Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

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

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

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"

ajsmom:  That is strange since they take the uniform cost out of his Navy pay.  He shouldn't need to pay with his own cash????  The only way to get cash there is to mail it, maybe priority mail (but this will not guarantee that your SR gets it in 3 days since the guarantee is only to the base mail facility....it will take longer to get into your SR's hands).  I personally would be a little nervous to mail cash...especially alot of it.  Personally, I would have more questions for him before I would mail anything.

ewiemarie:  No, the I'm a Sailor call is a REAL CALL!  They usually get a good long time to talk.  But be warned....they are exhausted!  have been up since early morning the day before.  But they are happy!

Comment by aj's mom on August 12, 2014 at 8:21pm

I need a question answered.  How do I send money to my SR?  He said he didn't get his debit card and needs to buy a uniform???

Comment by evviemarie on August 12, 2014 at 4:53pm

Thank you Navygirlsmom...I will keep hoping I get a call from him

Comment by Navygirlsmom on August 12, 2014 at 4:42pm

I hear the I'm a sailor calls are 30-45 min and they can call multiple people in that time....that is just what I've read on here.

Comment by ProudNavyMom on August 12, 2014 at 4:38pm

Christine,

I have that info cuz my son is in the same division. I was going to send the info to you in a friend request, but accidently just sent the request without the info. if you accept I can private message the battle stations info to you.

Does anyone know if the "I'm a Sailor" call is scripted like the "I made it to GL" call we got the first night they arrived?  I haven't heard from my SR in 3weeks and no phone calls from him. (I'm not sure if the calling cards his Dad got him even work.)

Comment by CatMom509 on August 12, 2014 at 4:07pm

Michelle,

Praying that no call means your SR passed his PFA!!

Comment by CatMom509 on August 12, 2014 at 4:05pm

Greetings All!
