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

~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"

Yes, I agree. There is nothing like the emotions they go through during Bootcamp. My son said the same thing when he was there back in 2009. He said you are cut off from the outside world....they get very little news, etc....and are contained on the base (my normally chatty son was stone silent as we drove off of RTC on the shuttle....and I asked him why and he said he had not seen anything outside the base in 10 weeks (he had Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years holidays in his Bootcamp time which made it longer....and he was delayed a week on top of that)...they are told everything to do, and in trouble when they do something they weren't told to do! They have no one to vent on since obviously they can't call you whenever they want....they can only write letters, then wait until Sunday for them to be collected. They can only mail one once a week, but receive mail M-F. So they learn to trust and rely on each other....the great start of the military friendships!
Remind your SRs in your letters that A School is a totally different thing! It is more like a college experience, but more strict, but nothing like Bootcamp. And, they are back in contact with friends/family then! YAH!

Ampingitup- She will appreciate you more. My daughter is 17. She will turn 18 while in bootcamp. She sounded very appreciative when we talked. They will be different people when the get out of bootcamp.

Irishmama-what ship and division is your daughter in?

My daughter didn't cry until we talked Saturday. My wife and I were on the phone and we told her we missed her. She cried a little bit, but she was okay after that.

My call was nothing like that, very upset, homesick, not sleeping, and getting in trouble because she was given an "in charge" job and none of the girls will listen to her... Very sad mama!!

Ampingitup - I haven't gotten my first real letter yet. I hope to get one soon. A friend of mine that is still in the Navy told me to be ready to cry when I read them. I am kind of a sissy I know but he said that the letters are usually filled with lots of emotion. I still cant wait, I told my son that I wont even complain about his sloppy handwriting. :)
