~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"

From the RTC Family Guide
The gate pass can be obtained via the following web address:
http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp
.
To access the gate pass, you must input a password provided by your Recruit. If you did not receive this password in the initial letter sent by the Recruit, you should write your Recruit and request the password. You may also ask for the password over the phone if and when your Recruit calls.
RTC is unable to provide this password to you.
The password must be obtained from your Recruit.
Do not give the password to anyone!!! I am not saying you both aren't who you are saying you are, but do you really know who anyone is on this site?
The only one who can give you the password is your SR/Sailor, ask the next time he/she calls!!!!!! If they can't remember it, they can ask another recruit while you are on the phone.
Printed mine also< actually i printed 3 just in case i loose one!
Hello Friends,
"For those who know Your name will trust in You,
for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You."
Psalm 9:10
Yes, correct, Sandy. Only the SR can purchase the tshirts before PIR now. They switched companies...use to be Poseiden who allowed all to order them before PIR...some families even wearing them at PIR. Now you have to wait. :-(
Here is the link for the division tshirts if anyone else wants to read about them:

Thank you Ellen0502. We used to be able to purchase the t-shirts before PIR. I guess now it's after.
The link for the t-shirts is also in the "Pages" here on the main page. The pages are located on the right side of this page under the members photos.
