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"

Got my first letter today. I was so excited. It gets a little easier everyday.this is the first time my son is going away from me for such a long time without immediate means of communicating with me. I miss his calls to me as a I drive home from work just checking where I am. I find myself just calling his name out loud in the house and the strange part is I almost expect him to answer. Can't wait to see him at PIR.

Comment by corrie on July 24, 2014 at 7:58pm
I have had a wonderful day today I got to hear my SR'S voice first thing this morning even (Even if it was just to get some info from me) and then I got my first letter. He is in good spirits he said he just misses his 6 month old son. So I sent off pics today of the baby today has my hopes up that he is adjusting well seeing how he has never been away from home.. I hhope you all get letters and calls soon.

I received my first letter from my sailor today:) He is happy with his division and said he is forming some good friendships with some of your sons:)
Comment by diannep on July 24, 2014 at 3:26pm

Bethany:  He can use his Navy-issued supply debit card to purchase these things in the NEX.....in the meantime, usually the other SRs are good about sharing their phone cards and sharing stamps.  However, you can mail him both of these items to make sure he has plenty!

Comment by Bethany on July 24, 2014 at 2:34pm

Darn.  No letter today as it appears Thursdays are mail days from reading posts.  I only bought him a 10 dollar phone card and I think he used all the minutes at the last call.  Didn't realize phone cards are pretty much a scam with connection "minutes" until I started reading the back of the card.  Too bad the Navy doesn't issue them a card with an hour's worth of minutes for boot camp that would come out of their pay..or some such thing.  I didn't send any stamps so he may not be able to write.
