WELCOME to PIR 04/19/2013!
~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".

Hello Everyone, I haven't been on for a few days. PIR was wonderful. All of our Sailors are amazing and I am proud of every single one of them. I will be on here keeping in touch but I least I don't need to stalk it as much as I did during BC :).
Thank you to all of you as well you have been amazing throughout this journey. A big Thank you to our Alumni parents on here that made this journey much less stressful with the abundance of info.

tracyelln I was so impressed by your daughter. My husband and I were sitting in the 153/923 section and I was watching her before the ceremony with her partner. How in perfect timing they were! And when they performed! OMG!! Brave girl to be walking through all those flags and such! I would have been ducking constantly LOL. 923 did such an AMAZING job! My son was in 153 on the side by the flags in the middle so I was watching both constantly.

the families of the award winners are given VIP seating which is stage rigth and the 923 was stage left. If we had sat in front of the 923 division we would have had no problem seeing her. When they send you a letter notifiying you your sailor won an award they notify you that at check in you must give your sailors name and they then escort you to a waiting room where you are briefed on the ceremony. You really must sit in the VIP area because they escort you out before liberty is called for a private ceremony where they present your sailor with her award. This is private for family members only.

tracyelin: Congrats to your sailor! That is so wonderful. Would you have been able to see better in your division section? Did you have a choice on that? I ask this for info for future groups. So sorry it was hard to see her.

The ceremony was beautiful! My daughter won the military excellence award and was the one standing in front of the 923 div sign with her cutlass before the ceremony got under way. Sad to say that our VIP seats were not very good since she was stage left. Any pics would be awsome. She led the flags with her cutlass on the left. We were ushered out of the auditorium for a private ceremony before they called liberty and the commanders,etc couldn't have been niceer and more down to earth! I cried like a baby!! Our kids are amazing! Its too bad they changed the departure date for the corpmen going to texas. My daughter was lucky her boyfriend was able to stay the weekend with her!!
