~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"

ellen0502,
That's funny!!
ATT= Apprentice Technical Training
This school is required by several different ratings. Basically what is does is teach everyone that a thing-a-ma-jig is not a watcha-ma-call-it. It puts everyone on the same page.
If something breaks they need to be able to say this thing-a-ma-jig broke, and the repair person needs to know that the thing-a-ma-jig is not what s/he calls a watch-ma-call-it. Or if you don't know how a watcha-ma-call-it works, you want to be sure they don't teach you how to use a thing-a-ma-jig.
Communication, the key to success!
Is there any changed/updated info that you all found at PIR that we N4Moms veterans need to be made aware of? If so, please post it here! We want to make sure we give nothing but updated info to the future groups! Thanks! Congrats to your sailors!
It has really been a long and emotional weekend... my daughter headed to Pensacola this morning. I was able to spend all day Fri. And Sat.I then was lucky enough to have a flight after hers so I was able to spend extra time with her at the airport...Wow what a weekend!!!
Good Day!!
"He who overcomes shall inherit all things,
and I will be his God and he shall be My son."

We are here for you and glad to hold your hand. Congrats on your new Sailor, encourager~~ You're welcome!
Dearest Admins of this PIR group, I just wanted to take a moment before I would forget (again) to thank you for all your support. Yes it was an emotional time (between not getting the form letter and all the way to waiting for the "I am a Sailor" Call) but you all made this rollercoaster more manageable. I am going to recommend this and all the sites I visited and found great support to my local community and especially moms who are afraid of what the Navy can do for their children. I found that my little boy has truly turned into a Navy Sailor. I am so grateful.
You're welcome, Natalia~
Natalia,
I think I remember Sarge playing "in the Navy" by the Village People. Here's the YouTube link:
