~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"

Remember that your SRs cannot write until they have been there about 2 weeks, and they don't receive their mail until then either. They must train the Recruit Mail Petty Officer before mail services can begin. After that, they can write on Sundays, which means you will have your expected "usual mail" day each week. Although they can only mail out once a week, they will start receiving mail M-F after that.

Good Morning!
Also, the divisions will lose and then gain back more SRs. They will graduate usually with alot less than the initial approx 88 starting number. The ones they pick up are from earlier PIR groups who were delayed in training but now ready to complete their training.

Austins mom & cruisefan,
The diivisions have about 88 SRs each and they could be all male or integrated (mixed male and female).

No clue how big it is. If I've figured right , they hopefully had time to write on Sunday. Now whether or not my kid actually did remains to be seen. Hoping for a letter this week. I'm on the west coast, so I know mine won't be till the end of the week.

So is mine. Ship 02 div 952. Wonder if our kids know each other? I have no idea how big or how many kids are in that div. it's probably to soon yet but I haven't seen any personal letters come home yet. Must be terribly busy.
