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"

LoriM,

If your Sailor daughter is like you, she's got what it takes to get A school done landing on the top!!  ((HUGS)) 

How long is her A school when she classes up? (Enough Sailors show up in the same rating to start actual training).

Comment by LoriM on October 16, 2014 at 12:36pm

Yes CatMom that is true a slice of society as I was also in the Navy...but geez to be so excited to start your life then have a roomie that is not happy,, it is like that friend you love but that is never happy... lol  just tough situation

Comment by CatMom509 on October 16, 2014 at 4:20am

LoriM,

Being in the Navy is being in a slice of society.  Gonna come across people she will hit it off and those she needs to stay away from.  I totally understand wanting to protect them and shelter them and we were able to do that for at least 18 years or when they decided to strike out on their own.

My Sailor daughter ended up with another Sailor who was a slob and didn't respect her boundaries, would toss her stuff on my daughter's bed.  She was so glad when the other Sailor left and I'm not sure the circumstances.  She ran out and got cleaning supplies, then she got changed to a room where the roommate was hardly there because that girl had a boyfriend she was staying with all the time. It was like my daughter had her own room!  My daughter just kept her distance from the lazy ones and became friends with ones she related to and were great students.  Our strong Sailors who are sure of their Navy journey is not going to let someone who isn't making it for whatever reasons (lacking in academic skills, just want to give up....etc...) sway them and their decision.  That's why there is the top of the class, the middle, and the rest...

The Navy life is one of separation from one's family, if a Sailor doesn't realize that yet, then the Navy isn't for them...what a waste of training for the Navy...  Everyone worries if they are going to do well, just have to put out the effort~~

Thank you CatMom509,,, you are right,, she has taken it with a grain of salt, however as a mom, I worry.  I know she is a strong Sailor and very sure of herself so I do not think it will have any impact on her.  However, what if it was a Sailor that was homesick,,a worrier etc., it could have a negative impact on them..

Comment by LoriM on October 15, 2014 at 9:37pm

I stayed at Navy Lodge last weekend for my daughter's PIR and Dec 5 I will be staying there again for another's PIR.  It was clean and very friendly.

Comment by CatMom509 on October 15, 2014 at 2:30pm

LoriM,

At A school, they always seem to pair a Sailor further along in their training with a brand new Sailor.  I'm sure they are looking at time in.  I agree that Sailors being separated should be housed in a different barrack other than one where new Sailors are coming in, but who knows how far the roommate's paperwork has gotten. 

Have your daughter talk to her LPO to request to be transferred to another room. 

Praying for protection for your Sailor daughter.  She's just needs to deal with different people and not engage with that person or she can be positive and encouraging as best that she can~~

We stayed at Navy Lodge last weekend and did not have any problems.  I highly recommend the hotel.  My sailor got to come  and go at the hotel Friday through Monday with no problems at all.
