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."

N4M'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"

Comment by postonl on October 6, 2015 at 1:00pm: Has anyone heard from their Recruit in ship 04 division 007?

Comment by diannep on October 6, 2015 at 8:41am: Most likely this group didn't get to mail out letters until they had been up there almost 2 weeks. Not sure when most arrived, but they have to train the Recruit Mail Petty Officer first....some may finish earlier than 2 weeks, but most will have their first chance to mail out letters at the 2 week mark, on a Sunday usually, and receive held mail then. It is true that after the Recruit Mail Petty Officer is trained, they get to receive mail M-F but can only mail out on Mondays (collected on Sundays).

Good Morning All !

Comment by Nicole on October 6, 2015 at 3:30am: I did receive a call from my son on Saturday but he could only talk for about 5 minutes. He wanted to let us know that they removed his wisdom teeth. And was doing fine after the procedure. However his best friend went to bc the week prior to my son and his mom got ALL of his letters Saturday and his call. So we all should be getting our letters and call by the end of this week or early next week. But I did find out that they receive mail everyday but Saturday and Sunday but can only send their mail out one day a week. If you send cards no glitter or anything that can rub off on their uniforms. It was so nice to hear his voice but he sounded tired and I'm sure his mouth was hurting. I hate that I couldn't be there while he was trying to recover from the procedure.But he did say he was doing good on his testing and had made some kind of leader but he was talking so fast and we had really no time to ask questions. So mom's make sure you have pen and paper ready to write down what they say and any questions you might have. That away you can pass on what they tell you! So sorry for the long post!

Comment by Classycalicat on October 6, 2015 at 1:33am: @A's- Mom ~ I sure hope so! My son told me that he had already written a letter & that I should have gotten it the week of his first call home, but alas ~ nada..... Hopefully the post man was holding letters home & sending them all out at the same time? I wishfully say......... Let's keep our fingers crossed for a phone call, letter, message in a bottle..... : )

Comment by Texasmom on October 5, 2015 at 11:44pm: Catmom509, I too agree!! Shows right off the benefit of medical ins and care for our sailors. I just got a chuckle from kens post re question on wisdom teeth. I too have heard so many of the SRS getting wisdom teeth pulled, including my own son. Just made me smile tonight and actually have a good belly laugh.

Comment by Austin's-Mom on October 5, 2015 at 10:36pm: @Classycalicat--Hopefully we get a call next weekend. Feeling a little better about it today, we still have something to look forward to. And we have Thursday, maybe we'll receive boot camp mail!!!

Comment by diannep on October 5, 2015 at 8:46pm: vnllamom: We stayed at Residence when up there. Nice hotel. We enjoyed it.

Comment by Kim on October 5, 2015 at 8:21pm: No phone calls yet from my sailor. We are booked into the Springhill Suites for our stay. We had no idea about the wisdom teeth! Crazy!! I can't wait to hear from him. I am missing my boy for sure!
