~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"

Had an awesome time in the GL for PIR! Got to meet so many of the amazing mom's I have connected with on here. Sarge's Meet and Greet was funtastic. Great night. And well the graduation ceremony was beautiful! If anyone is going or getting ready to go to PIR I suggest contacting Sarge not only for his meet and greet but for his taxi service. He was a God send to me. He goes over and beyond for everyone. God Bless all our Sailors! Such a memorial day......one I know I will never ever forget.
Blessings to all!
big (((((NMH)))))
Gals,
So did everything turn out like we said or was anything different at PIR? We'd like to know if there are any changes that we should pass onto future PIR groups! Thanks for your help~ :)
Lala,
I will probably never forget the day I spent with you in Hollywood playing "tourist"--if I had a $1.00 for every time someone asked where I was from, I would have made about $5.00!! lol!! What a fun adventure~~ :D
Yayyy for your Sailor, Jacob94mom!! Here's to taking control of his future!! HUGS!!
Wow Jacob94mom, that is a very good reason and one very determined young man :)
Hi everyone, I made it home from CA where I was visiting my daughter who just finished her 4 years in the Navy. Her husband is still in and based at Coronado. I was there for two weeks and I feel like I went somewhere and explored that state every single day lol. I am so tired and I am dragging myself along. I guess it is jet lag and it will probably take me a few days to get back on east coast time in my mind, It was a great time. I highly recommend The San Diego Animal Safari Park over the zoo and if you go to Holywood you must do one of the tours. I really didn't think it would be that great but it was very interesting. I also liked the Santa Monica Pier and the pier and Seaport Village in San Diego was awesome. I tried to fit it all in just in case I never get to go there again lol.I had so much fun, especially with my daughter and granddaughter. I got to meet some great Navy Moms at the Meet and Greet and got to meet and spend the day with CatMom in Hollywood. We chased stars down Hollywood Blvd for hours, went down Rodeo Drive and toured the Hollywood sign and Beverly Hills. I even had my daughter call to see how much it would be to stay in the Hotel California for one night....$540.00 was more than a little rich for my budget lol. CA has so much to see and do and 2 weeks wasn't nearly enough time. We went to the Light House in San Diego and saw a Navy Sub coming back into port, saw the USS Reagan that is in port in Coronado and bought lunch for some sailors who were eating at restaurant in Seaport Village. It was a great vacation and we had so much fun :) Here is a pic of the statue at Sea Port Village. It is so much bigger than I ever imagined :)
A Blessed Father's Day!
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord,
for this is right. Honor your father and mother,
which is the first commandment with promise:
'that it may be well with you and you may
live long on the Earth.'
Ephesians 6:1-3
That IS very special, KathieinFL!!
