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 CatMom509 on October 17, 2015 at 5:15am: Netty66,

Just click on any of the SARGES MEET & GREET in the Events section on the lower left of this page for general info on the Baskets to be raffled off. A fun one is usually one that represents goodies from your State. The centerpiece is just an extra thing, but the tables are just the bar type ones with not alot of room when everyone has their food and drink and it is dark to see those centerpieces....so unless there is a bunch of you from the same division who want to try to sit together, I think making one is really unnecessary~~

Comment by CatMom509 on October 17, 2015 at 5:06am: Greetings!

     "All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

      toward those who keep the demands of His covenant."

Comment by ellen0502 on October 17, 2015 at 12:28am: "No news is good news" will go far beyond BC.

My sons ship was deployed in July, and I have heard from him only three times since then. Short messages from him like "Internet still sucks when out floatin' on a boat. I love you!"

It won't get better, but it will get easier, I promise.

Hang in there!!!

Comment by Netty66 on October 16, 2015 at 11:41pm: Hello everyone! I have a question about Sarge's meet & greet... I've read about bringing a gift basket for donation to the meet & greet to be raffled & I've also read somewhere (which I cannot find now) about making centerpieces for the tables with your sailors division #...has anyone else seen anything about this or know anything about this because I cannot find info on it now?

Comment by Brenda on October 16, 2015 at 9:43pm: This is the longest I have ever went without speaking to my son, but having this site and all of you to lean on makes this time seem easier. I find myself coming here more and more just to feel the closeness of you all and to know I am not alone in how hard it is to let him grow into the man I know he is. I truly miss the boy I sent to the NAVY but can't wait to squeeze the man they make him. Thanks to you all, I will make it.

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2015 at 9:38pm: The lack of contact is very difficult....especially in this type of world of instant communication! But it is good practice for deployments too.....because there are "blackout" times when there is no communication from the sailors....so there is a purpose for it! A School is much better when contact is established again!

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2015 at 9:36pm: Well, actually VirgoMom....it is the Recruit Mail Petty Officer completing training that allows the division's mail flow to start!

Comment by Proud Navy Mom on October 16, 2015 at 9:00pm: My daughter is ship 11 div 19 too. She said they didn't get to write or call last week because they got their privileges taken away. She called me because she needed some info about her little sisters for clearance. She said they will hopefully get to call on Sunday but I wouldn't expect any letters this weekend. Hope this helps.

Comment by VirgoMom904 on October 16, 2015 at 8:53pm: babygirlsailor1- I am in the same boat as you, so to speak! :)daughter is in the same ship and division and I haven't heard anything from her either, no call, no letter.. I know no news is good news but this whole no contact thing is very much harder than I thought... Maybe now that they have a yeoman the letters will come in next week :/
