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"

IF your recruits end up staying in FIT (no bad vibes just an fyi) please let us know and we can give you the FIT division address.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 3, 2015 at 10:59am

The Navy does it's best to get mail to recruits and Sailors. It can be difficult when a Sailor moves around a bit.

We usually advise you to stop sending letters near the end here, but if you feel the need to write up until the very end before you leave for PIR ( or even while you are traveling) because you want to connect with your loved one, then please do so. You can always give the letters to them at PIR or send them to A school. It is actually a proven scientific fact that there is a very real emotional connection between your hand and brain when you are writing. Typing works too but actual physical writing is the best. So it's GOOD for you!

I will say that I mailed late in BC and they forwarded the letter to his a school (that is procedure and law. USPS is a federal entity.) We all know that sometimes mail can get lost but thought I'd share that mine was a successful experience :-)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on September 3, 2015 at 10:47am

maghirsch -Right now I would send to his regular Division address. (This would be the last couple of days to send letters anyways.) We're riding on the hope that being in FIT is temporary :-)

What I would do is make a copy of that letter to keep. That way if for some reason it can't catch up too him at RTC you have it to give to him later so he knows you were thinking about him.

Blessings to you all who are going through this right now.

Comment by maghirsch on September 3, 2015 at 10:06am

so how do you write your SR that has transferred to FIT, would like to send him a letter out today, should I send to his regular address out there in hopes they forward to him?

Comment by diannep on September 3, 2015 at 9:46am

Dolo:  Most likely, that was not a call from RTC.  Go on that hope!

For those with SRs in FIT....yes, if they pass their test by Wed of next week, they will be at PIR---tired in that case and probably sitting in the balcony, in uniform, after having been up all night doing BattleStations.  Problem is, they usually cannot call you until after BattleStations so you may blindly have to go up there, hoping their name is on the graduation list.  If not, you are not allowed to see them.

Hoping that these SRs get the tests passed either this morning or Monday morning....calls would come earlier then!  If they do not pass by PIR date, they stay in FIT....get 10-12 more chances every 48 hrs.  Once they pass, they do BattleStations, have a short Liberty, and head straight to A School, no PIR once they miss their own. 

Prayers for all!
Good Morning!
