OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

~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"

Melissa torres, hopefully you will get a call very soon. It looks like their brother division got to call today so hopefully his division will call next. Keep your phone very close just in case :)

My son is in div 237.. He has waited for this time in his life since he was 10! I missed his I'm here call so the first call came yesterday... He sounded so sad and homesick.. My heart broke in an instant.. He said its much harder than he anticipated... We just got his letter so I mailed 2 letters that day to him, he was happy to hear that.. I'm so happy to have found this site! It's helping me along!

So thankful I received a CALL!! He sounded well, says is face is swollen and bruised from his wisdom teeth being pulled, says he's doing well. He told me that he did not write me because he knew that he was getting this call today and there is not much time to do extra so he wrote a couple of people and he is calling me...Just so glad to know he's okay after the dentist and he's out of SIQ? I think that's what it's called. he has head duty lol I had to fight to get him to clean the bathroom....the NAAVY is good!!!

Ted,
Knowing you don't typically write letters that will mean the world to him. Ur letters and you wife's will become cherished memories.

I also write everyday. I make sure to write on the back too so that the envelope isn't to big. I picked up a bunch of cards this weekend so it is something a ill different. I printed out off my computer some pictures of random fuunies, pictures of all of at different times, or whatever he would find interesting. Of course I had to give him blow by blow info of the season finale of Game Of Thrones. That took a little bit of time, but he would love knowing the ending. I truly hope all our efforts cheer our SR. and let them know we are here for them!
