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"

CatMom59 Lol I knew I wasn't getting that right! Thank for the clarification. :)

Gals,

In the Navy, "rating" refers to your SR's job (IT, CTR, etc...); "Rate" refers to pay rate of E-1, E-2, E-3, etc...

Comment by CatMom509 on August 30, 2014 at 2:11am

crystal,

Do you know where your SR will go to A school? Or what his rating (job) will be?   Knowing that will provide you with a pretty accurate answer of how long you will have with him~~

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 29, 2014 at 11:41pm

crystal, most of them do fly out on Saturday. They normally leave the base around 2 am to head to the airport and their flight can be anytime during the day. You can meet them at the airport to have some extra time with them. There is a chance that some of them won't fly out until Sunday but that is usually when there aren't enough flights available. We suggest staying until Sunday when you can just in case but if your don't plan to meet at the airport and don't want to stay the extra day then book your flight home for Saturday. Maybe you can get a later flight in the day so you can meet him and still fly home. They don't always fly out of O'hare, it could be Midway as well.

I have a question. I am about to make arrangements for travel to GL in Oct. However how do I know how many days to get my hotel for . I have been told a few different things so far and I am not sure what to do. His recruiter told me he would be in GL all weekend until he ships out on Sunday. So I was just planning on leaving Sunday. However then I was told on here that he will fly out a few hours after graduation. Then he told me yesterday that he doesn't know for sure but he said rumor was that they would ship out Saturday morning. I just don't want to stay in GL any longer then I need to and I don't want to waste money on a hotel for an extra night either. I just wish I had a better time frame to work with. Any one have any ideas on how to narrow the timing down any?

I was able to speak to my son on Thursday I know it was brief and most of it was about documentation he needed but I was able to ask a few questions about how he is doing. He had a few mins to try to answer a few questions but could not really talk to much. But it was so nice to hear his voice.

Comment by Kelliann on August 29, 2014 at 10:16pm
