NAI MOM

Tina316, I see you have changed your Username so that it no longer contains your first name. You also need to change the URL (address) to this page. Make change 2 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link) to take care of that. (If you are using a Smart phone, you will need to switch to Desktop View to make this change.)   

Also make change 3 while you are there so that this page is no longer open to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.   

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.  

I see you have joined Ship 5 Moms(Formerly Ship 17). See FAQ about SEPS and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/ship5/index.html for more information on SEPS.

Be sure to have your recruit sign paperwork with legal so that they will be able to discuss the situation with you if your recruit wants that to happen. Your recruit will also have to sign the HIPAA form for you to speak with anyone about any medical condition.

There is additional info for you at http://www.navydads.com/group/ship5formerlyship17 and http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/faq.html#separations. 

FAQ about SEPS indicates that phone calls are authorized daily, but the recruits may not have access to phones every day to make calls. Those in SEPS are usually able to go to the NEX at least twice a week--females on Monday/Wednesday and males on Tuesday/Thursday--and sometimes on Friday or Saturday and the recruits are able to access the phone banks on those days and make calls if they have a phone card. 

To join the Ship 5 SEPS fB group, click https://m.facebook.com/groups/535221726514465?tsid=0.54347966362468.... It is a closed group and you must be approved to join, which may take a few days to a week or so. Remember that the reasons for being in SEPS are as varied as the recruits there. 

"Separated" is now an option for “Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?” on your My Page. 

This may sound strange, but your recruit may thank you if you send several squares of toilet paper in each letter you send to SEPS since they run out at times. 

Tina316, be sure to make at least change 3 and change the Privacy Settings for this page from "Anyone" to "Members."
