~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"

JTDs mom... Our sons are in the same ship and div. My SR also sounded a lil stressed about the up coming tests but overall not too bad. I didn't even think to ask him about getting a leadership role. He split his calling time between family and his gf. She and I keep each other posted and combine info.

Kathy,
As far as I can tell, the next couple of weekends, all day Saturdays 8:00 am until 8:00 pm Great Lakes time and Sunday afternoons to the same time (no calls during church/Holiday schedule which is the before 1pm time as diannep stated) But they do make calls during the week too, can't tell what day, but the time span is the same~~ Then they should go into the radio silence time and you will just receive their letters.

SusanB: It is a very common place for women with someone in Bootcamp to keep their phones!

Diannep, how did you know I kept my cell phone there? haha I have warned everyone at work that no matter what I am doing.. I will drop everything and answer my phone if a number shows up that I don't know. When my recruit called, it was a number from Dallas, TX. (most likely due to his calling card). :)

A PRAYER FOR MY RECRUIT
Father, in the coming days I will need You, but my recruit will need You more.
Let him perform his tasks with a sense of duty, not of anger or vengeance.
Let his reflexes be quick and his hands steady.
Let his head be clear and his eyes sharp.
Let his mind and body be strong and his spirit stronger.
Christ, please stand by my recruit and watch his back when he cannot.
Father, I love this recruit of mine! Take from ME,
what he needs and give me what he does not.
I will pace the nights, if it means he gets some sleep.
I will deal with fatigue, if it means he will have energy.
I will carry his fear if it means it gives him courage.
I will take his pain, if it means he is healthy and whole.
I will take his anger, if it means he is at peace.
Take from me my love and pride and let him feel it! Let him know that I am with him every step of the way.
Please, take from me what You can; I give it willingly and with love.
It is all that I have besides my prayers.
Above all, please help my recruit achieve his goal of becoming a United States Sailor. This I ask on bended knee, that which I cannot do without You.
Amen.
