Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy 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"

I received my son's first letter today!! He sounds pretty good. He said they have been shining shoes and working hard for inspections. They get rewarded with phone calls or monsters. Got my phone in my pocket or bra 24/7 from now on. I don't want to miss another call!

Pam,
Either the grandparents need to be part of your SR's 4 guests on his PIR Access List, or if they are traveling with you, but not on the List, they can view it in your hotel room on a laptop on the Livestream link or at the hotel wherever they are showing the Livestream. If they are home, they can also view it from a computer on the Livestream.
People who are not on the Access List must not be on base during PIR~~
You can also make sure the PIR DVD is ordered with your SR's pictures. Please let him know you want that. It is a MUST HAVE keepsake!
Here's the link for the A school group in Pensacola! You'll get lots of help for all your A school questions from the veteran moms there:

My son has been gone a week and 3days left on labor day and boy was it tough he is our oldest so proud of him. We came home my husband and I and we cried we said our boy is off on a new adventure and is not coming home in a long time.We received his box and formal letter so right away we wrote and everyone got his address. Hope he is doing okay can't wait for the first letter. Tim is on Ship 13 Division 341 and going to "A" school in Pensacola Florida.

Good morning all!
My husband got a phone call from our son last night! I was so bummed I was at work and missed hearing his voice, but my hubby said it was an information call! He needed his debit card sent to him and making sure we received the form letter. He said he was doing good! Can't wait till Oct. 24th!!

@CNC mine has been gone 10 days and that is all i have gotten too. But I just try to imagine how full his day is with training, learning, PT, and learning to be a sailor. I know he probably doesn't get any free time and if he does he probably spends it sleeping. I figure once he starts receiving the letters I am sending, he may write. I continue to write everyday anyway because it helps me cope.

For those having problems sleeping with someone in Bootcamp....try adding some nice fast walks to your daily schedule, and on these walks, think of happy thoughts/memories of your SRs and pray for them! You may find that this helps alot....sure helps me with my life!
Good Morning!

Kristie-the letters are most likely on the way. Keep your head up. Remember no news is good news. You will probably get a call this weekend.
