for
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"

PERFORMING DIV

Do you have someone in the performing/900's division? Performing divisions info:
There are actually three different performing divisions that rotate. One is a working group called ships staff and they work behind the scenes with VIP's and as greeters, side boys and body snatchers. Side boys for a Receiving line for the VIP's to enter through at the start of the ceremony. Body snatchers walk up and down the isles of sailors and make eye contact and even speak to the sailors to make sure they are not about to pass out. They often lock their knees because they have to stand in one spot for such a long time. If they lock their knees it can cut off the blood flow and cause them to faint. Of course the sailor behind them does their best to catch them  Another part of the performing divisions is the flag corps and they carry and perform with the 50 state flags during the ceremony. The third part is known as The Triple Threat. The Triple Threat is made up of the band, drill team and choir and they all perform throughout the ceremony. It is so amazing how they can pull this all off in such a short time and still accomplish all that is to be done during boot camp. They are either chosen for this division or they can volunteer for it. If they have band, flagcorps, drill team, choir, or marching experience they can volunteer. They can also be handpicked or volunteer if they have high ASVAB scores. They don't expect them to need as much time to study which gives a lot more time for practice  Once they are in the performing DIV they may be able to try out to be a part of the Triple Threat and be in the band, choir, or drill team. I hope this helps you all understand what your recruits are doing.

Happy Birthday to her, PoodleLady!

JAmom:  Brother divisions train together so they all know each other.  Div 910 doesn't have a brother division though in this PIR group since they are the only 900 group here.

Here is a link about MAs:

Good Day All!

     " "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord,

        'plans to prosper you and not to harm you,

         plans to give you hope and a future.  Then you will call upon Me

         and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you.

         You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.' "

                                                                                     Jeremiah 29:11-13

JAmom, here's a link on Recruit Petty Officer Positions (http://navyformoms.com/group/bootcampmoms/page/recruit-petty-office...)

Morning! No call for Christmas from my SR in 910 but I did get a letter yesterday which made me feel better. Can anyone explain what an MA does? I guess he is that and also what are brother divisions?
Comment by Codysmom on December 27, 2013 at 1:57pm
Thank you all for the support and info on the MA, been reading all of it!! The oc spray in the eyes is freaking me out a little. He cries when I put my contacts in! his eyes are so sensitive! I guess I just need something to worry about! Keep in mind I'm only 20 minutes from the base in Pensacola when your sailors get here if they need anything!!
Comment by PoodleLady on December 27, 2013 at 12:28pm
Happy Birthday to my SR! She turns 22 today in boot camp!
