~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"

@KristinaNH, thank you, it is competitive here also. I wasn't getting rehired at my old district, I was losing out to experience as well. I can tell you it is a numbers game when it comes to interviews. This is my third year out of school. My first I spent subbing, had two interviews. My second was in sixth grade, hired after school started, non-continuing, I would guess about ten interviews. This year about twenty interviews, and finally get a continuing contract. Keep at it, you will end up where you're supposed to be. The work for my Masters also helps me stay busy. And when I say my seven year old can't handle the change, I mean it's horrible. She has some OCD issues, and can't express her words as well as some other kids can, which means that when she is overly frustrated she has horrible tantrums. She was at a water park, when her sister left, which helped with the transition that day. We spent the day before at the water park with her, and that night they said their goodbyes. The letter addressed specially to her, helped a lot. Today was a much better day for her. She's excited sissy told her to tell me to take her to lunch next week, and sissy would pay for it. :) We are counting down the Fridays until we get to hug her. We watched graduation this morning to help prepare her for the wait of sitting there. It will definitely be a long six weeks. But worth it when we see her.
THANK U codysmom..my guy looks great!!!
Happy Friday!!
"Praise the name of the Lord,
for His name alone is exalted;
His name is above Earth and Heaven."
Psalm 148:13
My daughter is in Div 262, I have had no call or personal letter yet. Glad to hear that so many are starting to hear from their recruit.
Anadajoy, they are given the option of throwing away, donating or sending back. They pay for the shipping so the heavier the box the more it costs to ship back. Luckily my son trashed his shoes and socks... I wasn't looking forward to that smell :)
I'm wondering why I got a FedEx package with only my son's debit card, phone and binder he took with him...no clothing or shoes. I expected his civilian clothes to come in a box. Anyone else?
