~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"

Leaving this group now....blessings to your new sailors in their Navy futures!
You're very welcome, BrettsMomWA & Mitchmon!!
Congrats to everyone. I will be moving on to Pensacola A school group. Take care and HOOYAH!
Thanks for the advice CatMom! Much appreciated!
Congrats to all the Sailors and Moms that were at Graduation this past Friday! We had an amazing time getting to see our Sailor graduate and then spending some time with him before he left for A School... Memories we all will cherish for always! I am going to move onto the Nuke Mom's group... and i'm sure i'll see a few of you there as there was quite a group leaving out Saturday morning :) We adopted a sailor - Buch - that is what they were calling him, so i wont post all his info - but if his Mom is here - we took good care of him! :)
Mitchmom & Kit,
Here's a Corpsman Moms and Dads group that is active. Marcy is the admin. Look at the last date of activity when looking for a new group. It should be from this month and year. There are so many groups that were started and then abandoned by others. Just a little different phrasing will bring you to an inactive group~~

BrettsMomWA,
That's the correct group!! I forgot to say that the ITs train at Corry Station. My Sailor daughter is an IT3 on shore duty at Norfolk right now.
Tell your son to keep on top of his studies and don't hang out with the wrong crowd of Sailors. There was underage drinking and all sorts of trouble when my daughter was training last year, but her group stayed clean.
If he gets 1st or 2nd in his class, he will get to choose his duty station. My daughter got 2nd in class and got to advance to E-4 (Petty Officer 3rd Class) without having to take the test!! She was an E-2 when she earned that! Had to wait 5 months at her first duty station before she actually got it...
BrettsMomWA,
Here is the Pensacola group I was a part of! It's usually pretty active and I have friends that oversee it and answer questions. Is your Sailor at NAS or Corry Station?
