OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

~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"

Congrats to all who received their calls! What a joy to share that sentiment with you!!
I rec'd a letter from my Sailor yesterday. She told Div 145 came in 2nd place for the Captain's Cup and first place went to 146!!!
She also said her division is a lot more smaller now from when she started. Just before BS21 - 5 more recruits got ASMO'd. She is hoping to see them all again soon.
A wild ride it has been, that is for sure!
Huntersmom - praying for your son. Put it all in God's hands.
Can't wait to meet you all at the Meet & Greet tomorrow!!!
omg!! Yes it is tomorrow...so two more wake-ups and we will see our Sailors!
Blessings to you all!
diannep, ellen0502, CatMom509, Lala, Craig, Lemonelephant and all who have helped me (us) thru this...
you are Heroes! Thank you!!

Well put, MissMaryE, I feel the same way! What a ride it has been! I want to personally thank lemonelephant, Ellen, CatMom, diannep, and Lala. All of you are a wealth of information as well as support, and CatMom, I always looked forward to your daily scriptures :) Thank you all for being there through some high times and some low ones! Welcome to all of the new moms; every time one of you posts about leaving your SR at MEPs, or receiving the box, or waiting for that form letter, I am there with you, because I was in your shoes not that long ago! Enjoy it as much as you can, because it really will be over with before you know it!

Good morning ~ I guess I can say... I officially survived Navy Boot Camp!!
Yesterday was an emotional thrill ride and as much as it was filled with worry and anxiety, it was also filled with great joy and relief!
The veteran moms who "camp ~ out" here, should and hopefully will receive all the blessing they are need of through out their lives...because I can say, without reservation...they saved me! I'm so thankful for each of them!
My son made it! I am humbled and stand in awe to his perservance to endure to the end. He accomplished this because of the support and encouragement of those men that fought for the same things as a division!
I am proud to say... I am a Navy Mom!
