DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

for
N4M's Community Guidelines and OPSEC.

~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".

nahuatl, Maybe someone here can take your sailor under their wing for the day?

debsproud, Yes, if your sailor is moving over to the other side for school it is a different gate from the PIR gate, and yes it is the one by the visitors center. That gate is approx a mile from the gate for PIR.

Comment by debsproud on June 12, 2013 at 1:22pm

ellen0502, is this main gate different from the main gate we will come in for PIR?  My son mentioned a visitor's center as a place to meet, but I like where you are saying better if it's different ...

Comment by nahuatl on June 12, 2013 at 1:21pm

Congrats to all and safe journey! My family and I will not be able to attend PIR. Our youngest is graduating high school tomorrow all the way in GA and we were unable to arrange to be in GL by the following morning :(

debsproud. TSC=Training Support Center (A School side and base)

Comment by debsproud on June 12, 2013 at 12:38pm

What is TSC?  (dummy me)

Comment by ellen0502 on June 12, 2013 at 12:27pm

Ladies and gentlemen, If your SR is staying in GL for school. Don't forget to get to the main gate early on the TSC side to pick up your sailor after moving over for school. Hearing the cadence start up in the distance from the new SAILORS marching from their ships to the gate for liberty, then watching them march towards the gate is wonderful.

If you are already there when you get the call to come get them, hearing that cadence start up from a long distance away and wondering if your SAILOR is on his/her way for liberty is almost as good as waiting for the door to open at PIR.

Ladies, I know how you feeling, missed my first call yesterday because I didn't have service when he call, and I was so upset since I been carrying my phone everywhere.

Calls could start from 227/228 in just about 3.5 hours!  Phones handy!

Comment by jitterbug61 on June 12, 2013 at 10:37am

I am on pins and needles!  Can't wait to hear from my SR!

Comment by joyce0822 on June 12, 2013 at 10:35am

Good Luck all in Div 227/228.. I got my call yesterday around 3:00 EST. Hope you don't have to wait too much longer...
