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 NCNavymom on December 4, 2015 at 12:19am: Kind of ironic that I received his Sailors Bible today. Thank you all for the information and guidance. Time to call it a day. Here's to tomorrow. One day closer to squeezing my son. hoooyah.

Comment by diannep on December 3, 2015 at 11:53pm: NCNavymom: Yes, SH sailors train at Meridian MS also in addition to the others I listed. Here is a link to give you more info:

http://www.cnrc.navy.mil/Graphic-Elements/Rating-Factsheets/SH-Ship...

I think your SR would have told you if his 'job' was overmanned? So lets assume that all is on course and he will be traveling to Meridian for training. That is where my son trained also but for Yeoman.

Give it to God is a great idea!

Comment by NCNavymom on December 3, 2015 at 11:19pm: Worring is like a rocking chair. Something to do but it won't get you anywhere. I spoke with his recruiter today. He thought it was strange SR had his orders. All signs point to to S-PACT. It will be okay. Give it to God. I just hope that he is okay with the change. It opens doors but isn't like starting from the bottom?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 3, 2015 at 11:10pm: NCNavymom - Try not to worry. I'm going to bet everything is just fine.

Like I said, I'm not too familiar with the SH rating. So who knows if he does have his orders already then it could be something specific to them OR it's simply a miscommunication.

Either way, the most important thing is that he is on track to becoming a US Sailor! The rest will work out. God always has a plan for good for us. Praying for you!

Comment by amanda on December 3, 2015 at 10:29pm: Navymom65 im semi creative lol but my sons girlfriend is great so im depending alot on her for the sign hahaha.

Comment by NCNavymom on December 3, 2015 at 10:18pm: Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I sure hope that he didn't lose his rating for anything other then it being overmanned. Ugh. I was having a good day too. Time to pray.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 3, 2015 at 10:03pm: I don't hear to much about the SH rating. Ship's Serviceman. They do indeed have A school in Mississippi.

Here is a link:

http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/enlisted/community/supply/Pag...

Sailors usually do not get their orders for fleet until they are near the end of A school.

The only times I could think of that being different is:

a) they did lose the rating while in Boot Camp and went PACT. Recruits meet with a classifier during BC (don't know if all of them do). Sometimes a rating is overmanned or undermanned.

OR

b) if they are Reserve status maybe? In that case, I am assuming that they will usually know where they are going while in BC because their duty station is usually close to their home. Wait, strike that. My son reported to the nearest Seabee base initially and then he was told he had to put in for a unit. He actually had a couple in the state and then one out of state to put in for. Sooo, if the ones in state did not have a slot for him he would have had to go for the out of state one. He got in state but it was farther away than the one he reported to right out of A school. His NOSC is in a different place as well.

That's all I can think of in my little "area of expertise". :-)
