~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"

So I find it so odd that some in a division get to call home but then others don't? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason from the mom who hasn't gotten a call yet (except the I'm here call) it's very very hard. I'm so happy for those that have received their calls, and I know that no news is good news but it puts me on an emotional roller coaster. I'm thankful for the letter I got last week, and I'm happy to hear all that everyone is saying their SRs have told them but I'm a little sad tonight - but I'll just keep waiting by the phone.
Congrats Lula...what a relief for you :-D
Good Day!
"You have also given me the shield of
Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up,
Your gentleness has made me great. You
enlarged my path under me, so my feet did not slip."
Psalm 18:35-36
Good Morning! I remind you all to please read through the PAGES section to the right/above on this page for lots of info. Also, please read through the FAMILY GUIDE, which you can find under the Families tab on the RTC website....lots of info there too. Rules and regulations!
amy: Calls are totally random during Bootcamp so have your phone close at all times!
Blessed Sunday!
"...but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles,
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:31
Congrats on the call/letter, Lula!
Good Morning everyone!
