While there, complete your Profile so you can post and share photos and videos of your Sailor and share stories with other moms!

OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

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".

     "The Lord watches over you-

       the Lord is your shade at your right hand;

       the sun will not harm you by day,

       nor the moon by night."

Comment by Idaho_Ma on October 6, 2013 at 10:28pm: Thanks for the news, ellen0502.

Comment by ellen0502 on October 6, 2013 at 10:18pm: Lala, You are using Chrome, it could be your Adobe Flash player that is integrated with Chrome. Check and see if the flash player needs to be updated, you can do this by going directly to Adobe or going through your browser. You may also have two versions the one with Chrome and a separate program, they will conflict if both are active.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 6, 2013 at 9:15pm: I am still having problems with the pop-ups on this site. If I click on a group a pop-up tells me I need to update my browser. I use google chrome. I tried signing out and back in but my computer told me this was an untrusted site. I ask a friend on here to try signing out and back in and her computer told her the same thing. Is anyone else having any of these problems? I think I may try to contact the admin of this site tomorrow and ask her if she has heard any of this from other people.

Comment by julee88 on October 6, 2013 at 7:14pm: My son joined as an E3 and his first paycheck was at an E3 rank. He received it about 3 weeks after he got to BC

Comment by ellen0502 on October 6, 2013 at 6:30pm: U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command

Great news coming out of Recruit Training Command today. Although the government shutdown and furlough continues, all civilian workers have been ordered to return to work tomorrow! It will be great to have everybody back and have the command back at full strength. See you at work in the morning!!

Comment by CatMom509 on October 6, 2013 at 5:57pm: Good Day!
