~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"

Good morning! The end of the last weekend of boot camp. Congratulations to those who have gotten calls and prayers and positive thoughts for those yet to go through BS 21 this week!
Good Morning! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Greetings!

let the hearts of those who
seek the Lord rejoice." <3

Wow, Mdsmds. That is a long time to wait! I know that call was extra extra special!
Today is Captains Cup for this group. Should be starting in about an hour. A fun athletic competition between divisions in the PIR group!
Good Morning All !
Congrats, Mdsmds!
Bobbie: Just checked your page and the week/day count end of August you provided then. Hmmm....so now I'm thinking that maybe just the 800 divisions went through last night according to your week/day count. I had forgotten that we communicated before on that. More likely that 299/300 will be calling early next week then. Thanks for reminding me! It is not often that the 800 division(s) go before the first 2 divisions in a PIR group, but seems that happened this time.
Bobbie: We think that 299/300 and the 800 divisions (2) went through BattleStations last night. If so, calls will start from them shortly and also, be checking their FB accounts too as some get on computers before the phones.
K, thanks! @ CatMom509
