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".

Still waiting for ship 225 I'm a sailor call! Does anyone else feel like they are going to be sick or is it just me!!!
Comment by lori ship 12 div 228 on June 11, 2013 at 11:19am

Yeah...there was a lot of different dates floating around for div 225/226. We finally got an earned phone call from one of the guys in div 226 that confirmed that final date of last night:)

We are getting so close!!! YEA!!!

Comment by diannep on June 11, 2013 at 10:50am

Thanks, lori.  I had been told by someone that 225/226 were going through Sunday night.  Yes, they do have Sunday night BattleStations in some of the PIR groups, but not all.  Looks like calls from these divisions should be expected this afternoon, as they should have gone through last night!  931 may have been with them, so phones handy!  :-)

Good Morning!

Just read the post about Pensacola A school, whether they can have electronics. A friend of mine's son is at A school there (PIR was May 31). She sent his laptop, his phone, his ipad and a camera with him to Pensacola. When he arrived he was allowed to keep his phone. They have a secure storage for everything else. He will be able to phase up to getting those items. She said that it is very common for the sailors to arrive with the items, for them to be stored (securely), and then when they are given the approval to have them they simply get to go pick them up. Her son is in Aircrew candidate school which has more strict rules, so I can't say whether this applies to other A school programs. She mentioned that she was glad to have sent everything with him though...keeps from having to ship it. Thought I would put that out there :)

Good morning, I am leaving for Great Lakes thursday morning. @ Popasmom, I would asume so. If you are waiting for your "I am a Salior" call. It is so worth the wait to here them call and tell you that they passed all of their tests. It is an AMAZING feeling and such a RELIEF..Once they are finished with BS they will get to call home around 3:00p.m. Great Lakes time.. so keep you phones near attached to the hip.. Good luck to all!!! See you at the Meet and Greet at Sarges..

@popasmom,

I have not spoken to my SR since the third week he was there. That was before Mothers day, I have gotten letters from him weekly. I'd say yes; you are right, NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS.  Doesn't feel that way though!

Comment by popasmom on June 11, 2013 at 8:57am
Good morning, I'm going to be leaving Thursday headed to Great Lakes!!! Just wondering, are we still in the NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS stage? Does everyone get the opportunity to call home???
Comment by joyce0822 on June 11, 2013 at 8:19am

Now, I'm reading that at Pensacola A school, some Sailors can't have laptops.  And that rules can change often. Is there any way to find out if and who can have electronics at A school? 

Comment by joyce0822 on June 11, 2013 at 8:08am

Safe travels to all!  

We will leave to drive (it's only 6hrs for us) Thursday morning. I can't wait to meet you all. I'm so emotional this morning waiting for that call. Good Luck and Prayers to all our SR's.
