~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"

hi Paula tell the young lady not to be stressed out it is my understanding from my brother in law who is a retired diver master diver from the Navy but if you don't pass your swim test they will get someone to help you they usually hold you back two weeks so that's what recycled means you just go back and try again maybe someone else can chime in on this discussion keep the faith hey keep your head up

Hello Ladies, I have a few questions. My friend told me her daughter didn't pass the fit test or the swim test and they were going to work with her so she could pass. How many chances does she get? She is not graduating on the 2nd? If she cant pass does she get send home and will it be and what type of discharge will it be dishonorable? She is really stressed. Any help is appreciate? Thanks

Good Afternoon everyone. I just hung up with my son, ship 13, div. 164. He is a sailor!!!! and he said that everyone in division 164 passed battle stations. I asked him about division 163 and he said he thought they all passed battle stations too but he was not sure (so don't quote me on that one). I think i will be able to sleep tonight. I am looking forward to seeing all of you on Friday.

Hello Ladies,
I just received my "I'm a Sailor" call from our son, ship 13, division 164.! I did ask if everyone passed and he thought maybe just a couple of SR's needs to repeat BS before PIR this Friday, 5-2-2014. He sounded really tired but I was so happy to hear his voice. I've seen the fearful and confused postings about BS so I hope this helps to keep up your spirits until you get your big call. Hang in there Ladies!!

No calls yet?

TonysMum: Hopefully those taking their PFA again tomorrow will be able to call if they pass it, so that families can continue with plans to PIR. Because they are not running BattleStations on Wed night, not until Thurs night, so that means those new sailors will most likely be in the balcony, in uniform, but too tired to march. Let's hope any in this PIR group trying tomorrow will pass and be sailors on Friday!

Ok so what about if your kid has to retake her PFA tomorrow and if they pass will they let them call to notified there parents Before(BS) and if they do pass (BS)will they be aloud to walk with there div and be aloud out
-

diannep: I was thinking that as well, but wanted to check and make sure. You never know what can happen. Because even saying that some ppl in the div failed bs, would mean that they took it in the first place. And I haven't heard from my sailor, so it made me worry.
