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"

Just received the letter and looks like my son is graduating 11/25. We thought for sure it would be 12/4 as that what others who started the same week as him have for PIR date. Is there any chance it's wrong? Also, can he correct the names on the Guest list for PIR? He put Papa Jack and not his Grandpas name...he must be tired! Kinda cute though.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 13, 2015 at 5:33pm

Oh and yes, my son submitted names before he left.

He went in as an IT originally and that's a Secret Clearance. All of the folks on his list were interviewed AND they ask for names from those folks and interviewed at least one of them that I know of. This person "down the line" was actually more of my middle sons friend rather than my sailors friend. 

They even asked my neighbor if he had a horse and it is actually my middle son that owns the horse!

I was never interviewed, just contacted. Sometimes immediate family is interviewed and sometimes not. 

The key to the interviews...remain calm (there's no rush) and only answer the question asked...don't add info to it. Just let them do the talking. 

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 13, 2015 at 5:25pm

BethM - Yes, even though they gather information before they leave for BC there is the possibility of receiving a call for more names. 

Just do the best you can :-)

Not all those with a Security Clearance call for more info. I need to add that to my post.

Red Mittens- we all have those moments! And your time will come! Maybe something will arrive this week if the recruits had time to write letters on Sunday or Monday. I know it's hard to wait!
Comment by BethM on October 13, 2015 at 4:21pm

Wow  MNavy, what a thoughtful gesture!  So happy for you!

Comment by BethM on October 13, 2015 at 4:19pm

In respons to  FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW about security calls, my son gathered all of that information before he got his specific contract.  Do you think I still might get a call asking for more names/phone numbers? I want to be prepared like you suggested but I'm not sure all the names he gave them already.   Did your sailor already submit names before leaving?

Comment by RedMittens on October 13, 2015 at 4:08pm

Thanks, NavyDad for that lovely prayer. I was really encouraged by it. I'm a SadSack mom that needed a little kick in the pants to remember ALL the SRs....not just mine.

I love hearing everyone's stories of communications with their SRs! One of these days.......

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on October 13, 2015 at 4:02pm

MNavy - How WONDERFUL for you! God Bless your Recruit!

Comment by MNavy on October 13, 2015 at 2:34pm

Somehow I received flowers and a card from my recruit today - I highly doubt that is allowed to happen from bootcamp, so I am assuming he arranged for it before he left 2 weeks ago. I cried when I opened the box and saw the flowers.

Still waiting for a letter. Hoping it will come soon to hear he's ok! Happy for those of you who have gotten to talk to your recruit- so exciting! Hoping we all will receive letters from our loved ones soon!

Proud Navy Mom: Did your daughter say if they weren't able to write letters because of lost privileges or that they just couldn't write until this coming weekend?

SECURITY CLEARANCE CALLS

Here is something on SECURITY CLEARANCE CALLS:

If your Recruit has a rating that requires security clearance information,(800 Divisions, IT's, CTI's CTT's Nukes, AT's..., anyone that handles confidential info),there is the possibility of you receiving a phone call from your SR (Seaman Recruit) during the first one to two weeks (sometimes later as well) after their arrival for Security Clearance info. I received mine one week after my son arrived at RTC. Had no idea it would come that fast. I'd only really been on the site for a week or two, so I had NOTHING ready!My son asked for two more names along with their phone number and address. Sometimes you may be asked to fax the info but he was told to get it from me right then. So, it is a good idea to have a couple of references ready just in case.

This is a short business call and it is monitored. No time for chit chat...but once in a great while the person monitoring the call allows a few extra minutes.

The area code for GL is "847". My security clearance call, the caller ID said "US GOVERNMENT". We have also had "PAY PHONE" reported and then area codes for the surrounding areas...so answer all...and just get rid of those telemarketers!

Also, if you receive a call from your SR (at any time...not just the Security Call) and miss it...please do not call the number back. Your SR could get in trouble.
