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."

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"

missymom:  1-3 a.m. would bethe time they are bussed to the airports, not flying.  They are all bussed there to wait for flights.  So hopefully her flight would be later in the morning or day and you can spend time with her at the airport.  The first flights out are usually around 6 a.m. or so.

s.m.r.,

My gut would say to go with digital since they work on 24 hour military time?

Hello!

"It is God who arms me with strength,

and makes my way perfect."

Psalm 18:32

I know someone has mentioned this before, but I'm going to get a gshock watch as a gift for him. What works better for miltary, digital or the watch with the hands.
Comment by diannep on August 29, 2015 at 12:05pm

Ajenavymomoferin:  That may very well be that they will schedule flights later because of the depression/storm may be arriving in that area (but the course of the storm keeps changing....believe me, here in Miami, we have been watching it for a week!).  Normally they fly out on Sat. or Sun.  But this being a holiday weekend also....that could have something to do with it.  You never know.  She will not know flights until right before PIR.  If she is held at RTC, yes, you should have Liberty with her then.  Daytime only, as is the case for all sailors during Liberty.  You can only hope!  Very doubtful they would be flying out on Labor Day....and actually, odd they would fly out on Tues as I would think that is a heavy travel day as well because of Labor Day.  I guess time will tell!

Comment by Deanna Hanks on August 29, 2015 at 11:09am
Does anyone know about flights to San Antonio Texas?
Comment by Ajenavymomoferin on August 29, 2015 at 10:43am
I saw somewhere where someone said that their sr flying to Pensacola was being delayed. My daughter said same thing in the I'm a sailor call that flight was being changes to likely tues now. I'm hoping that means she get liberty with us. She said wasn't sure why. I live 45 mins from there and ericka is projected to be direct hit now as it shift this way. It has disappeated but may regain. Strength with landfall by sat next week. Escambia county is in watch mode so therefore base follows as well. I have the link somewhere for weather stuff. This is my thinking why her flight may be changing but agin this is theory on my part and not fact
Comment by diannep on August 29, 2015 at 9:55am

Good Morning!

Yes, there are no BattleStations this weekend....they will start back Mon night and continue Tues night also.  So I'm a Sailor calls will come in on Tues and Wed afternoons for the remaining divisions.
