WELCOME to PIR 07/11/2014!
~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"

We adopted two sailors with no families there for PIR. They had a great time and it was fun getting to know them and hearing all about their experiences :)
Good morning everyone!

It is sad that family members/friends cannot represent each sailor at PIR, but sadly, many can't be there. That is why many families "adopt" another sailor after PIR and let him/her enjoy a day with family! For those who don't have family there, they can go on Liberty on the BUDDY system.

ONLY ONE MORE MONDAY of BOOTCAMP for our SR's!!!

Well my daughter didn't really get into detail what the circumstances are with her shipmate not having anyone attending the graduation. I realize sometimes family and/or friends just can't attend for whatever reason, but they exist and other times there simply is no family to speak of. I saw some of that in military myself and the brother/sisterhood became their family. In any case, it's a very proud and emotional day in their lives and should be remembered as such. Just a little something to always have and reflect back on. Wish they had this kind of keepsake stuff when I went through. I went home after graduation with one heck of heavy metal "cassette" collection from the PX and Marine Corps t-shirts though. Lol
