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."

~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"

Those staying in GL for A School have Daytime Liberty throughout the weekend. A couple of years ago, they actually could stay with you overnight, but they changed that. Now they must be back on base by usually 9 or 10 pm, but you can pick them up again early (usually by 8) the next day. Lots of time with your new sailors!
Those flying out will have to have their sailor back at RTC by 8 or 9 pm , most likely, on PIR night. They will be bussed to the airports later that night to wait for Saturday flights. Occasionally a sailor may not leave until Sunday if they couldn't get flights for all of that A School group on Saturday. But most will be leaving on Saturday. Families take ID to the airports and can meet them there to get an airlines gate pass, waiting with your sailor until the plane departs. Extra time with your sailors! They will fly out starting as early as 6 a.m. and as late as late afternoon/early evening.

JaMi: We too took the shuttle and liked it. We left RTC about an hour after PIR was over....took my son awhile to return from his barracks after PIR but he was anxious to get off the base and see "other things" since he had been on it for so long! He was up there during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years holidays, and was delayed a week, so had been there close to 11 weeks. He was ready to see the outside world! :-)
Keep phones close today......could be early for this group for calls but you never know. Don't leave your phone for a second, even in the bathroom or stepping out to get the mail. Some ladies resort to bra-holding of their phones during Bootcamp just in case! If you miss the call, it is unlikely they will be allowed to call back since other SRs are lined up for the phones. If they leave a message for you, it was a personal call allowed them. If you miss a call and there was no message, it most likely was a "need info" call, supervised, and they are not allowed to leave messages.
Good Morning Everyone!
