~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"

Hootsmom: Normally, the coins are given by superiors to the sailors.....so not sure it would be right for your new sailor to give a coin to his RDC. I think some kind words after PIR from you to his RDC would be reward enough. It always helps to know that a person has done a great job!
Just printed my gate pass for June 19, 2015. Counting down the days to hug her again. Omgish. it has not been easy.
Hi everyone, I just printed my gate pass- yeah so excited. How is everyone feeling?
Hello All!
"Cast your cares on the Lord
and He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous fall."
Psalm 55:22
Hootsmom: I'm no sure of the protocol for giving the coins...I know they are rewarded to the sailors, and also that those with SRs in Bootcamp normally get their ship one. I'll see if I can find out anything about the possibility of your new sailor presenting one to his RDC.
Can you provide some insight into what will take place around the Honor Recruit and awards event. What about the seating, it is wonderful to be in a reserved section but I have heard that it is not advantageous for pictures or viewing the ceremony well, is this true? Suggestions? Also is it at all customary for SRs to give challenge coins to RDC? I found a great Chief Petty Officer coin, really nice and one particular RDC has been a big influence for him, is that done?
You are very welcome! Good Morning!
