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

forN4M'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".

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2013 at 12:20pm: Wonderful story, Lala, and now that little girl would be all grown up! I know she has sad memories today...but so happy her daddy was alright.

There was a Navy Mom on here a couple of years ago. We traded some private messages when her son was in bootcamp. Her brother was killed in this tragedy...Sad thing? He was trying to mend the relationship with his 18 yr old son...they had been doing more things together and had some big plans for something else before this happened. Also sad...he wasn't supposed to go into work that day, but just wanted to go in early that morning to get a few things done. Sigh...

Comment by Dannaproud on September 11, 2013 at 11:34am: Lala, moved to tears by your story. Brought back memories of my own and makes me think of times to come. God please bring peace and comfort to those who lost someone on 911, and those military families who have lost someone since. Please watch over us in these trying times and keep our children safe. Amen.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 11, 2013 at 10:10am: Good morning everyone, I hope everyone takes some time today to remember those who lost their lives on 9-11 and keep all their family members in our thoughts and prayers. I don't think there is a one of us who doesn't remember where we were on that day. I am a substitute teacher and was teaching a high school health education class when another teacher called the room and told me to turn on the television. I had 11 students in that class and we watched in disbelief the scene of the first plane hitting the tower and I remember thinking what a terrible accident and we were all horrified when the second plane hit. We all cried together and I remember this overwhelming feeling of wanting to go to the elementary school and pick up my own kids and take them home. There was a girl in the the class who seemed much more upset, almost uncontrollable. And she asked to use the phone to call her dad. Even though this was not normally allowed I let her make the call. She didn't get an answer and she was crying. I hugged her and asked why she needed to reach her dad. She said he is a Navy Officer and works at the Pentagon and is home on leave. She said I know he will have to leave and I just want to say goodbye. By now I couldn't stop the tears rolling down my face. She tried the call over and over and over as we continued watching the broadcast. Then there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and there stood her dad in his dress uniform. Oh my goodness I can't even begin to describe the way I felt when this young girl looked up and saw him and ran into his arms. No matter what I will never ever forget that day. I think all of us were affected deeply in so many ways and my heart goes out to all of America and the 90 other countries who have families who lost someone in this tragedy. May God Bless all of them and all of you.

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2013 at 8:15am: I agree PA Mom. Honoring our military today as we remember the families affected by 9/11 and the resulting change in our country as a result of that day. Prayers for all.

Comment by diannep on September 11, 2013 at 8:15am: Good Morning All !

Comment by Pa Mom (div 368) LS sailor on September 11, 2013 at 6:50am: In the Anniversary of 9/11 I feel a special pride for our SR in making a commitment to keeping America Free. Many were pretty young that day but they remember and want to protect our great nation. God bless our soon to be sailors and all the great men and women in our military and there families.

Comment by diannep on September 10, 2013 at 9:59pm: navymom: You will need to call the Photo Lab to ask about that. But your SR has to be the one to order them now. You can order them after PIR if your SR does not. Just go to the Photo Lab, next to the NEX:

     "For God has not given us a spirit of fear,

      but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
