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."

forN4M'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".

Hi. I did receive a letter from my daughter ...DIV 407...late this afternoon..lots of info crammed onto index cards...but the info she sent was this....
(removed BS date)
Friday Oct 19 yesterday was their final PFA
Monday Oct. 21 will be test 3 firefighting
Also, Oct. 22 is drill inspection
Oct. 24 will be drill practice, liberty brief, and photo pickups.
My daughter will be going to A school in another state and she will be shipping out early Sat morning at 7:30... Her leave will be from after Graduation until 9pm that night Friday the 25th.
Good luck to all your sailors... They are almost done!

Only had to remove the BS date Cookiemomster. Be sure to send that info to diannep in a private message. :)

Comment by Cookiemomster on October 19, 2013 at 11:53pm: Hi again...was I not supposed to post all that info? Whoops if I goofed. I just heard so many worried parents so I thought this would help.

Comment by racing girl on October 19, 2013 at 9:53pm: Navyblue what div is your son.alsodainepp yousaid we can give them their electronic at the airport to take.is that true

Comment by Cookiemomster on October 19, 2013 at 8:13pm: Hi all tonight. Thank you BunkerQB. Happy to listen in. I am anxiously waiting for any news of div 407. My daughter obviously and hopefully in the PIR for next Friday. Flying from CA Wednesday. Just myself so hopefully will meet some of you at Sarge's event next Thursday. Any tips for airport shuttle from O'Hare to my hotel in Guernee? Thanks...

Comment by Sherri357 on October 19, 2013 at 8:13pm: Yes it was all good. Maybe she will try again.

Comment by Idaho_Ma on October 19, 2013 at 8:06pm: Sherri367, I just missed a call from my daughter who is also in Div 950. I was worried why she would call tonight, so I'm glad to hear that your son called you with good news.

Comment by Sherri357 on October 19, 2013 at 7:58pm: Div 950 I just talk to my son on the phone 3 times tonight cause he kept forgetting to tell me something. He is getting very excited. He said he would call me again probably Tuesday. I am super stoked.

Comment by shipsahoy on October 19, 2013 at 7:05pm: thanks so much for the replies-guess i better unpack some things!! i knew i was over packing so she can choose and i will bring back what she doesnt want. can you tell me where to see the graduation online after the event. i know the one to live stream but seen another one you can watch later-said dodlive but nothing coming up thanks

Comment by ellen0502 on October 19, 2013 at 6:41pm: shipsahoy, I would not take to much with you other than her electronics (hair dryer included), and maybe a pair of jeans and a couple of warm sweaters.

Your daughter will not be able to wear civilian clothes until she has phased up at school, that will take 2-4 weeks. She will either buy the locks or have a couple locks to lock things up. They don't have an awful lot of room, but they do have a locker and a small closet.

There is a Walmart :/ close by and Target :) in Gurnee.

Comment by diannep on October 19, 2013 at 6:23pm: shipsahoy: I would take whatever you think she may want....you can always take some of it back home if she doesn't want it. They have to lock all of their things up....by the time you see her for Liberty (they move over to GL A School base right after PIR), she will know how much storage space she has. She has to phase up before she can wear the civilian clothes, so its probably better not to take too many. You can always mail more to her later. There is a big Walmart not too far from the bases, and also a very nice mall (Gurnee Mills).
