N4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~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"

      He is my fortress, I will never be shaken."

Comment by ellen0502 on April 6, 2015 at 3:16pm: Someone was asking in one of the discussion groups how the divisions are formed. It is basically a first come first in. This is just an "in general example."

Example: TG 1 has eight divisions, and the last two of them (brother divisions) are integrated. Six of those divisions are full, done with p days and are off to training. The last two integrated divisions are waiting for 40 recruits to fill their last two "regular divisions," and are put on p hold until full. They need 30 males, and 10 females, and the bus arrives with 60 recruits.

Those 60 recruits on the bus are, 35 "regular recruits", 15 female recruits, and ten with spec ops ratings (these rating are not randomly sent to RTC, they know when 800 division recruits are incoming).

The 30 needed males for TG 1 head into the last divisions, the remaining five start the first division for TG 2, the same with the females, ten go into the last divisions for TG 1, and the other five into TG 2. The ten in the 800 division head into TG 2 as planned ( plans can be broken, and have been. LOL)

Now TG 1 is complete and the last two divisions are off to processing, then off to training. TG 2 has begun, those starting TG 2 are now in processing and/or p hold.

In a perfect RTC world (LOL) Every bus that arrives would arrive in order having exactly what is needed, males, females, and recruits for the 800 and 900 divisions. Doesn't happen. :)

This is how and why divisions (not brother divisions) are on different training days and sometimes weeks. P hold days begin at the wait, and if hold days are long those divisions are now PUSH.

It gets even more confusing (?) as integrated divisions can start in the middle of a TG, and females are generally lacking, the all male divisions continue to form. They are sent through processing and put on P hold. They will remain on P hold until the integrated divisions are full, through processing, and sent off to train.

Comment by diannep on April 6, 2015 at 3:03pm: SunshinesMom: You can always contact RTC and ask them about it. There is a email contact form under CONTACT tab that you can complete and send to them. They could tell you how they send it when to an overseas address. I sure hope it doesn't take a couple of months since then it would be time to send his personal items back to him! Sigh....

Comment by DepthCharge4 on April 6, 2015 at 2:52pm: Okay! Thanks for the info Ellen0502! I will let her know

Comment by ellen0502 on April 6, 2015 at 2:31pm: DepthCharge4, I would assume she won't make it to the wedding.

Your daughters school may not start immediately following PIR, there might be a wait to class up before it starts. There is also the phasing up in A School that just takes time.

The first phase is no liberty or leave (emergencies exceptions) off base, and uniforms worn at all times. This phase is several weeks before phasing up to Phase II.

I will tell you it never hurts to ask! :)

Comment by DepthCharge4 on April 6, 2015 at 1:54pm: I have a question regarding A-school at GL after PIR: daughter is S-PACT and I'm told it is for 3 weeks. Her cousin's wedding is the 3rd Friday of A school, what is the possibility of her making it to the wedding? She introduced her cousin to his bride to be and would be nice if she could be there, but understand there is always policy to follow
