WELCOME to PIR04/26/2013!
~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".

asmoed=assignment memorandum
You are correct Connie, it means moving to another division and PIR. There can be a lot of reason for it, Failing final tests, needing extra language skills, more PT, or just because they won't be ready to graduate.

what does this "asmoed" stand for? In the Marines we called it getting recycled (to another platoon) or if the recruit needed extra physical fitness training they got sent to the physical training platoon. Just wondering....

HA HA! That's a good one Craig.

Thanks diannep...it's good to know a whole division isn't asmoed for the actions of a few.

Man this is great! ~ha....
I will NEVER look at y'all sailors the same in their PT gear... They're Minions !!!
Send this to your sailors, they will get a huge laugh....(for those that don't know, Minions are from the Universal Pictures comedy movie "Despicable Me"...)

Should clarify that the only time a SR is asmoed and will not pick up with another PIR group is if they do not pass their final tests (mainly PFA - fitness) before PIR. In that case, they are put in a FIT division (fitness tests) to try until they pass (they keep getting chances as long as they are improving)...then they do BattleStations with the next group going through and head straight to A School...no PIR in that case. However, they have up until Wed morning of PIR week to pass this test and still make their own PIR.

Just want all to know that your SRs may be threatened that if they do not get it together, the entire division could be "asmoed" (setback)...missing their PIR date. This has never happened since I have been on here (since 2009). A division will graduate on its PIR date...but individuals can and will be asmoed if the RDCs feel it necessary. In that case, they will pick up with another PIR group at some point. Many times, they are asmoed for extra academic work or PT work, for extra help if struggling with language issues, etc,, for discipline, or for sickness/injury. But....just know that the RDCs use the threat about asmoing the entire division to motivate them to work as a team and get the job done!
Good Morning All!

Very common for some divisions to still be struggling to "get it together." But they'll get there!
