~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".

Good Morning!
Mourning the loss of the sailors who died in the Navy helicopter training exercise off of Virginia Beach VA this past week:
http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2014/01/10/4400173/
The 25 yr old was best friends with the son of a Navy friend of mine. So very sad....the only child of his parents. Prayers of comfort for all of these families...
alice,
How did the Basket Project go? How many baskets and what was raised? Thanks for heading it up and thanks to all who participated~~
I know this is late in posting here, but at least you know the reason behind the delays.
Guests coming to the Graduation Today, 10 January: We are aware that the rail road crossing gates are malfunctioning on Buckley Ave. and Ray St. The North Chicago Police Department has called Union Pacific Railroad to resolve the issue. Apparently, the melting snow is affecting the circuitry that controls the gates. They informed the police department that it is their top priority to get the gates fixed. Closer to the time of the graduation we will assess the situation and make a decision on delaying graduation start time.
Happy Friday!!
"The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge;
and the ears of the wise seek it out."
Proverbs 18:15
Happy PIR Day! Hope that most of you are arriving at RTC now, headed into PIR Hall. Enjoy this very special day!
For those having trouble getting there due to weather...hope all made it ok!
