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."

for
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".

For those of you looking for a special gift for your SR-soon-to-be-Sailor, please check out www.pirgifts.com .  They have Challenge Coins, which are a military tradition.  Craig, who is one of thei administrators on Navy for Moms, designed the ones that are connected to the ships at RTC.  The name of your SR's ship is right next to the ship number in the Discussion section.  When you click on one of the coins, you will be taken to a page where there is a video about Challenge Coins.  This would be a special gift especially connected to their Boot Camp days!  Another really sharp coin is the Core Values one in the section where 70 other coins are available--it has cut outs and a diamond cut beveled edge.  These coins are no longer given out by the Navy to the Sailors, so it is up to friends and family.

Mrsb, you're welcome!~

Comment by 1k2n3j on May 17, 2013 at 8:16pm

I got a letter from my son yesterday and in it he says they have been busy doing drills, practicing for inspections and graduation.  From what I gather (reading between the lines), these next 2 weeks are going to be very busy, with the last week more relaxed.  He describes their division as being good, having earned two flags so far.  We can all be proud of them, they are really working hard, and are staying focused and persevering in their simulations, etc.  Hope everyone gets a letter soon, but wanted to pass what I know in the meantime.  : )

Thanks CatMom509!  A lot of good tips there!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 17, 2013 at 4:16pm

Maybe this will be the day Janet!!

Comment by Janet (Grad Hold in BS) on May 17, 2013 at 12:33pm

I'm still going to stalk the mailman today in hopes of getting a letter, but I feel better now that a very good friend of mine called to tell me that SHE rec'd  a letter from my SR yesterday!  She had been sending him cards and he responded to her.  She read me the very nice letter, and I was so proud!  I'm glad he showed some appreciation for the support he is receiving from friends and family.  ~sigh ~ just three more weeks!!! 

Comment by mrsb on May 17, 2013 at 11:47am

Thanks diannep, that's kind of what I thought.  Just wanted to confirm.  Since he passed the second one I have no doubt that he'll pass the third one.  Only 3 more weeks!!!  HooYah!
