~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"

jessiesmom2013,
That's great your SR daughter got a 5.0 on her inspection! You're welcome on the Battlestations scripture~~
Here's another scripture for her PFA run and for all the others who need it too~~
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and the young stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the Lord wil renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:29-31

Sorry for the confusion diannep. Brownies are for the hotel after PIR.

Ok, confused about the brownie talk? I hope you all are talking about making the brownies and taking them up for them to eat at the hotel after PIR? Because they cannot have care packages...I don't care what the RDCs say (they can be a bit devious at times)...please don't send them! Please review the Family Guide link below, under Contacting Your Recruit...Mail, to see what is allowed to be sent to them. You sure don't want your SRs to be doing extra pushups, etc because of a care package!
http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/pdfs/FamilyGuide_v18Jun2013.pdf
I know this firsthand because when my son was there, an anonymous person whom we never could identify sent him a care package of goodies...he was grilled by his RDCs on who would send this. The return address was a vendor address in TX (it was over Christmas holidays). He had no clue, and once they were convinced that he was not involved in requesting this, they took it from him...and later he saw them in their office eating the contents! Had he known the person sending them, my guess is that he would have been doing some kind of IT (or sometimes they are made to eat all in the care package!).

jessiesmom2013...my son will love those hot chocolate brownies! (I am hoping she plans to share them with the guys of 75 also LOL!) He is a brownie fiend. I was planning to make and take him some brownies.
So, I am wondering what makes a brownie a hot chocolate brownie?

they are inside and run times depend on gender and age. They have to run 1.5 miles in the time that they fall in

Has anyone gotten a call from their SR that was in SIQ ? They were told they would get a make up call

Comment by Kari on January 19, 2014 at 8:35pm

How long is the run and is it inside or out?
