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"

Good Morning!

Those of you with Sailors staying in GL for A School. :)

After PIR your Sailor will need to check in at TSC for school before liberty. This will/may take several hours, and you will get a call letting you know they are ready to leave base, generally between 2-3pm. This call may come from any area code, as the Sailors already in school do lend their phones to the newbies to make that call. You will have until approx nine or ten o'clock that night with your Sailor. They cannot be late in returning to base, and must be back at their ship not at the gate by return time.

On Friday if you are able to, and weather permitting, get to the gate early (around 1-2pm) to wait for the call to come get them. You can waste some time at the museum etc while waiting, and mull around talking to others also waiting for their Sailor.

The reason you want to go early is, "new" Sailors muster for liberty outside their ships, when they are ready for liberty they march by ship to the gate (this only happens on Friday). You can hear cadence start in the distance, and as a group gets closer the anticipation that your Sailor is in that group is almost as much as waiting for the door to open at PIR. There can be several groups on their way at the same time. :)

On Sat and Sun your Sailor will have liberty from approx 6am to 10pm, and they will again call you when they are ready to leave. Here is the "tricky" part for these two days.

You will wait at the gate for your Sailor, when s/he arrives you will need to go back to their ship with them to check them out. At that time you may be able to drive them to their ship, they must be in the car with you. If you cannot drive them back, you must walk with them, and be prepared to do so. The walk to their ship is a looooong way from the gate. Once you have checked them out they are ready for liberty.

When you return your Sailor to base each night, you will have to check them in. It must be the same person who checked your Sailor out that checks them in. You may be able to drive them back to their ship when returning, but that is not always a given. Be sure to allow enough time returning, to walk them back to their ship.

Checking them in "on time" is considered late in the Navy. Get them back early!!!

Remember things in the Navy can change (and do). Your Sailors have been briefed on liberty times, ask them as soon as you see them when they need to be back. They also know what is and isn't allowed while on liberty. Do not tell them "it's ok to do it, nobody will find out."  They will and do!!

CATMOM: thank you for the info on PFA AND THE WEBSITE AND for the daily scrptures...
Comment by diannep on April 6, 2015 at 7:18am

Good Morning!  Prayers for those trying to pass their final PFAs again this morning!

Comment by CatMom509 on April 6, 2015 at 3:07am

DREW7062,

The SRs have to do a 1.5 mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups.  The time and amounts relate to whether one is male or female and one's age according to the chart at this link:

https://www.navycs.com/navy-fitness-assessment.html

 

Comment by DREW7062 on April 5, 2015 at 10:59pm
Does anyone know what exactly do the SR's have to do in the PFA and how many do they have to do to pass how many sets?
Comment by diannep on April 5, 2015 at 10:36pm

Prayers for the SRs taking the PFA again tomorrow.....remember, they still will have another chance Wed, but lets pray them through tomorrow!

Comment by jseven808 on April 5, 2015 at 10:29pm
Rocky road... My SR is in same DIV 141 as yours. I have prayed very hard in mass today and even shed tears because I believe in them and they can all do this.
Comment by jseven808 on April 5, 2015 at 10:26pm
Rockyroad... I have asked our
Lord to hear our prayers during mass today. Keep faith and believe.
Comment by DREW7062 on April 5, 2015 at 10:00pm
ROCKYROAD AND SHEILAGIRL: Prayers coming your way! I pray these SR's pass all their test with flying colors. I pray God guide these young folks and every test is passed.
