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".

Awwww, Kered802. You probably will never know how wonderfully special you have become to that female sailor. So sad when those at home don't write....many can't make it to PIR, but everyone should be able to write to their recruits. You sound like a very wonderful lady!

I was so proud to see my sailor graduate on Friday. What a joyous occasion. My sailor will be in Pensacola for a while. He doesn't know how long. He is still waiting to class up, not enough people yet to start classes. I am definitely going to check on another sailor who clung to me at the airport when I went to take him his things. That sailor had only received one letter from mom and no one would bring her cell phone. Mom didn't come to graduation. We all took pictures together and before she left, she said she felt like part of a family, As soon as I walked into the airport to greet my son, she almost knocked him down to get to me. She told me he had been a good friend to her during her time in BC and she wanted me to know that. That really made me proud. I told her to send me her address via my son and I will write and send her some things along with the picture we took.

My Sailor has arrived at the airport in Pensacola. I had a great time this weekend at PIR (despite the weather). Sarge's meet and greet was combined with the Ramada Inn meet and greet due to weather. So enjoyed meeting the other N4Ms and hearing all the info Sarge had to offer. Access to the base and PIR Hall was a breeze, great seats, Residence Inn was very nice and full of info. We parked in the hourly parking at the airport and only cost $15. Our Sailors looked sharp and very mature. So proud of them. Div 923 did a wonderful job.
