for
N4M'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".

Got my letter - ship 11 division 384
Comment by Lauren - Ship 11 Div 317 on August 23, 2013 at 12:49pm

any ideas on how to remove myself from this particular group?  I was given the wrong information, wrong division, I am hoping the correct ship!   Looks like we won't be graduating until 11/18.  I am certainly learning a lot from this group, just not in the correct one, lol

Comment by JerseyPeach on August 23, 2013 at 12:46pm

Hey yall....it's Peggy......yep......got the letter and ready to go!  Ship 11 Div 384

 

Comment by Marcelle on August 23, 2013 at 12:16pm
No form letter, just got mail....so sad, really sad
Comment by Marcelle on August 23, 2013 at 11:56am
diannep..thank you so much for your insight....The only good thing is that when I called the recruiter last friday and he gave me address ship12/div387...when i looked at the posting ellen0502 put up last night for brother divisions it does say div 387/388 is on ship 12 and the rest of address is correct for that ship...I truly appreciate all your help God Bless
Comment by diannep on August 23, 2013 at 11:46am

Marcelle:  The division number most likely will be the same that the recruiter gave you.  Sometimes the ship number changes (which means the entire division moved to a different barracks, usually for maintenance reasons).  The letters you write to the recruiter's address should get to him with the proper division number on there, even if the ship number/address turns out to be incorrect.  However, keep in mind that they don't receive mail for the first 2 weeks of Bootcamp. 

Personally, I would go ahead and write to the recruiter's address at this point...if you haven't already.  Just because it is close to time for them to receive mail and your form letter is taking a while to get to you.  We normally suggest you all wait for the form letter to mail out letters, but in this case, I would go ahead and do that.

CatMom509 - do you know anything about liberty time for A-School Pensacola?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 23, 2013 at 9:15am

Hang in there everyone, these first few weeks are the hardest. I tried so hard not to cry each day. I was not very successful at that lol. It seemed no matter where I went (small town) someone would ask about my daughter and how she was doing at boot camp. That was all it took and the tears would start to fall. I cried during patriotic songs on the radio, commercials on TV and was a complete blubbering fool when I watch the TV show Coming Home lol. It did get a little easier but even more than that i got a lot stronger. I know right now time seems to be dragging for you but when boot camp is over you wonder where that 8 weeks went :) We are here for ya {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
