~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"

Hi Amy - do you know A school is your daughter going to as yet?
Also Amy....there is no problem mentioning the week nights that BattleStations will be held (they pretty much go the same week nights from week to week)....just not the specific divisions going through on those nights is not allowed. I know that you were a bit vague in your post, but did mention a division number that would be calling a certain day. That is what we can't have. Please know that we caution all groups with this....just doing what RTC has asked us to do. Sorry if some of you are angry with us over this....we have lots of experience on this site and know the dos and don'ts. We understand that all want to help each other....and that is encouraged....but just post that you have a date for Division ___ and let others friend request/private message you for it please.
No problem, Amy. We just want to err on the side of caution. No worries....
Amy,
So glad you were trying to alleviate concerns, but it is just easy enough for one to look at a calendar and figure out what date is the next Tuesday based on someone's post. If someone really wants to know a specific date, it is best to private message each other then~~ No offense, just training all to be evasive with information regarding our sailors! ((HUGS))
Flydogmom,
Yes! Sarge's Meet & Greet is the best, funnest, and most informative~~
Hello there~~
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty
hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast
all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
I Peter 5:6-7
cant wait until 10/2 to see my son. is the Sarge's the meet and greet to go to?
Sorry ladies I just used my "powers" and deleted a bunch of posts. I know you are all getting very excited for what is up and coming in theses next couple of weeks, but PERSEC AND OPSEC still prevail.
Battlestations dates cannot be posted in a public forum, the RTC considers it ship movement. Not only does this mean this site, but it would also mean the FB pages. You can private message dates, but don't post them on this page.
Please also know that those of us here may also have information, by various means. The FB pages are not alone with their "information".
