a call too from my son yesterday - it was wonderful!.  He said he has 48 hours liberty after PIR.  Would that mean that he needs to be back by mid day Sunday?  Just want to make sure I book my flight home for after he goes back to base.  So I was thinking late Sunday would be safe.  Would love feedback.

Hoping another call comes soon for you, Jacob94mom!

Good morning! Aaahhhh some beach somewhere would really sooth my soul right now. Still bummed about missing the call yesterday.
Comment by diannep on April 27, 2014 at 7:40am

I think you are right, Lala.  They have already had several walks on the beach....they are staying at my parents' place which is right on the beach.  When they get to my house....i.e., NOT on the beach....they may be bored!  :-)

Good Morning All !

Diannep, after the winter we had here I am sure they will love it, especially if they spend it at the beach :)

Comment by Jacob94mom on April 26, 2014 at 8:14pm
Thanks CatMom- I did send him a letter stating that, and even the numbers (since he doesn't have his phone he can't just dial "mom" or "dad") he probably hasn't gotten it yet. I was at work and don't get cell reception anyway. We will be sure to forward the home calls to our cell if at least one of is isn't going to be here. I wasn't really expecting him to call yet. :( Crossing my fingers he will get to call again.
Comment by ellen0502 on April 26, 2014 at 7:51pm

The mail that is priority to sort for mail call is the current days mail, any letters that were sent prior to a recruit being trained would have been set aside (nobody will sort it) and sorted as it can be by the RMPO. That is how some receive mail and others don't, why letters are out of order etc. It may take a week or so, but it will all get to them. :)
